Essay / Game Console Comparison - 1824
Game Console ComparisonPlaying games is one of the most popular ways for people to release the stress of work, school or other family problems . However, there are many varieties of games: console games, PC games, board games and many more. One of the most well-known types of games, however, is console gaming. Among all the consoles, PS2 is the best. This may be a bit blunt, but I have my reasons for saying this. We will have a discussion about this later. But first, what is the PS2? Why are console games so popular so far? Here's a little history of why console gaming has been so popular since the first console in existence, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), by the Japanese gaming company in 1985. Nintendo did a good job marketing the first game on console in the past selling merchandise worth thirty million dollars in the United States and ninety million dollars worldwide. This successful console gaming business changed the gaming industry, so that soon, Sony, another major Japanese electronics company, launched its first console called Sony Playstation in 1995. This console dominated the market, from so that Sony managed to sell over ninety million dollars in 2002. As the battle of console games continued, there was an unavoidable important fact called "period of excitement". After a while, people will get bored with the same type of machine and the same capabilities. This is why Nintendo started the practice of releasing a new console every 5 to 6 years. It released the latest upgraded Nintendo console called GameCube (2000) after Sony released the Playstation 2 (PS2) in the same year. The popularity of these console games prompted Bill Gates, the CEO of the major company Microsoft, to enter the console gaming competition by releasing the Xbox the same year. These three consoles have been competing against each other for 4 years now, and people often don't know which console is best. That's why I want to compare the three consoles based on these three categories: Game Play (the variety of games available, usability and age of the user), specifications and price. I prioritize gaming, because no matter how advanced the console is, if it's not playable, there's no reason for it to exist..
