The Age Of Gaming Console
Happy Friday this is the story from Sony. It isn't the oldest game makers but Sony originated in Japan and made their first console in 1994 and surpassed Nintendo to be the #1 gaming console a few years later. The global market is about $400 billion. In the US alone there are 214 million gamers. Why is this so? . Sony isn't the only online game console but it's easier for gamers to buy new games, you can go on the internet listen to music and also watch movies. Sony interactive Entertainment Inc's new patent is centered around the PlayStation 5 console to detect harassment or cyber bullying through biometric analysis use of players and AI. With these features it better to get a Sony console. Playing games with people from different countries are becoming the the norm for alot of gamers. With this comes gaming competition that pays you alot of money to win the tournament. Playstation organizer competitive gaming events for it's PS4 and PS5 players. These tournaments are played with different games example soccer, baseball, basketball and it goes on, it mostly played for cash but there are other rewards.
Nintendo is the oldest active video game company in the world, it has been making console from 1983. It is also a company from Japan. The Nintendo gaming console has been using cartridges for all of its console from this 1983 until now, why? It is said that the cartridge is better for Nintendo, although disc's are cheaper Nintendo cartridges has the advantages of faster load times. You can use the Nintendo switch on the go or hook it up to your TV. They offer downloaded games but must be connected to the internet, it is going to take a while because it's downloading a lot of information but with the cartridges it's faster to play and all you do is insert the cartridge in the console. They was a time when you could not carry your console around with you. Nintendo made in the 80’s a gaming device called a Gameboy you could carry it around and it needed cartridges to play the games but it's like Nintendo went back to that Gameboy idea and it has been about 40 years in the future and it seems like a modern idea but it is almost the same as the Gameboy but with a few technological upgrades. It's like all modern technologies, there's always something that was invented years ago but was not possible because the technologies weren't there, example cars, electricity and I could go on. So will Nintendo ever stop using cartridges? That may not happen anytime soon.
