Portable Gaming

Portable gaming devices have a big impact on people of all ages; they are easy to take places and can be used for learning as some of the devices have special apps or games for learning purposes. Portable gaming devices haven’t been around for that long in fact they have only been around since 1976 which isn’t actually that long. There is a lot of gaming in the world now compared to 10 years ago more software comes out and everybody wants to get it so software and gaming is now a huge industry. The Wii for instance bought out in 2006 in Japan where it was first launched it soon came to England and was a huge hit in family homes for the fact you can have a lot of players. Another example would be the play station range usually used by boys but has a lot of stuff for girls+familys too!! Play station was one of the first big consoles out and is still used by people today. There is also another Nintendo brand which is the Nintendo Ds range which have now bought out Dsi and 3Ds which many children buy and love. Another example would be XBOX which is definitely again more popular with boys and is very similar to the play station but still has a range of games for it. Portable gaming is also easier it takes up less electricity as it is not constantly plugged in and only needs charging every so often depending on the usage which means that it is better for the environment then things like Xbox because computer systems like that need to be connected through electricity and are not battery powered. Things like the PSP are also very handy for long journeys as they are light and small so can fit in luggage and are easy to get out and use.
