Gaming Consoles

A game console released in 2013 that continues the PlayStation line of desktop consoles. Like the third version, it is equipped with an 8-core processor, but in this case it is an AMD Jaguar, and the amount of RAM has been increased to 8 GB. The design provides a 500 GB drive, there are 2 USB 3.0 ports. Sony PlayStation 4 supports all major optical disc formats up to Blu-ray. Also worth noting is the integration with the Vita portable console, including the ability to use as a controller.

The technical characteristics of this portable set-top box are fully consistent with the name: in fact, we have the same 3DS in front of us, and the main difference from the original is the increased size of both displays — 4.88 "and 4.18" for the top and bottom, respectively. Another difference is the bundle, which includes, in addition to the stylus, also a 4 GB SD memory card. Other characteristics are almost identical: 3D playback without special glasses, a camera with a pair of lenses for three-dimensional shooting, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a Wi-Fi module.

Having replaced the original Wii, this model not only continued the traditions of the series, but also introduced several new original solutions. So, the design of the controller actually blurs the line between desktop and portable consoles: it is actually a separate portable console with a microphone, camera and its own 6.2" touch screen, where, if necessary, you can switch the gameplay from an external screen. At the same time the console is compatible with the games and all the accessories of its predecessor.

Another variation on the PSP theme, this time from 2009. This model immediately catches the eye due to the non-standard, within the line, case, made in the slider form factor. For the first time among the models of the family, in addition to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth support appeared, but there is no UMD drive, the console only works with memory cards. The hardware is traditional — a 333 MHz processor and 64 MB of RAM, but the screen has become somewhat smaller — 3.8 ". Traditionally, integration with the PlayStation 3 and PS Network support are provided.

The main feature of this portable console is the presence of two displays with a diagonal of 3.53". SD memory cards (up to 2 GB) are used as media.The console has a built-in Wi-Fi module and is compatible with the Wii desktop console (in particular for viewing photos), but GBA cartridges are not supported.

From a technical point of view, this console is outdated: the processor frequency is only 294 MHz, the RAM is 32 MB, and the overall set of features is not comparable to the successor to the PlayStation 3. On the other hand, version 2 has long been one of the standards, and it is written for it a huge number of games. The set-top box can be used as a media centre for watching movies from DVD with 5.1 sound; in addition to optical discs, memory cards are also supported. The package includes a DualShock2 joystick.

An advanced game console, the successor to the popular PlayStation 2 model. Compared to its predecessor, it has acquired a much more powerful hardware platform: for example, the processor has 8 cores at 3.2 GHz, the amount of RAM is 512 MB, it has its own drive (from 20 to 80 GB) , and supported media include Blu-ray and memory cards. An HDMI output appeared, and Wi-Fi (optional) and Bluetooth were added to the communications set. In addition to the original games, it is also compatible with games for previous versions of the PlayStation.
