GAMES ; Console or Handheld

Let me just begin with no matter what, I believe games will always be here! Whether it’s on a console or a handheld device. I truly believe that console games aren’t coming to its ends, in fact it’s still extremely popular. The only reason I believe handheld games has become very popular as well is because it is convenient to us when we aren’t in our comfort zone. As fellow New Yorkers, we are ALWAYS on the go. Some of us enjoy playing games no matter what age or no matter where we’re location. On the bus? Why not pull out your phone to play subway surfers? On the train? Why not pull out your phone and play piano tiles? In the passenger seat of your friend’s car? Why not pull out your phone and play whatever game that has you hooked at the moment? According to The Guardian 16 trends that will define the future of games, a recent survey that the UK participated in showed that 75% of parents play video games with their children and I’m more then sure is done at home in their Living room. Which is again equivalent to The Guardian’s article, when it stated that families are spending more time together in the living room. However, this brings us back to what I previously stated, console games are not coming to an end or losing its significance to handheld games. They’re both on the same level, it’s just that one which is handheld works in our favor when we aren’t on our couches being sluggish individuals playing popular games such as 2K17, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto etc. Overall, I think the changes in the gaming world has its pros and cons. Pros being the console game, reason being, most of the time is requires us to be social. Whether you’re playing right next to someone at home or at a friend’s house of even online through your online headphones. It still requires interaction. As for handheld games, well this would most definitely be the con because it’s one device which requires one person. Unless you’re a child and you like sharing, there is no way another person will be playing on your device at the same time as you are.
