2. 1. Introduction
Every PC gamer thought at least once about buying a
console. The most common question is „which console
should I choose?”. There are plenty of them on the market
and a new person in console gaming world can be a little
confused. Our simple guide will help you making the
decision. Note that we're going to talk only about non-
mobile consoles like XBOX 360 (and not about PSP, PS Vita
or Nintendo DS). Also, we're going to focus on splitting
consoles into generations instead of judging which console
is better.
3. 2. Most popular consoles
All the most popular gaming consoles can be divided into
few generations. We know that the official console
generations naming is slightly different, although our is
much simpler.
The prehistoric generation
The oldest consoles, only for enthusiasts or collectors. We
don't recommend them to regular use unless you are a fan
of old, classic games. The most popular one is definitely
PSX (Playstation).
The old generation
Good choice if you don't want to spend much money on
your first console. Consoles of the old generation feature
rather poor graphics, but are really cheap. You can buy one
for about 50 bucks (XBOX or Playstation 2).
4. The middle generation
Consists of modern consoles, the most popular right now
(2014). They provide good graphics and plenty of different
games. However the most demanding users with large TVs
(over 40”-50”) can be a little disappointed. The main
choice is between Playstation 3 and XBOX 360. Note that
consoles of the middle generation are much more
expensive than the older ones. The prices dropped after
the release of the newest generation though.
5. The newest generation
Features the best performance and graphics. They are
expensive but if only you can afford them, go for it and
enjoy an awesome gaming experience. The only negative
thing about the newest generation of consoles is a small
amount of released games (but don't worry, it's going to
change sooner or later).
