Week 9

My mind is kind of vague about what consoles I had!! So…let’s start with Sega Mega Drive! I remember the controls…they were kind of wide and had six buttons and the arrows on the left side. Console wasn’t difficult to use! It was easy to adapt to but the control system wasn’t great!! It was uncomfortable when you had to press the sixth button which was at the far right. I think the most comfortable control was made by Playstation. It was definitely comfortable and adjustable and the console wasn’t too difficult to use.

From what I remember I had quite a lot of console’s but what attracted me the most by its design was the PSP Go. Even though I haven’t got the portable console yet…I absolutely adore it!! It is really small and it perfectly fits in between your hands. When this got released I was amazed by the design of how it slides down and leads the screen to be at the top and buttons at the bottom.

Here is the picture of the portable console….PSP GO!!

What do you think???

I think the users won’t have issues with the consoles as it has enlarged so much!! Consoles have now connected with the Internet, TV Soups, DVD’s and Games (obviously) LOL! So there is no room for issues from my concern.

I believe controls are important as much as the console!! If the controls were uncomfortable and hard to adjust to!! It will eventually put you off the console!! Control obviously controls what ever happens in the game so it is important for the control to be an appropriate design and it has to be easy, adjustable and comfortable to use. If the control is bad it could take the console down with it. So yes it could be a dying technology.
