different gaming platform audiences and why??
Platforms: A platform is a device or console in which you may access a form of gaming. for example you may or may not have one the several below:
Ipads / Iphones / PlaysStation ( 1, 2, 3 and :) 4) / XBOX ( the first one / 360 or even :/ one ) / Nintendo ( 3Ds or DS ) / PS Vita, Gameboy
All of these platforms are there to do pretty much the same thing. Entertain. However, all of them have various different qualities that make them stand out individually. for a few years xbox was winning the so called console war because of its better controller as well as its best feature ' the chat lobby'. whereas, on the other hand playstation 3 was free to play online but that was pretty much it. but since the next generation of consoles has hit the markets, it shows that playstaion 4 has beaten xbox one due to its latest installments such as; chat lobby, share button, touch pad, new design of the comtroller as well as the size of the ps4 etc.
Consoles are platforms to entertainment in a form of gaming media. Usually on theses consoles you find games from all different genres. it is most likely thought that teenagers are the main audiences, however there is not real age for who should play it but you do find people that plays games and use media services on consoles to have broader mind of imagination.
Tablets are mobile computer with touchscreen display. circuitry and battery all in 1 single device.
PCs also known as personal computers, are the easiest way to
Handheld devices are devices that can be carried anywhere. They are usually high score games that you can use on a small device (subway surf, temple run, candy crush etc). However, there are online games which usually involve building your own world (clash of clans, boom beach, dragon quest etc). what you find thats most common with these games are they dont focus on graphics and storyline as theirselling point. its usually how difficult it is to get onto the next level or progress and how easy it is to use the controls. ( psp, android, ps vita, etc.)
