An Overview Of The Top Three Video Gaming Platforms Available These Days
Posted by Juan Colmervis in Uncategorized, tags: books, entertainment, general, Harry Potter, misc, Miscellaneous, movies, news, UncategorizedThe most popular gaming platforms available in the market these days are the Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, made by Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony respectively. All of them are great pieces of gaming equipment, but they have inherent dissimilarities. For one, they differ with regards to footprint and weight. At 6.3×8.5 square inches and 1.2 kg, Nintendo Wii has the least footprint, and the least heavy among the three video game consoles.
When it comes to external appearance, people hail that Sony PS3 as the most ogle-worthy console. When they were first released, Nintendo Wii consoles were white, while the other 2 had sleek black exteriors. These days, their manufacturers have introduced other colors, although in most cases, these are special edition ones. Graphics quality in Wii is only up to 480p or 576i though, which somewhat falls short to the high definition 1080p resolution of Xbox and PlayStation3 units. At the same time, Wii does not have HDMI ports unlike the other two.
What Wii lacks in graphics quality, it makes up for a very interactive gameplay, thanks largely to its controller which is very different from its other game console counterparts. Unlike the traditional gamepad design used by Xbox 360 and PlayStation, Nintendo Wii’s controller looks like a TV remote control, aptly called by their users as Wiimote.
The Wii Remote has motion sensing capability which allows the user to interact and manipulate items on the screen by making gestures. This kind and amount of interaction transforms game titles like Harry Potter Wii edition extremely immersive. With Harry Potter Wii, you get to cast spells, stun or stupefy enemies using the Wii remote as a magic wand. Wii can also be used with other controllers like the Wii Zapper and Wheel making first-person shooter and racing games even more immersive. The Wiimote also has speaker and force-feedback modules which offer the user tactile and audio feedback during gameplay.
In terms of start-up cost, PS3 and Xbox are more expensive. Then again, these platforms have considerably more multimedia capabilities which make them not only great for gaming, but as entertainment centers as well. You can play movies on a PS3; you can’t do the same on a Wii console. Just the same, Wii is the least expensive of the three, and is most likely the primary reason to its impressive sales performance around the world.
All three systems have a wide variety of wonderful games. Some of these titles, like Harry Potter Legos Game, are available on all three gaming platforms. The latest Harry Potter Legos Game, which features Years 5-7 of the novel, was released just a few days ago. There are also instances that certain games can only be played on a particular system such as Halo 3 that can only be played on Xbox. Microsoft’s gaming system has a lot of exclusive game titles, making them extremely appealing for fans of a particular game franchise.
Harry Potter Legos Game can be played on different gaming consoles. But Harry Potter on Wii is easily the most immersive because you will be interacting using your makeshift wand, your Wiimote. Follow this link Harry Potter WII to continue reading this write-up.
