Gaming Machines

Arcade:

 Arcade machines were the first gaming platform and were massively successful and it created hugely successful games like Pac Man and Space Invaders. The difference between arcade machines and consoles is that each machine is made for only one specific game.
 


Console:

Console is most likely the most popular choice of gaming as it can have great graphics and is easy to learn and play. Some of the most     popular games on console are Call Of Duty and Fifa. The difference between this and the Arcade machine is that it requires only one controller for multiple games. It also needs a TV where as Arcade comes with a screen.
