65% of the usa households play videogames. Xbox 360, Wii and ps3 are the
leading videogame consoles at the moment. As an owner of every single
of this consoles it becomes simple to know the pros and the cons of each one. “For
the Xbox 360, still relatively comfortable as the best selling console” digital-digest.com. With the addition of the Kinect Xbox sales
really went up, yet the
sensor is not all that great, you need to have a big open space in order to
play correctly. In the BCG analysis I would definitely put Xbox 360 as cow cash. “The PS3 had the smallest year-on-year decline of the home
based consoles, and comprehensively beat the Wii by just over 130,000 units”
digital-digest.com. The PS3 has a free online gaming where Xbox you
have to pay extra for it. With this console the PS3 move controller can be bought separately and
it gives you an experience such as the one that the Kinect for the Xbox would
give you. Also the PS3Vita came out recently which is a mobile console that can
also be adapted with the PS3 itself. Even though this extra gadgets are amazing
people is not running out the door to buy them. Things like this also position
this console as cash cow with a lot potential of growth. “Definitely the end of
a cycle for Nintendo’s Wii, and the Wii U can’t come soon enough for the
company. A near 50% decline year-on-year is a bad result no matter how you look
at it, and in terms of hardware, and innovation, the Wii now looks like a very
dated piece of tech.” digital-digest.com. The Wii had an amazing
concept once it came out, it was cheap, it was fun, it was unique. But the
innovations of the other consoles out staged the Wii. The Wii console is still a cash cow, but
slowly moving towards dog. Yet not of these consoles is ether a star, the one
thing that I would consider a star when it comes to gaming is the smartphone, its
multi functionality, cheap price on games, diversity, mobility and it’s easy accessibility
makes it the perfect videogame console.
