Checklist For Game Consoles

Different Consoles
  • Consoles are divided into mobile and stationary variants, as well as combination devices.
  • Stationary cons oles are, for example, consoles of the Playstation and Xbox series. For them, a TV or other screen is needed to play. Also, at least one controller is needed to use them.
  • Mobile consoles do not require an additional screen or controller. Examples of handheld consoles are the Nintendo DS or the Gameboy.
  • Combination devices can be used stationary on a screen as well as mobile. The best-known example is the Nintendo Switch.
Games
  • Games are available either via download or as discs. Some games are pre-installed on the consoles.
  • Besides CDs, other formats of the games are required, especially for handheld consoles.
Tips for Use
  • Most game consoles allow joint gaming. The possibilities are either to play together on one console or to play together via online games.
  • The FSK rating should always be observed, especially for games, in order to ensure age-appropriate content. Game consoles should generally not be used by children under the age of 6.
  • Children often find it difficult to tear themselves away, so set rules and usage periods together with your child before buying.
  • Location-based devices can be better watched by you, while mobile devices are convenient for long waits or travel.
