Arcade Machines

An arcade machine is an old gaming machine with a joystick and other controls. Arcade machines were created in 1909 with the original pinball machine. An arcade machine comes with all the devices you need to play it with as it is all built into the arcade machine. Meaning that the arcade machines are stand alone items. 

The difference between a console and an arcade machine is that the console is a home device and the arcade machine isn't also the console has to be connected to a TV whereas the arcade machines have a built in screen. However, an disadvantage to arcade machines is that they require you to pay before you can play which means you cannot just buy a game and play it over and over it is a price you have to pay each time. Another problem is that the games are designed for you to lose your money so not long after paying to start it you will have to pay again to carry on playing.

Console

The first ever video console was made in 1967 by a guy called Ralph H.Baer who is also known as "the father of games"  The video console is one of the most sold devices that are used to game. Consoles have more memory and data and storage space than a mobile device and arcade machine but less than a PC. An advantage to using an console is that you can have hours of entertainment and can use many different games on it including movies films and even blueray. Consoles have high resolution they can run 1080P which is very high quality however, it is not as good as PC as they can now run at 4K which is the best quality possible. 

PC

The first ever computer was made in 1936 by a guy called Alan Turing, he used it to crack the code the Germans were using and it helped to win the war.

The PC is not an standalone console as you have to buy a mouse, monitor and many other things to help you game and use them however, you don't have to buy them you can use the computer without them but it means it is a lot harder to do. The differences between computers and the other devices is that the PC has a lot more storage than the other devices and you have much higher specs also you can use discs whereas arcade machines and mobiles cannot. One disadvantage for PC is that it is not portable and if you were to move it then it would take a long time to do and is harder than other devices.

Mobile

A mobile is an mobile device which can be used to play games and text and call people using different applications. The first ever mobile phone was made in 1972 by Motorola it was made by someone who is now known as the "father of cellphones".   The main advantage of having a phone is that it is portable and easy to transport whereas none of the above are but this comes at a flaw of storage space and the size of the screen. Another problem with mobile phones is that you have to charge them unlike consoles, this means that you cannot use it for a long time straight unlike consoles.

Difference Summary 

The arcade machines have the worst memory as the only memory it has is for the game meaning it can only play one game after that the phone has the worst memory as it only has around 12 GB which is hardly anything compared to the above devices. The next best memory is the console as that has more than phones as it can have up to 2 TB which is a lot and finally the best for memory and storage is the PC as you can mod and upgrade the PC to get more space and get better specs. The biggest difference between all of them is the size as they all come in different shapes and sizes and portability.
