My Gaming Machines - Then and Now

Sega's Dreamcast

Released in Japan in 1998 and 1999 in Europe it was the first of the sixth generation of consoles and marked the end Sega's Console market. The console wasn't as successful as expected however large titles made it to the system such as Soul calibre, Unreal Tournament and Quake.

Specs:

- CPU Hitachi SH-4 bit RISC
- Memory 16 MB Ram, 8 MB video RAM, 2MB audio RAM
- Graphics NEC CLX2 Processor

On a personal level I will always admire the console especially since it had solid 3D capability's. The console was a great platform for FPS games, and paved the way for modern shooters.

Microsoft's Xbox One

An eighth generation console, it was announced in 2013 and was the successor to the high grossing Xbox 360. It was a direct competitor to Sony's PlayStation 4 which had gained a lot of support. Several games where announced to release alongside the Xbox One including Dead Rising 3 Forza 5 and Shadow of Mordor. The console was very successful but couldn't quite keep up with Sony's PlayStation sales. Recently the console has been revamped with newer editions like the Xbox One s and the Xbox One X, which hare noticeably better than the Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro. 

Specs:

- CPU 8 Core AMD
- Memory 8GB DDR3
- Storage 500 GB
