My Gaming Machines Then & Now

My first gaming machine was the PS1 and my current gaming machine is the PS4. On my current console the games are stored on a blu-ray disc where as on PS1 they were on CD's which had a lot less storage, you also had to plug in the controllers in the sockets but now they are wireless. The PS1 was released on December 3 1994 and the PS4 was released on November 15 2013. I like them because the PS1 is my first console and introduced me to the gaming industry while the PS4 is an amazing console that I love with the graphics and overall game play experience. The negatives of these game consoles is that they are very expensive and can be broken or damaged easily. My favourite game on the PS1 was Miracle Space Race and that was really the only game I played on it. On the PS4 my favourite game is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim but I like to play a lot of other genres of games. This is the hardware specs of the PS1:
CPU - 32-bit MIPS (33mhz)
GPU - 32-bit R800A (33mhz)
System RAM - 2mb
Video RAM - 1mb
Resolution - 640x480 (SD)
Media - CD-ROM

This is the hardware specs of the PS4:
CPU - Quad-core 'Steamroller' (3ghz)
GPU - AMD HD 7670 (1ghz) - assisted by A10 APU (CPU/GPU companion processor)
System RAM - 8gb
Video RAM - 1gb
Resolution - 1080p/3D/60fps, 4K
Media - 50gb BD
