The era of video games is changing by leaps and bounds. The new generation of consoles past, the one that brought the famous Wii, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, did not make it clear what improvements could come after the three great machines that were put on sale. The truth is that since then, we have seen few new things, all related to motion detection or 3D. But it seems that the advance in video games will not go there, but will be led by tablets. GameStop bet on them, and will sell tablets Android in its more than 1600 stores around the world.
All the portability, the fact that users can play the same game from different rooms, or that they simply do not have to be looking at the same screen, is one of the points in favor of tablets. The possibility of playing with people from other parts of the world over the Internet, something that is already possible and common on desktop consoles, is the natural environment for gamers using tablets. The touch capabilities of the screens of these are also one of the features that most promises in terms of control in video games, something that was dreamed of years ago.
El device price it is also much more attractive. Although it is true that many tablets are more expensive than certain video consoles, it is also true that we not only pay for a gaming device, but also for a multimedia, work, productive tool, etc. But in addition to that, there is the app price. While a console video game can reach 60-70 euros without any difficulty, it is rare to see games on tablets that exceed 10 euros.
For all this, it is not strange that the world of video games is changing a lot in just a few years. GameStop, the famous chain of game stores, sees it clearly, and has opted to include tablets in its catalog of gaming devices. A Asus Transformer, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB, and a Acer Iconia seven-inch, are the three tablets that can be purchased in any of the more than 1600 stores that are spread around the world, hundreds of them in Spain.
In addition, all these tablets will have some games and applications pre-installed, among which we find the well-known Sonic CD, and Riptide GP. All this without forgetting the application Kongregate Arcade, which will allow us to connect to the most widespread video game social network in the world.
