About Packaged Console Games

A video game is an electronic game that comprises a display device and platform. It works like an interactive computer with a user interface to generate the video display signal. Among the various types of video games available in the market, console and handheld games are the most popular among consumers. They are played on a device called a video game console, which is a specialized computer designed for interactive video gameplay and display. A video game console functions like a PC and is built with the same components such as a central processing unit, graphics processing unit, and random access memory. The consumer plays the game by using a controller such as a hand-held device with buttons, joysticks, or keypads. The video and sound output is delivered through a TV or a similar audiovisual system. The display, speakers, console, and controls of the console can also be incorporated into a compact object known as a handheld gaming console. The games played through the consoles come in disk format or can be downloaded or accessed directly through the console in digital format. The physical disk format of the game is known as a packaged console game.
