5th generation consoles

the 5th Generation of consoles were consoles like : PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn. each one had very good sales and also were very different so people had their own personal favourite.

This is the PlayStation 1

playstations used CD:ROM which was a CD with all of the data that you placed into the disk tray and closed the lid and the disk rotates and the game plays. However the down part to this is that the data can be copied and sold for a lot cheaper so people are makeing profits from the game designers hard work.

This is the Nintendo 64

this console uses cartidges that are placed in the slot on the top. The upside to this is that people are unable to copy the data and sell it off to make a profit. aslo one of the better parts of this over the playstation is that you were able to plug in four controllers other than 2 like on the PS1.

This is the Sega Saturn :

the Sega Saturn was also one of the consoles that used the CD:ROM and as i have already said it was very risky as people could copy the data and sell it off, however this was also a very new development in technology so people were more than willing to buy the product. The sega saturn was another part of one of the 5th generation consoles and this was also a console that had very large sales and it's own games that were very attractive to gamers and thats what kept people coming.
