Development Of Games

I have been asked to do a project which is 1500 words maximum where i have to study about how games consoles have developed since the first one that was made and how its changed so much in terms of graphics, the amount of people that play games now and all other things. also i have to discuss the specs of consoles and what limits them for instance a handheld console is run on battery so it has its limitations and also isn't as graphically enhanced as the Xbox 360 or other consoles.

I have a 2 week deadline to complete this work which is next week.

I must use my referencing log sheet to get the hang of it and to remember to use it for every piece of work i do because you have to reference everything in university.
