Report:
Networking was possible, especially on the Xbox and the Wii, but we did not participate in networking while playing our console games.
The mobile system was quick, easy, and portable, unlike the online and console games.
Wii Sports was the most active gaming experience, unlike other games, particularly online and mobile gaming. Puzzle and entertainment games are enjoyable for when you’re either bored or seeking a good brain teaser. Mobile games are the most accessible and convenient to use because you can play them in class, on the go, etc. Whereas online and console games require being stationary.
