OUYA, GamePop, Project Shield, M.O.J.O., PS4, Xbox One, Wii … what do all these consoles have in common? The past. To better understand the universe of these super powerful machines available today and capable of processing NASA's asteroid tracking data, I need to go back in time and see that for us to have the small box that OUYA needed, a computer that took up half a living room. I spent an afternoon at Computerspielemuseumin Berlin, and I could see that we are moving towards smaller and more powerful consoles.

The interesting thing about being in a place like this is that you can understand how much we have evolved in technological terms, because a giant machine like Nimrod – the first computer exclusively designed to run games – has been compressed and improved, so we can now have a game today. as the Real Racing 3 or Dead trigger running, well, on a mobile device.
