Which Console for You?

A gaming system for my library/institution:

  • How would you research? First, depending on my goals, I would ask my user group what systems they use. I would also ask them questions about what they look for in a system. Online research is essential in the process as well. 
  • What would your criteria be? Questions I would ask. How popular is the system? What and how many games are available? How new is the system? and again Is it appropriate for my user group? 
  • Which do you think you would get? I would probably get a Wii as it would encourage group play or communal play which I don't feel people get enough of these days. Also it improves motor skills such as referenced in this Engadget post. 
So in short, I would ask lots of user-centered questions and use the answers to in-turn make my decision regarding a gaming system for my institution.
