A hand held gamind device is like a DS or a game boy. Larger game consoles ncludes consoles like the xbox 360 or the Nintendeo Wii. The one big difference is the size because, you can hold DS' in your hands but you can't hold say an Xbox, you have to have a plug socket and a TV. Also you can easily have a hand held console in your pocket whereas you can't have a larger games console in you pocket.

Why would the Oculus Rift change the world of computer games?

Oculus Rift is very much different to other game consoles because firstly you put it on your head instead of in your hands. Secondly all of your sight is blocked out so you have to look at what you're seeing in the little screen. Thirdly you have sound cancellation headphones on you so you can only hear the game and nothing else. This particual console will change the world because it is the only console where you are actually part of the game and you are in the gane too.
