Microsoft Xbox 360 Game Console
The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's second version of the Xbox. Outside companies like IBM, ATI, and Sis, helped in the construction of the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 is different, and significant, because users can download content like old-fashioned games, demos, movie trailers, TV shows, and full-feature movies. The Xbox 360 came after the Xbox, and, thus, it competes with Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, and other seventh generation consoles.
Sony PSP Game Console
The Sony PSP is an
abbreviation of PlayStation Portable. It’s a handheld game console. It was
unveiled in 2004 slightly before the E3 conference. It was released in 2005 in
North America and 2004 in Japan. It has widespread connectivity to other
devices and systems like the PlayStation 3, other PlayStation Portables, and
Internet.
Nintendo Wii Game Console
The Nintendo Wii is the fifth home video game console marketed and released by Nintendo. It’s pronounced like the pronoun, we. It follows the Nintendo GameCube. Nintendo assessed the market and said that the Nintendo Wii targeted a broader group of people than Microsoft’s Xbox 360 or Sony’s PlayStation line-up. It’s a direct competitor with both consoles in the seventh generation of video game console designs. Its most distinguishing feature is its wireless controller, called the Wii Remote. It has motion-sensing technology that can detect pointer movements in three dimensions. It can also receive messages and maintenance updates over the Internet when it’s in an inactive mode setting, standby mode. It does this through WiiConnect24.
Sony PS3 Game Console
The
Playstation 3, or PS3, is the third iteration of the Playstation. It follows
the Playstation 2. It directly competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and
Nintendo's Wii, alongside other seventh generation video game consoles. The
distinguishing marks of the Playstation 3, outside of its predecessors, are the
cohesive online gaming area, the Playstation Network. Formerly, Sony relied on
developers for online play. It has bold multimedia capabilities, connectivity
and cooperation with the Playstation Portable and it uses Blu-ray Disc for its
main storage medium. The PS3 was the first Blu-ray 2.0 player on the market. It
was released in late 2006. It stands in third place in seventh generation
consoles in its market.
Sony PS2 Game Console
The
Playstation 2 is a sixth generation video game console. It was preceded by the
Playstation and followed by the Playstation 3. Sales of the Playstation 3 were
just palpable compared to the first 2 version releases. PS2 is the highest
selling console of all time. It has sold 140 million units as of mid-2008. The
Playstation's success was a major factor in attracting market share for the
PS2. Ironically, delays in manufacturing made it nearly impossible to find a
PS2 during the first year. Retailers' stores were barren, and the only way to
get one was to go onto online auction sites like eBay and pay double, triple,
or even quadruple the retail price offer.
