Lastly, let's have a look at the Xbox...yes, Mr. Bill Gates is dabbling into the video game console territory also. Anyway, the Xbox360 and the PS3 have been rivals for a while boasting much of the same capabilities and features. The newest addition to the competition is the wii.

...pts and marry them with an interactive gaming experience. When playing tennis on Wii Games you do not push a joystick to swing the racket, you swing your arm while holding the Wii controller, known officially as the Wiimote. The same goes for all the other games that are designed for the Nintendo Wii consoles. However, part of the appeal of the Nintendo Wii consoles is that they are not designed solely for Nintendo Wii games. In fact, they are fully compatible with games for the Nintendo GameCube as well.

Another impressive element of the Nintendo Wii consoles is that they also have th...more
