What's The Best Video Games Console?

Video game consoles have come a long way in the past few years

. The days of tapping a few buttons on a remote are over. Today's consoles are high tech media devices that allow gamers to interact with friends, download games and content and manoeuvre avatars with the flick of a wrist. Not all game consoles are created equal. Here's a look at the best video game consoles on the market today.

PlayStation 3 is a great choice for serious gamers. The system offers a high definition gaming experience, which makes the graphics really pop on the television. The controls are intuitive and closely mimic the control system of the PlayStation 2 and Sony PSP. Each PlayStation comes with a built-in DVD player, so the system can be used to watch movies as well as to play video games. There are a variety of add ons available for the PlayStation 3, including the PlayStation Network, which provides live multi player gaming and the PlayStation Move, a motion sensor controller that allows you to play without a wired remote. The new PlayStation 3 Slim offers a lower price point, slimmer console, lower energy use, Blu-Ray DVD player and quieter operation.

Serious gamers also enjoy the Microsoft XBOX 360 console. Just like the PlayStation, XBOX features high-definition graphics, DVD playback and an intuitive handheld remote. The XBOX Live service allows users to play against each other online and to download additional content such as game demos and TV shows. Recently, Microsoft released the XBOX 360 Slim, which contains a quieter hard drive and sleeker design. There are several XBOX 360 accessories on the market. The newest accessory is the Kinect, which allows gamers to play via a motion control camera without using a remote.

The current winner in the console war is the Nintendo Wii. Nintendo Wii has sold more consoles than the PlayStation 3 or XBOX 360 and has opened gaming to a new generation of more casual gamers. The Wii features a motion-controlled handheld remote that allows gamers to control the screen with a combination of buttons and hand movements. Although the graphics on the Wii are not as strong as the PlayStation or XBOX and the Wii does not come with DVD playback, many gamers find that the motion-controlled game play makes the console well worth the investment.

Ultimately, each consumer must choose the console that best fits his or her gaming habits. Serious gamers tend to choose the PlayStation or XBOX, while casual gamers tend to pick the Wii, but there are many exceptions to this rule. Although the consoles differ slightly, advancements in technology have greatly improved the gaming experience on all console systems.
