After a long time of browsing , i found out many interesting views in gaming sector.Now gaming is one of the topmost buiseness region which completely depends upon creativity.And an interesting thing is that though the world is xperiencing the ecnomical crysis, gaming sector draws no losses i mean negligible compared to many sectors(textiles etc,)
Today gaming consoles are playing a major roles. In which we can experirence complete gaming strategy through online. And devolpment of this gaming consoles are done by mainly companies like NINTENDO,SONY,MICROSOFT.lets jump in to thier detailed study
the first video game console by Magnavox Odyssey(may24,1972).and the only game in it is Atari's pong(monochrome).And next devolpment is made by NINTENDO in japan and they are sold out in markets around 1985 and 1986.This product made gaming industry revolutionised with its incredible games like Mario Bros, Lengends of Zelda. By the time passes PC came in to action and proves that it is best platform then and it made NES(nitendo) and Atari got finished line.And the next product released by SEGA Genesis against PC a 16 bit console(advanced 2D graphics processors) in 1989 and eventually NES followed the same path by releasing SNES a 16 bit console
In 1995, NES introduced fisrt handheld gaming console of 32 and 64 bit(3D) as nintendo N64. Then SONY entered in to gaming sector by realsing its PLATSTATION(PS).This succeded in the market beause of using CD's instead of catridges which is more reliabe for piracy.At the same time nintendo upped the GAMEBOY colour and DREAMCAST by SEGA(dis product faced utmost failure) which beats its entire submission.Nintendo's loss in last gaming battle(not in handheld) due to catridges it released its first disk based console caled GAMECUBE.But i couldnt compete with the Sony's playstation 2 relased in 2000.PS2 had got a good collection in market by its extended graphics and it was used by over 132 millions so far.
The next year microsoft throw its hat in to the ring by releasing XBOX enhanced with intel pentium III processor. And the playstation portable(PSP) is finally launched in 2004, and nintendo also released its DS after a month.
But now a philosophical shift would continue in the next generation game consoles that the three gaints oh gaming industry come out with:PS3, XBOX360,NINTENDO Wii
PS3: It stands on a awesome processor that is custom built for it dubbed CellProcessor which is just in a size of finger nail,made by IBM, which is two generation ahead of PC at that time of release.Cell processor is 3.2 ghz clocked 8core with 256x8 Kb. It is even used by scientists for their super computers.Including a 512MB video memory of 7800GT (ofcourse,its not a good graphic analyzer but processor took up all the responsibilities).A real theatre expeience by its BLURAY DVDROM.harddisk enabled. But in 2.0 bluetooth,WiFii with a multiple card adapter and it cus be used as a full fledged PC by OS named YELLOWDOG LINUX.
XBOX360:This enhanced with a IBM's XENON cell processor with 3cores of 3.2Ghz having 32x3 KB cache.unlike sony's Nvidea, microsoft had gone for ATI.this makes GPU,a less power hungry with 10MB embedded RAM.contains DVDROM but it is going release with BDROM in this year.Hard disks capable. Contains 512 mb video graphic memory.Goes foe XBOX360 LIVE.
NINTENDO wii: Nintendo introduced the new wii (sep 14,2006) depends upon the motion of controller unlike the ps3 and xbox360(as these contains only joysticks).Due ti this we can xperience gaming world as we are in that world.Suits best foe children.But gaming processors are not at such a xtent but games run at 243MHZ where as ps3 and xbox run at 233Mhz.It has nunchuck gaming controller.Enhanced with 324+64 mb graphical memory.
did u guys know why the most of the games are released first in consoles and then next to pc? Because a full or complete gaming experience can be found these consoles online,Which needed a internet to play so that no piracy can give such experience as they dont have registered keys.
FUTURE GAMING?
xbox is planning for body motion tracking consoles, i.e, which tracks body motion and synchronise with the game character.This would be hard for some belly gamers.
sterioscopic 3d games: recently, Nvidea released its sterioscpic 3D technology which requires a highend GPU support.
Brain-computer interface:which need to have just a cap over head to control the game character.This made gaming easy so it would be a challenge for gaming companies to design games.
