They are everywhere, creeping into our lounges and taking over our children.  How can you not enjoy it?  For forty years we have been able to play video games in the comfort of our living rooms.  Gaming systems have come a long way since their beginning and continue to evolve. Who would have thought when the first video games first came out they would later come out with the Wii Motion Plus, or the kinect and start revolutionizing the world of video games and transforming your ordinary yet enjoyable video game into a somewhat extraordinarily exciting novel way to combat the world of cellulite?
Companies are trying very hard to keep their niche in the market and possible become the dominant company.  They have come up with newer versions of their platforms.  The newer versions always seem more powerful.  They have succeeded in both capturing the attention and somewhat obsession of the eager consumer.

Since their emergence onto the market, there has been a burst of improvement from Nintendo, while introducing their Wii Remote and later in 2008 the Wii Motion Plus, featuring the accelerometer, and sensor bar that actually enables ones actions to be identically experienced on the screen as in real time, and now with the upcoming xbox 360 kinect, Microsoft is promising a game platform that does not need the remote and , Sony has shifted their focus toward the Play Station Move, where your every movement is mimicked in blue-ray powered high definition.  As soon as one platform is released, someone is wondering what will the new one look like.  Manufacturers continually find new things to add to the platforms to amaze the gaming enthusiasts.
The platforms are only half the battle.  Game titles are becoming more elaborate.  Plenty of genres are available.  It is possible to find an age appropriate game for anyone.  It does not matter what interests someone has, they can find a title that is interesting.  And the quality of the graphics is getting better too.
Though there is a financial crisis looming within every home, and although the xbox 360 kinect price might shock some people, it seems that there is still great demand for sales and improvement and there is reportedly extreme financial pressure on companies when creating and researching into the improvement of the motion based game controller.   There is still a lot of choices out there despite the tougher economic times.  Different games seem to arrive in the stores everyday.  The games are not cheap.  It is not a cheap gift for someone to give to their children for birthdays anymore.  What video game system you buy can be affected by the price of the games that are played on it.
The gaming platforms can now do many things.  Some are capable of playing blu-ray discs.  Buying these platforms means a person needs one less thing in their home.  Take this into the consideration of how much a platform costs.
Video games and their platforms are not going anywhere.  They have become a permanent part of a person’s home.  The platforms will continue to evolve.  It will cause people to buy new systems continually.  How long you stick with the system is up to you.  The next generation of machines is not far behind.  Long lines at electronic stores will greet the next new platform.  The desire of the consumer never seems to be quenched.
