Microsoft XBOX series
As I said above Sony got lots of popularity by their play station gaming console. So by seeing this, the biggest and famous company Microsoft has also decided to come in this gaming field and they have started making their own series with the name of XBOX. In the starting it wasn’t able to gain that much success in compare of play station, but now they are doing as well as Sony or may be even more.
Xbox: Xbox was the first version from the Microsoft in this series. They have launched this version against the Sony’s play-station 2 version which was already too famous. So they don’t able to make that much popularity with this gaming console. It was having all those 3D gaming experience similar to play station, but may be they are missing something unique. But they have not lost hope and went for another XBOX version XBOX 360.
XBOX 360: Microsoft has launched another gaming console in XBOX series with name XBOX 360 in around 2005. This time they got it right, and this version become the successor of the XBOX series. At here they given really cool gaming graphics with wireless joy sticks same as Play station 3 but before play station 3.

They able to sold record breaking gaming console with this series.
XBOX one: After getting huge success from XBOX 360, Microsoft has recently launched their new gaming console XBOX one in this year 2013. I don’t know about more features regarding this gaming console. But as far as I have heard it can beat all previous gaming consoles in graphics and many other features. The unique thing I found in this gaming console is it multi tasking. As far as I have heard, this gaming console will come with windows 8 operating system with few upgrading. Because of this operating system user can also operate few apps like Skype. So with this new gaming console user can play videos, play games and operate apps together which is making it quite unique. I am sure Microsoft has high hopes from this new gaming console. Sony may also launch their new play station 4 on anytime so it will be nice competition between these two big gaming gadgets.
So this is it for XBOX series. Their recent launch XBOX one is big and latest news in gaming world. Let’s see if it can keep up with Microsoft’s hopes.
Nintendo Gaming
I don’t think anyone can forget about this company. Just like everyone I have started playing with games with Nintendo gaming console. I still remember those 8-bit games which was very interesting and entertaining. Honestly I still enjoy those old games when I get free time. But just like others Nintendo also launched different gaming device to maintain their popularity in gaming world. And they have done well to by giving really strong competition to each and every company. Let’s see how this company has progressed with different gaming consoles.
Color TV Game: Nintendo Company had introduced color tv games with this device. They have started their gaming world with few very simple games like Block Breaker. But with this they have established their gaming world and they never seen back after this.
Nintendo 64: I don’t think anyone hasn’t tried out gaming with this gaming console. In fact this was my first gaming console too with it I had many good memories related to my gaming experience. This device had given few very popular games like Super Mario. I don’t think I need to give any information regarding such games. In very short time they were able to sold millions of this gaming console worldwide. With this gaming they started joystick gaming and caste for different games which become really popular. They have developed this gaming console around 1996 and in that time it gain lots of popularity.
Game Cube: This gaming console introduced in around 2001. With this Nintendo has given their first optical disc gaming at house level. This gaming console was using mini DVD to play different games. Nintendo was good with Nintendo 64 gaming console. But now play station 2 and xbox have taken place with advanced gaming experience. So to give competition to these two companies Nintendo have launched this Game Cube gaming console. But it wasn’t able to give that much competition to other two companies. So Nintendo have to think even further than this. Let’s see what was their next plan with next gaming console?
Wii: In 2006 Nintendo came with great gaming console to give competition to Xbox 360 and Play station 3. Now competition was even hard in compare of before, but this time Nintendo was well prepared. They have introduced Wii gaming console this time which was having many advanced technology features in it which can surely give hard competition to any gaming consoles. Nintendo have introduced wireless controllers with sensors which can catch user’s movement and respond as per it in three dimensions. They have also introduced WiiConnect using which it was able to get messages and air-updates directly to the device which was another attractive feature offered by Nintendo. Because of its good success Nintendo don’t able to stop launching next version of this gaming console. Here is the information for the next version.
Wii U: Because of good success get from Wii, Nintendo launched another Wii version named Wii U in the year 2012. With this gaming console Nintendo give many improved features and hardware over Wii gaming console. They have given their first gaming console which can produce High Definition Graphics with video output up to 1080p which is really cool thing. They have also given 2GB of RAM to have really fast gaming experience with high end games. It was released with two models, one is with 8GB flash size and second one is with 32 GB of flash memory. The main attraction of this gaming console is its game pad. It is the first gaming controller which came with touch screen display which can help user to play games easily when it was connected to TV, but with this it can also display game on that screen when TV is not available. So it is great feature and improvement over old Wii gaming console.
So this is it. I have explained about three famous gaming companies which have changed lot by years. They have started with simple gaming console but now each of them having super gaming console which are so much popular worldwide.
