| 1 | 2005 | 3600 | Each of the major game console rivals introduced high-performance game boxes, holding press events on the eve of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Nintendo unveiled the Revolution console and announced that it would debut a new portable game player in the fall – the Game Boy Micro. Nintendo has a 95% share of the portable gaming market. Each company promoted the "backward compatibility" of their consoles, which means that they can play games from current systems. In addition, each had enhanced online features, wireless controls, support for high-definition TV sets and the need to attract more casual gamers. Nintendo's console will allow access to 20 year's worth of Nintendo games. Sony's PlayStation 3 will play Bluray Disc Media, one of the high-definition successors to the DVD. The XBox 360 from Microsoft will double as a progressive-scan DVD player. To expand the $25 billion worldwide market, the companies must attract more families and casual adult gamers, expanding beyond its core demographic of 18-34-year-old men. |
