The Big Three

In gaming there is something called the "big three". The big three refers to the three, next generation, consoles that are available today.

The big three includes :
Microsoft's Xbox 360 - released on Nov. 22, 2005


Sony's Playstation 3 - released on Nov. 11, 2006


Nintendo's Wii - released on Nov. 19, 2006


Each console offers people an extremely different gaming experience.

The Xbox 360 is more of a hardcore gamer console but it still can and does appeal to casual gamers. The hardcore gamers are attracted to the Xbox for the high profile games, like Halo 3, visit www.gamespot.com to find out more on Halo 3 and many other Xbox 360 titles. The casual gamers are attracted to the group games, or "party games" as gamers would call them, like Guitar Hero Legends of Rock or Uno, which you can play online using Xbox's, Xbox Live online feature.

The Playstation 3 is mainly considered, amongst gamers, to be solely a hardcore gamer console. Gamers expect excellent graphics, difficult but replayable games and big named titles like Metal Gear Solid 4. Playstation understands what hardcore gamers want and really does tap into that market but lacks what the Xbox and Wii have, which is good and unique party games.

The Nintendo Wii is considered by most to be a for everyone kind of console. That means that not just a hardcore gamer would use this console but it is easily adaptable for any type of gamer to just pick up and play. Also with its abundant selection of games there is bound to be something that appeals to just about everyone.
