Console-based video gaming is one of the most popular of modern digital technologies, cutting across age, demographic and gender divides. Today’s players have three dominant platforms to choose from: Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 by Microsoft. Each is an impressive multifunctional device, with designs meant to encourage integration into existing home entertainment systems and networks, but each goes about this in different ways.
