remote. The remote is connected wirelessly via Bluetooth. An optional
remote jacket is provided to prevent accidental falling and breaking of
the remote. A Nunchuk unit, replete with two trigger buttons is an
additional feature of Wii.
The Wii menu provides six main channels and other additional channels
can be downloaded via the internet. The Wii is compatible with all its
other predecessors. The Wii has been showered with many technological
awards for its breakthrough efforts in gaming consoles.
Xbox 360
Microsoft came up with Xbox 360 to add variety to the already exciting
range of video game consoles. Three different options are available as
far as the Xbox 360 consoles are concerned. They are `Arcade`,
`Premium` and `Elite`. The three variants are very different in
configuration, games and also price.
The Xbox 360 integrates chatting and exercises with its gaming console
to provide additional interest. Users can display pictures and play
music while playing games on the console. Xbox 360 provides several
online features on Xbox Live which enable the user to access a variety
of other games. In fact, one of the major attractions of Xbox 360 is
the number of games available. About 1000 games are available in Xbox
360.
PlayStation 3
The PS3 is a home video game console by Sony. It is also a seventh
generation video game console like Wii and Xbox 360. Online download of
games and various other forms of interaction is achieved through
PlayStation Network. A multitude of accessories can be wired into PS3
which include camera and remote. Photographs can be viewed; and music
and movies played with ease. High-definition graphics are the major
attraction in PS3.
PlayStation 3 also provides a wireless controller charged with a USB
cable. Due to difficulties in manufacturing the Blu-ray format,
production of the 20, 40 and 60 GB PS3s have been discontinued. High
price is serving as a deterrent for PS3`s sales.
