Gaming Revolution

Gaming (online/offline) is no doubt a high growth sector, prime reason is the rising stress in our daily

lives. Everyone is looking for stress relievers and with the advancement in technology; gaming consoles are one of the answers. Another reason is the target demographics has also widened, today even elderly people can have a tennis game inside their living rooms and still sweat and feel refreshed.

Although market is flooded with lot of gaming consoles, the two hottest ones in existence are Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3. You can also add Microsoft X-Box to that list as it is still not there at that level of user experience…Nintendo Wii is definitely cheaper with the basic set-up costs about £180 whereas for PS3 you will have to dig deep and spend £50 more. Both use distinct technologies, although it seems Sony with its blu-ray technology is out-powering the Wii, also PS3’s support for SD and Compact Flash cards gives it additional edge on graphics as-well. (See attached image..our lounge room stacked with PS3) . Nintendo loyalists still argue that difference between them is slim…

PS3 has the more features than Wii for sure but surprisingly Wii has achieved higher sales than rest of the player and still remains the top seller among all gaming consoles. I think lot of people feel it is more value for money…whatever you buy I surely feel they do make a lot of difference to your stress levels. For most of the people who have hundred excuses to avoid exercising, having a good game on Wii or PS3 surely makes you feel relaxed.
