Everything and Anything

As console gaming systems have become more advance, so too has the technology that supports the games.  In the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Atari 2600, you would never have found gaming consoles with detachable hard drives, remotes, keyboards, and headset accessories.  But gaming consoles are becoming more and more like personal computers.  In fact, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is essentially just a high end gaming computer.  The Xbox 360 can play games, but it can also go online and download music and movies, store music and movies, and be used as a media player.  There are dozens of video game accessories compatible with the Xbox 360, so much to the extent that the whole process of purchasing them more just feels like upgrading your computer. 

Microsoft has surely created a gaming console that is capable of a diverse amount of functions, while the other leading console, Nintendo Wii, is noted for its games but not its additional features.
