PlayStation and Xbox are game consoles that we grew up with. I still remember the first PS2 and the original Xbox. The release of the PlayStation 4 in North America, is seen by many as the true dawn for next-generation console gaming after the troubled launch of Nintendo’s Wii U. After a week Microsoft fires back with the launch of Xbox one. Right now at this point people are probably struggling to choose one to purchase. The gaming market had always been a huge competitive market out there. For example the Xbox one will be 100$ more expensive, but includes a more advanced body-movement sensor in the Kinect; better voice recognition; and a more ambitious bid to take charge of your living room thanks to its ability to control satellite and cable TV set top boxes. For people like me it will be hard decision to choose from. The releases come at a critical time for both firms. Sony recently slashed its full year profit forecast by 40%, surprising investors. Chief executive Kaz Hirai would like the PS4 to mirror the healthy sales of its smartphones, rather than its struggling TV unit. Right now not only children even adults adore playing video games, the video game market will always be a critical part of our lives.
