Abstract
Gaming consoles are among the most popular consumer devices and their popularity is growing rapidly because of higher processing power and a larger number of available games. Gaming consoles deliver electronic game-based entertainment. They feature proprietary hardware designs and software operating environments. A typical gaming console is made up of several key blocks that include a CPU, graphics processor, memory, storage mediums, and Internet connectivity. It includes a significant base of removable, first and/or third party software libraries. They can also provide Internet and email access. Gaming consoles are platform independent from PCs, video-game consoles, and NetTVs. They are also media independent from Internet, cable television, and direct broadcast satellite (DBS). They rely on AC power for their primary energy source and they must typically be plugged into an external video display such as a television. On the other hand, handheld gaming devices are designed for mobile household use. They rely on DC (battery) power and they include an embedded video display such as a LCD. Examples of popular gaming consoles include the Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation2, and Microsoft Xbox.
