New Consoles Expand Options for Online Game Players

Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Revolution - more powerful than PCs, more versatile than your living-room stereo system, better able to communicate than your phone and your PC combined, etc., etc…

Regardless of technological advances, all three console makers clearly want this next generation of consoles to attract many, many more people to play games. And, at the end of the day, that’s why you’ll buy one, writes IndyStar’s Heather Newman:

Yes, if you game, you’ll buy a new console sometime in the next year or so — even if they’re expensive. They’re that good. Which one you buy, however, depends on what you and your family consider to be most important about playing games. All of them are technological leaps ahead of the boxes you might have now in your living room.
