Which One???.
Since the 1990's people have been enjoying the interactive challenge of video games. Nintendo has been around almost since the beginning with the original Nintendo system and the Game Boy. Years later followed the Sega System and PlayStation. Recently Sony and Nintendo have both announced the development of totally new and "revolutionary" systems.
Nintendo has announced the release of the Nintendo Game Cube ( aka. The Dolphin ). The Game Cube is a "highly" advanced system that is "the ultimate TV game machine and the first of its kind". The Game Cube features an IBM Power PC Gekko Micro processor unit, 1T-Ram Technology and the LSI Mixed Memory. This compact system is about 15% smaller then the N64 and features accessories like the cordless controller, the Modem adapter, the Digi Card, SD- Digi card and the Broadband adapter. The cartridges have also changed to discs, allowing for better graphics, sounds and game play. .
Sony has also announced the development of the PlayStation2. The PS2 is designed to bring together movies, music and games to form a new form of computer entertainment. The PS2 supports both audio CD and DVD along with old PS games. " PS2 is charting a path toward the future of networked digital entertainment" says President Ken Kutaragi of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. As for games, over 89 publishers have signed licence agreements to develop content for PS2. A new accessory to go with PS2 is the Dual Shock 2 controller which features transfer rate up to 250 times faster. The PS2 is going to be available in Fall 2000.
So as the release dates come closer, people are anticipating the release of these platforms to finally find out what is the ultimate gaming platform. If you would like to read more on the Game Cube go to www.nintendo.com and if you would like to read more on the PlayStation2 go to www.playstation.
