Having released in the US, Xbox was highly praised on numerous counts. Gradually the fame surrounded sans par. And Xbox was released in Australia, Europe as well as Japan. As per rivalry, Xbox was the first generation device of the console brand to have competed crucially against Sony’s PlayStation 2.
Next came Xbox 360. Not only as a successor, but Xbox 360 that released in 2005 proved to be one of the finest gaming consoles till date. In fact, 360 was the phenomenal success that was introduced by developers Microsoft. Even now many other consoles are judged by 360.
With the emerging popularity of the Xbox family, Microsoft unveiled Xbox One console in May 2013, but to very honest, the console was not up to fans’ expectations. Despite breaking down with its sales figures, Xbox’s fame was not gone astray. In fact, developers with a comeback unveiled a slimmer version of Xbox One console at E3 20016, under the name, Xbox One
Microsoft has been only been in this industry for fourteen years. They’ve only created three consoles so far, Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. Their huge success with the Xbox 360 put them at the forefront of the battle. Their newest console, the Xbox One, was announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 in March of 2013 and released later that year in November. They told the world how revolutionary their console was with all of its innovate features. The console, weighing in at 6.3 pounds, is a monster of a device with 5 vents on each side of the console, it runs almost silent and experiences almost no overheating problems. Looking like a retro, 1960’s VCR, many people believe it is an ugly piece of hardware. Personally, I like the design of the console. It is big and heavy which makes it feel like a sturdy piece of technology. Inside the beast is an 8 core 64x AMD processor which runs at1.75GHz and features a Direct X 11.1 graphics card running at 1.2 Teraflops. It also comes with 8 GBs of GDDR3 RAM and a 500 GB H...
Atari was the first commercial video game company with hits like ‘break out” and “pong”. For many people pong was the first video game they have ever played. The idea of pong is that there is two rectangles that only move up and down and a little square that bounces around the screen until one of the rectangles miss, once the rectangle miss’ the game is over. This game may seem simple now but it sold 19,000 units so you can say what you want but back then this was the greatest game ever.
In the near future, Xbox One will be incorporating the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality device that goes over the head and provides a first-person visual display and headphones for an immersive experience, into their features and gameplay.
The PS2 offers a reasonably powerful processor, about 297MHz (Megahertz). It may seem a little bit on the sluggish side compared to the processor of Xbox, about 733MHz, and to the GameCube processor, about 485MHz. If you ask me, I think that 733MHz is a little much for a gaming console, it’s just plain ridiculous. The PS2 has enough power to run high quality games. And with the planned decrease in cost for the PS2, you should be able to get one for lower than the normal price, $299, sometime in the near future. Microsoft cannot decrease their price for Xbox, $299, because they are already losing money selling systems, about $50 a system sold. So that tells you that the PS2 could match the price of GameCube, $199, before long.

The Microsoft Xbox has powerful components within that overpower any other console, including its CPU or it’s Central Processing Unit. The Xbox runs an Intel Pentium III 733-megahertz (MHz) processor. This is a lot more powerful than Nintendo Gamecube’s IBM Power PC 485-megahertz Gekko chip processor and even lower the Sony Playstation 2’s 128 bit “Emotion Engine” which is clocked around 294-megahertz. A few more components that make this console far superior to any other is its graphics processor, or GPU, which stands for Graphic Processing Unit. Microsoft had teamed up with Nvidia to create a chip that was made especially for the Xbox. The computer-based company ‘s 250-megahertz chip gives the console an amazing resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and 125 Million Polygons per Second. Sixty four- (64) megabytes (Mb) of DDRam back all this up, for great non-glitch games and smooth running. Nintendo also has a computer-based company teaming up with them to create the 162-megahertz ATI Flipper GPU Chip. This chip can only handle around 6-12 Million polygons a second and is only backed up by 43-megabytes of DDRam.
The Magnavox Odyssey (created by Ralph Baer) has been debated to be the first video game and console. Atari, which came out 2 years after the Odyssey, Senger Emily states “ In the 1977 with the launch of Atari 2600 video game console. Atari dominated the home-market through the 70’s and 80’s.” Atari is the first big game company to emerge in U.S soil and dominated the game market.

With the arrival of Atari’s 2600 video game console they released Pong ,similar to Odyssey’s paddle and ball game, a new game that sold better than their rival, Odyssey. “Atari's position as the top video-game console brand dipped in the early '80s, when competitors flooded the market and quality across the industry waned leading to the video game crash of 1983”which Senger Emily claim to be Atari’s downfall. Due to their problems after the video game crash, “1992, Atari's share of the North American video-game market had shrunk to just 12%.”(Senger) Atari switched CEO to tramiel in 1989 , which never kept the company afloat.

Microsoft has a lot to gain from outsourcing the Xbox production to Flextronics. Microsoft’s core competency is producing software, not hardware. So by the Law of Comparative Advantage, it is best for Microsoft to let someone, who is good at producing hardware, produce the Xbox. Flextronics not only offers their expertise in hardware, but also their network of connections worldwide which reduces production costs, thus making the market value of Xbox lower and more affordable. Because of Microsoft’s web-based information system, they are able to share information with Flextro...
