Video Game Systems
Video game system or video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or electronic device that manipulates the video display signal of a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a game. The term video game console is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer, which has many other functions, or arcade games, which are designed for businesses that buy and then charge others to play.
A video game system is a highly specialized computer. In fact, most systems are based on the same central processing units (CPUs) used in many desktop computers. To keep the cost of the video game system within reasonable limits, most manufacturers use a CPU that has been widely available for long enough to undergo a significant decrease in cost - Video Games Systems

Nintendo latest innovation is not a bigger, faster processor. Nintendo's latest foray into the handheld market, a market it practically owns thanks to the legendary Game Boy -- is the DS. "DS" stands for either "dual screen" or "developers' system," depending on which way the wind's blowing, and it's a cross between two Game Boys and a PDA, with a cell phone's messaging function thrown in for good measure. And the DS's new sidekick, DS Lite, has all the handheld glory of the DS plus brighter screens and a smaller, lighter, easier-to-pocket package.
So what's the big deal with the little Nintendo DS? On the surface, it's just a larger, two-screened Game Boy. However, with its laundry list of handheld firsts, a multitude of possibilities are now open to game developers - Nintendo DS |
Play Station has been the dominant video game system.
The PS3 is, quite possibly, the biggest console gaming system ever. At twice the size—and price—of its predecessor, the PS3 makes Sony's lofty ambitions pretty clear: This is much more than a gaming system. Sure, playing games is still the primary function—and drifting around corners in Ridge Racer 7 at 1080p is heart-stopping—but this system is clearly designed to do more than that. From replacing your DVD player to enabling you to view pictures, play music, and watch YouTube videos on your TV easily, this is a set top box for the next generation - Play Station 3
