PlayStation 3 has
introduced perhaps the
most powerful processor
in the history of gaming
with their Cell
Broadband Engine that
will allow for awesome
game play to jump start
this edition of the
PlayStation Empire.
Nintendo Wii has a very
good “PowerPC” that they
have nicknamed
“Broadway” that will
allow for a good gaming
experience. Nintendo
stepped out and
solicited the help of
IBM for the production
of the Wii processor,
meaning that they are
seriously looking to
re-enter the video game
wars.
One
feature of both the
Nintendo Wii and the
PlayStation 3 that will
both impress and excite
gamers is the fact that
both are backwards
compatible, meaning that
you don’t have to throw
away your favorite games
from the previous
console. PlayStation 3
owners will be able to
play games from both the
previous PlayStation
consoles, while Nintendo
Wii owners will be able
to play Nintendo Game
Cube games whenever they
want.
Both
consoles are “always on”
which means that any
communication needed to
get updates or make
changes to your system
will happen without you
worrying about being
logged on or retrieving
important codes. Both
use wireless router
technology and are able
to connect whether you
are at home or even
logged on.
Perhaps
the most exciting aspect
of each console is the
advent of new controller
technology in both the
PlayStation 3 and the
Nintendo Wii. The Wii
will introduce a long
and skinny remote that
has motion sensors to
pick up your movements
and use them within the
game. PlayStation 3
will be introducing the
same type of technology
to allow a more real and
sophisticated experience
for every user.
