system it had always been a two-way
console race sony blu gamers away by
showcasing bigger games with better
cinematics and deeper content all thanks
to making CD technology standard this

gaming but lured in massive third-party

kids and adults churning out a
respectable 102 million units
number seven Nintendo 64 signaling a
massive leap in every way over the SNES
predecessor this stunning and innovative
system truly took gaming to the next
dimension
it also innovated with features that are
now standard including Rumble for player
local gaming and analog control though
this console has far less titles than
previous Nintendo consoles and only sold
33 million units worldwide it produced
some of the greatest games of all time
and defined consoles for all of those
90s kids
number six game boy you can have all the
power and excitement of Nintendo right
in the palm of your hand the Nintendo DS
and 3ds are incredible systems that gave
us the likes of touchscreen dual display
and Auto stereoscopic 3d all while
breaking new records however if we had
to single out one Nintendo handheld as
the cornerstone of mobile gaming it’s

number five Nintendo Wii after the n64
redefined gaming while holding on to the
past with cartridges and Nintendo’s
purple GameCube scared off the rest of
hardcore gamers into the wild Nintendo
adopted their now famous blue ocean
strategy targeting casual gamers
directly but we arrived to become a
system found in the home of non gamers
and gamers alike with a hundred million
units sold the clever marketing and true
motion controls made its affordable
price an easy sell number for Xbox 360
next up is the system that miraculously
survived a rushed launch prompting the
infamous red ring of death however it
quickly refined online gaming introduced
achievements wireless technology a hard
drive HD graphics and voice
communication while it was technically
inferior to the ps3 in terms of pure
technology the system was initially much
more affordable benefited from better
multi-platform ports and showcased a
