Shigeru once said, “The Obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.” Since, the early 1990’s, there has only been two heavy weight gaming consoles: PlayStation and Xbox.

The term “gaming console” is used to distinguish them from arcade machines and computers. Currently, the latest models are the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox One.
