It’s hard to miss the knock-down drag out fight within the latest generation of video game consoles. Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are the frontrunners of the console war with their respective XBox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

Gaming Standards Set: XBox, PlayStation and GameCube

The console war seems especially drawn out because the latest generation of gaming consoles has been out for so long. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s it seemed like almost every year a new must-have console was released.

Then the bar was set with Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo’s flagship consoles: Sony released its epic PlayStation 2 in 2000, Microsoft launched its foray into the gaming world with its XBox console in 2001 only to be met with Nintendo’s GameCube that same year. These consoles were all part of the sixth generation of gaming consoles.
