When it comes to technology, 10 years is a lifetime.
The same timeline also applies to video games.
In the past decade, we’ve gone through almost two generations of video-game consoles.
Spanning from 2000 with the launch of the PlayStation 2 to 2006 when the Wii was released, the gaming world has seen the release of six home consoles and five handhelds, if we count all versions of the Nintendo DS.
Nintendo has dominated the console wars recently with Wii and DS lineup.
However, Nintendo isn’t just going to sit on top of its giant wad of cash. The house that Mario built is leading the way into a brand new generation of home consoles.
Not satisfied with the recent release of the 3DS, Nintendo plans on unveiling its brand new home console at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo with a tentative 2012 release.
While only rumors and speculations are flying around right now, the console seems impressive, and I can’t wait to see what Nintendo has to bring to this year’s E3 conference.
Be sure to continue reading The Daily Reveille this summer as I report all of the new and exciting things from Nintendo and everyone else at this year’s E3 expo.
