Form-factor-wise the PSP Go is significantly smaller and noticeably lighter than its PSP predecessors, and wont result in you hearing the sound of tearing fabric when you slide it into a pocket. Sonys decision to ditch the optical UMD drive however plays a huge role in lightening the PSP Gos load by approximately 40 per cent. Where PSP titles were initially sold on petite and proprietary UMD discs, the PSP GO has 16GB of built-in flash memory (which can be bolstered by a Memory Stick Micro) slot for storing games and other media

On August 25, 2009, Sony released the newest member of the PS3 family. Slimmer, lighter, and only $299, the PlayStation 3 120 GB has Wi-Fi and a Blu-ray player built in. Additionally, PlayStation 3 80 GB and PlayStation 3 160 GB consoles are available at new, low prices of $299 and $399, respectively.

The Elite and Pro versions of Microsofts Xbox 360 console are also available at new, low prices: $299 for the Xbox 360 Elite and $249 for the Xbox 360 Pro. Featuring a large library of great games, and an online community with over 20 million people to play with or against, the Xbox 360 is a must-have experience.

Now that the 360 and PS3 are cheaper, the landscape of gaming is shifting in terms of value. Head-to-head, the problem may lie with Sonys inclusion of the Blu-ray disc format. Once thought to be the PS3s Achilles Heel is now an attractive feature for budding consumers looking to invest in the de facto high-definition format and PS3 sales up 300 percent weeks after price cut.

Nintendo has officially announced that the price of the Wii will drop to $199.99, effective on Sunday. The long-rumored $50 price cut comes in the wake of recent price drops for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. After weeks of leaks and price cuts that brought both the Xbox 360 Elite and PlayStation 3 to $299, Nintendo has finally confirmed suspicions of gamers and analysts alike, announcing a $50 price cut to the Wii, effective this Sunday, September 27.

The lower-priced game system retain its current bundle of  the Wii Sports video game, one controller, a Nunchuk controller add-on and wireless sensor bar. Certainly, no game has captured the imagination and had consumers literally from 5 to 95 playing together. That is why the configuration continues to include that title Nintendo was responding more to its growth mission rather than economics or competition.

Nintendo also announced to release the Wii Fit Plus accessory on October 4. This might have a direct impact on the sales of Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles to a certain extent. Usually large sales are observed during the holiday season (December), when a number of games are released for different consoles. This price cut will surely get billions of casual gaming audience interested in the Wii console.

The Wii is a home video game console released by Nintendo. As a seventh-generation console, the Wii primarily competes with Microsofts Xbox 360 and Sonys PlayStation 3. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of both. As of December 31, 2008 the Wii leads the generation over the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in worldwide sales. A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detect movement in three dimensions. Another distinctive feature of the console is WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode.
