The Console Wars

"Console wars" is a term used to refer to periods of intense competition for market share between video game console manufacturers. The winners of these "wars" may be debated based on different standards: market penetration and financial success, or the fierce loyalty and numbers of the fans of the system's games. Although it is almost impossible for anyone to confirm which is best, there is a huge competition for the gaming manufacturers to out do eachover. There are various pros and cons and all consoles boast there own unique qualities.
It has been suggested that in fact thereis no major difference in peerformance of these consoles.
Bill Gates: "We have a Ferrari, they have a Ferrari….but ours will leave first"
This most definately suggests that Microsoft feel that they have the advantage purely because there console was released first.
