Consoles Herald Games Revolution
 

Over the next 12 months, the most powerful piece of technology in the home is likely to be the games console in the living room, rather than the PC in the bedroom.

A lucky few have already taken the plunge into this brave new world of gaming, snapping up Microsoft's turbo-charged Xbox 360 home console. Others will join this roller coaster ride into the next generation of video games with the arrival of new machines from Sony and Nintendo.

Both Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Nintendo's Revolution are expected some time in 2006. "We're about to hit the crest of an extraordinary hardware wave," said Margaret Robertson, reviews editor at the games magazine Edge.

"It is hard to remember a time when there was this much exciting kit coming out."
