Game Console Feature Matrix

Game Console Feature's Matrix

Key features of each game console as per the manufacture's specification at the time of first release. In recent months, more hardware is available for each system. Buying a base unit, will soon just get you a case with a power lead. Nevertheless these additional features are required to use the best functions of new products, which in turn drives the price of new packages higher. In doing so, comparing standard features available on each console, soon becomes inaccurate as old base units are repackaged with additional features over time. Sony PlayStation 3 Wi-Fi is fitted to the 60GB package as standard, but I doubt the 20GB PS3 will have this for free until 2008! A well designed games console does not require a hard disk. Although extra storage capacity can be useful to add value to games by providing downloads from the internet, also transforming a games console into a multi-media centre, capable of playing high definition movies.
