Over the years there has been competetion between gaming platforms. And I mean a lot, it has gone back and forth plenty of times.

It all started off with Nintendo versus Sega. They were both some pretty awesome systems and brought us classics like mario...and sonic. After a bit out came some new systems. Sega genises, and Super Nintendo. Notice A pattern? There wasn't much change from this enhancement. Sega came out with Sega Saturn, which most likely you don't remember.

Now is when Nintendo takes it. With the release of the Game Boy. This was advanced for it's time. This took Nintendo to the top of the gaming industry. Now feeling pressure Sega was having some problems. Then Nintendo came out with another bang, the Nintendo 64. This system was top of the line. It had such great games as 007: Golden Eye.

With Sega out of the picture for awhile, we are introduced to the sony world. Out comes The PSS or PS1. Takes the gamers by storm. HAD A FREAKIN' DISK!!! So this pretty much beats down Nintendo. With Sega about to die, out comes the Dreamcast. Now that is one crappy piece of machinery for it's time. I won't even talk about it. And this is about the end of Sega. Now with Nintendo And Sony alone Nintendo pulls out some gameboys. The Pocket And Colour. These are a huge hit. But Sony is still hanging on. After a while Sony starts to feel some pressure so it releases the PS2. Big hit, everyone gets it.Shortly after comes a wave of gameboys. First the GBA. big hit. Then there is a new generation of systems, XBOX and Nintendo Gamecube. The Gamecube was ok but mostly only appealed to the Nintendo fans. Then the GBA SP. Almost a big hit. GBA DS. In the crapper. So now Sony feels the urge to take over the handheld industry. With the recent release of the Playstation Portable(PSP). It takes it. It can play DVD's, MP3's, and of course games. Now I know some of you realized I didn't talk about XBOX yet. So I will now. XBOX releases out of nowhere. However, it has the huge support of Micrsoft. In my opinion, PS2 VS XBOX, close call. But with the PSP. Sony has it by little bit.(I'm not counting PC games) So what will come next? Hopefully not another Gameboy from Nintendo. Maybe a PS3 or XBOX2 would be nice.
