History of Video Game Consoles

Video games revolutionized the way we play games. Currently known as Silicon Valley's era, random points, smarter terminals, cycle times, and lower costs have yielded millions of dollars of profit. It all began with other games like arcade games and board games. From computers to video game console technologies, many companies are growing fast in the game industry, but other companies have failed. Magnavox, Atari, Sega, Nintendo, PlayStation, X-box are all part of success and failure.

The history of video game machines can be traced back to the United States. In 1977, Atari launched their first game console Atari 2600. Originally known as Atari VCS (Video Computer System), game sales peaked in 1982 and sold approximately 9 million units. In 1983, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) was launched in Japan. This 8-bit processor unit became the most successful game machine in Asia and North America then, introduced Mario and Donkey Kong to the world. In 1985, the Sega Master System was released in the United States to compete in the 8 - bit console market. The two machines competed directly until their 16 successors were introduced; Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis) in the early 1990's. A new 32-bit machine appeared in the mid-1990s; Sony's PlayStation, Sega's Saturn and Nintendo's N64

The first entry into Nintendo's video game industry was to win the right to sell Magnavox Odyssey video game machine in Japan in 1974. Nintendo began producing its own hardware in 1977 with a color video game home video game machine. Four versions of these consoles were made, each of them included a single game variant (eg color video game 6 has six versions of light tennis). Nintendo currently hires product developer for student Shigeru Miyamoto. He works for Yokoi, and one of his top priorities is to design a shell for some color video game machines. Miyamoto has created, supervised and produced Nintendo's most famous video game, and has become one of the most famous people in the video game industry.
