Xbox 360 amongst the most promising platforms to have appeared at the turn of the century

As one of the most promising platforms to have come forth at the turn of the century, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 was primarily greeted with widespread derision as a Johnny-Come-Lately to the nine billion-dollar videogaming market place (which is now worth many multiples of billions more each year). Today the Xbox is considered cutting-edge and competes directly with Sony’s just as superb Playstation, but recently the stakes were increased with Microsoft’s introduction of its Kinect technology that claims to do away with game controllers entirely, using the player’s own body movements to direct all onscreen activity. The highly advanced motion-detection technology makes it possible to scan even facial gestures!
