Ethan Dec 3, Though the Playstation 3—the only system at the time to play Blu-rays—was successful in its own right, Sony, for the first time, faced stiff competition from its rivals. The Xbox , which had similar graphics capabilities to the Playstation 3, was lauded for its online gaming ecosystem and won far more Game Critics Awards than the other platforms in ; it also featured the Microsoft Kinect, a state-of-the-art motion capture system that offered a different way to play video games though the Kinect never caught on with core gamers or game developers.
And despite being technologically inferior to the other two systems, the Wii trounced its competition in sales. Its motion-sensitive remotes made gaming more active than ever before, helping it appeal to a much larger slice of the general public, including people in retirement homes. Towards the end of the decade and beginning of the next, video games spread to social media platforms like Facebook and mobile devices like the iPhone, reaching a more casual gaming audience.
The next few years would see several sequels and other toy-video game hybrids, such as Disney Infinity , which features Disney characters. Despite featuring a touch screen remote control that allowed off-TV gaming and being able to play Wii games, the Wii U was a commercial failure—the opposite of its competition—and was discontinued in In , Sony released a more powerful version of its console, called the Playstation 4 Pro, the first console capable of 4K video output.
In early , Nintendo released its Wii U successor, the Nintendo Switch, the only system to allow both television-based and handheld gaming.
Microsoft will release its 4K-ready console, the Xbox One X, in late With their new revamped consoles, both Sony and Microsoft currently have their sights set on virtual reality gaming, a technology that has the potential to change the way players experience video games.

The printing press is a device that allows for the mass production of uniform printed matter, mainly text in the form of books, pamphlets and newspapers. Created in China, the printing press revolutionized society there before being further developed in Europe in the 15th The automobile was first invented and perfected in Germany and France in the late s, though Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive industry in the first half of the twentieth century.
Henry Ford innovated mass-production techniques that became standard, and Ford, After serving as a small arms expert throughout World War II, Baer enrolled in the American Television Institute of Technology, graduating with a degree in television engineering. In , Baer found himself tasked with designing the "world's best television" for a television company named Loral.
Wanting to make the television stand out against the competition, Baer proposed building an electronic game into the television set, but the concept proved too outlandish for his manager to approve. Baer would have to wait for more than a decade before he could revisit the idea, this time as the chief engineer at defense contractor Sanders Associates. With the company's support and the help of fellow engineers William H.
Harrison and William T. Rusch, Baer completed the first video game system in [source: The Lemelson Center ]. Unlike its predecessors, Baer's system was compatible with ordinary television sets.
One prototype followed another, with each new design capable of playing more complicated games. By the time the seventh and final prototype, known internally as Brown Box, was completed in , Baer's team also had developed several games for the system. In addition to Chase Game, where players chased each others' squares around the screen, and a "ball and paddle" game that would later inspire the creation of Atari's Pong, Baer's team developed a checkers game, several sports ones and even a shooting game that used a rifle peripheral.
After putting the finishing touches on Brown Box, Baer began searching for a company willing to take his video game system to the public. In , Magnavox became the first licensee of Baer's "TV Game" and developed the Odyssey home video console based on the technology.
Like Baer's Brown Box, the Odyssey came with two paddle controllers and an optional light-sensing rifle peripheral. The system also came with colorful plastic screen overlays that allowed players to play "color" video games, as well as poker chips and other board game accessories. The system was a huge success, selling more than , units for the company over the next three years, despite the widespread misconception that the console would only work on Magnavox television sets [source: The Lemelson Center ].
