Remember the Console Wars? Well, they're back
By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla
The last time we had a bona fide console war between the Sony Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360, the iPad and its app ecosystem didn't even exist and neither did smartphone gaming. Since then, consoles have evolved into entertainment centers, set top boxes and even musical instruction tools. The next few days will reveal the future of the console as both Microsoft and Sony square off anew to show off their new hardware as well as the games, features and software. This kicks off today with Microsoft's Xbox event and will continue into E3 with Playstation's unveiling.
