News Article: (Technology) Apple’s Shadow Hangs Over Game Console Makers

Summary:
In the current market, gaming applications are more and more popular on cell phones. An evidence is that 168 games out of the 758 new game shown in the Tokyo Game Show last week are of Cellphone platforms. “We are going to be moving to an era when different software stores fight against each other,” Mr. Hanamura, the chef executive of Capcom, said. In addition, the executive of Konami Digital Entertainment also told the reporter: “As a platform, the cellphone has the biggest potential, because everybody owns one.”
Thus, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are all making tremendous amounts of price cuts and coming up with eye-catching innovations. Nintendo introduced new device to download digital contents such as music, photos, video, and games. Microsoft is developing "a motion system that combines cameras with voice and face-recognition software" so people can play using natural body movements rather than hand-held controllers. The last but not the least is SONY, who promised a 3-D video game using a new controller similar to that of wii.
Despite all the changes, however, analysts believe the major evolution will come with gaming applications for computers. “After all," as Mr. Yoshida had said, "we’re talking about the kind of games people make sitting in a cafe with a laptop.”
