After the console death of SEGA, there would be a new contender stepping into the console game. Microsoft decided Sony was getting a little too comfy in the whole home entertainment market. They already had the personal computer cornered for the most part and due to integrated computer components in video game consoles, a transition into that market seems like a sure thing. Also when you have a seemingly endless supply of money you can pretty much do whatever you want and with the XBOX debuted. The future of video games was bright and not lacking for options. All three companies, Sony, Microsoft, and the old head Nintendo would run into mistakes, some stemming from unproven technology, but most from a lack of understanding of what gamers actually want out of their system, to play video games.
