While the launch date of the Wii U remains unknown, more and more details about the next-gen Nintendo console continue to surface. We recently heard a more detailed breakdown of the Wii U's potential power compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3, and that it’s currently in beta testing. While we've gotten the briefest glimpses at what the Wii U will look like, and we've been able to gather enough information to make estimates about… Read More

Over the weekend, we were among the sites that picked up on the PS4 buzz. In an interview talking about the company’s current investments, Sony VP and chief financial officer Masaru Kato alluded to a new console – or did he?

In a turn of events roughly about as surprising as Britney Spears' and Kevin Federline's recent divorce, there's one question I'm inevitably asked more than any other this holiday season: “Which of the next-generation videogame systems – PlayStation 3, Wii or Xbox 360 – do you recommend?” The answer, unfortunately, isn't so simple, given each machine's varying feature set, computing/graphical… Read More

“While Nintendo's next generation console gaming system likely won't hit living rooms until 2006, that doesn't mean the company won't introduce new hardware this year. A new analyst report suggests the company is planning to ship the next version of the Game Boy portable gaming system by the end of 2005. If so, that would be the third new handheld gaming system in as many years for Nintendo, whose Nintendo DS… Read More

Quote from the review at Monkey Review: “I've always been intrigued by the functionality offered by KVM Switches, the main one being the fact that I could have my Work System & my Gaming System connected without having to move fromone end of the room to the other, as well, the fact that I could use my larger monitor for both tasks really appealed to me.
