The evolution of the Sony PlayStation 3 game system

It is interesting when a person who has been around the world of video games and game systems for the better part of three decades takes a glimpse at the Sony PlayStation 3. To a great degree, the PS3 is something that was once only dreamed possible in the realm of a science fiction movie. While some may feel that such a statement is a bit of a stretch, the facts do not lie: the advancements of home entertainment game systems in the last few decades have been logarithmic.
In the year 1976, the video game system Pong debuted from the folks at Atari. Pong was little more than animated rectangles and squares forming such athletic contests such as hockey, tennis, soccer, etc. The whole thing was primitive and engaging, but Pong’s days at the top of the home entertainment heap would not last very long. The reason was that progress was coming and the Atari 2600, Intelivision and Colecovision home gaming systems would put the nail in the coffin of those entertainment systems that came before it. Oh well, that is just the way things go.
Today, the Sony PlayStation 3 is the new link in the chain of video game evolution and software. It is no surprise that the anticipation that surrounds the release of the game is at the fever pitch that currently exists. The reason that the fever pitch is where it is at is that the graphics and advancements that are present with the system are so far beyond what people had previously seen, that there is great anticipation and desire to give the game a try or, more accurately, purchase the game, try it out and then keep on trying it until the fourth system makes its debut!
The sound quality of the Sony PS3 is pretty amazing and it is no surprise that the audio plays represents a great deal of the motivation that is behind the buzz in regards to wanting to purchase the Sony PlayStation 3. The whirring and buzzing noises of 1981’s Atari 2600 have long since faded to memory and the awesome sound quality of the PS3 leaves those old systems to the dustbin of history. (This, of course, is not to say that those old systems do not have their own classic charm; but, rather to merely draw a few minor comparisons)
The hype around the Play Station 3 is quite well deserved as it is definitely a system that delivers on all its promises. While there will always be critics, there will also be those who will be hard pressed to find any negatives or flaws with what is clearly one of the most superior gaming systems ever invented.
