Hardware Platform Technology Evolution.  Video game hardware has evolved significantly from the early products launched in the 1980s. The processing speed of video game hardware has increased with each generation of hardware to high speed processors in today’s gaming systems, such as the Sony PlayStation 3, the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360, which all launched between 2005 and 2007. In addition, portable handheld video game devices have evolved from the 8-bit Nintendo Game Boy to the 128-bit Nintendo DSi XL, which was introduced in 2010 and the Sony PlayStation Portable (the “PSP”), which was introduced in 2005. Technological developments in chip processing speed, data storage and viewing capabilities have provided significant improvements in advanced graphics, including 3-D viewing, and audio quality, which allow software developers to create more advanced games, encourage existing players to upgrade their hardware platforms and attract new video game players to purchase an initial system. As general computer technology advances, we expect video game technology to make similar advances.
