It would take time and effort to choose a game console that is right for you. You should have enough time to read the features of the latest and popular game consoles in the market. But some busy people don't have extra time to go to the market and do a survey. My only advice to you is to get an Xbox 360 instead. If you have no knowledge why the Xbox 360, then take a few minutes of your time and read this article.

Xbox 360 is a successor of the Xbox and produced by Microsoft Company. It is a game console that has the same level with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii.
