The power of the internet is far and wide reaching. And when you think about it, the World Wide Web has really changed the way that video game consoles operate forever. I recall playing different video game consoles as a child and while they were always entertaining, to say the least, they were also void of the online presence and the offerings of expanded game play that the next generation video game consoles of today afford. Without the internet at the fore, video game consoles could only be played at a home, and not online against your friends. The live play feature that is available on all of the video game consoles of today allows for friends to play each other online without sharing a screen. Similarly, it creates more rivalry because you can try to best online posted scores of a particular game. One other advantage that live gaming has to offer is that games that used to only be one player are now able to become multiplayer smash hits online. In so many words: the internet has changed video game consoles forever, and for the better.
