ABSTRACT

Games evolve to meet new technologies and new demands from players. Console games had followed a path towards increasingly focused hardcore play for years, as each generation of consoles increased computing power and the potential to render more and more detailed graphics. Then the Wii came along and helped open up consoles to casual gamers, who had previously shied away from expensive hardware and the traditional hardcore games found on them. The Wii introduced physical play into the living room with video games like Wii Tennis .
