The war is on for the next generation of gaming consoles. On one side, we have the Japanese behemoth conglomerate known as, Sony, and on the other, Microsoft, the American tech giant who has dominated the home computer scene for the last three decades. This year has seen the announcement of new consoles from both sides, which has resulted in an endless set of conferences, trailers and announcements. As a gamer, I love the fact that both sides have been firing shots at one another and this tasty affair makes for an interesting duel.
