With internet access, a desire to be fit and healthy, and the ability to view games as if they are television programs that you could reach out and touch, there are many amazing choices in video consoles. When Nintendo and Sega Genesis first emerged on the scene, many people decided to only be loyal to one particular system, and shunned others completely. Many people have all the available systems and enjoy each one equally. The selection and versatility of play, and the incredible graphics does not allow a person to stick to just one system.
