The 7th generation of video game consoles began on 22 November 2005 with the release of Microsoft's Xbox 360, and continued with the releases in North America of Sony's PLAYSTATION 3 and Nintendo's Wii in November 2006 (later for the UK). The era has also seen a number of clones and emulators, such as the Generation NEX and FC Twin Video Game System, which are designed to play Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges, and the plug-and-play console the Atari Flashback 2, which contains a number of built-in Atari 2600 games from the 70s and 80s.
In this section, we take a look at some of the most recently released video game consoles, including the Mattel HyperScan, a system specifically developed for the 'tween' market and multimedia systems such as EVO. There's also information on vapourware - hyped new consoles that failed to ever materialise, such as the Phantom Game Console .
