C09: X-box playstation gameboy

QUESTION: My grandchildren love their Xbox, PlayStation, and Gameboys. What are these things?

ANSWER: None of these game systems run on your home computer, but they all utilize computer technology to function. The Xbox and Sony PlayStation are played on a television using a console to control your movements (games include car racing, combating villains, etc.). A PSP is a handheld PlayStation device where you can play a variety of games, not unlike the Gameboy DS. Just as with a computer, there should be a limited amount of time playing with regular breaks in between. To get a better sense of each device, visit their websites to see a demonstration.
