The Game Console 2.0: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox

I purchased The Game Console 2.0: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox as a Christmas gift for my 13-year-old son, who is a big fan of video games. He absolutely loved it! The book is filled with amazing photos and detailed information about the history of video game consoles, from the earliest days of gaming all the way up to the present. One thing I really appreciated about this book is how engaging and informative it is. It's not just a coffee table book filled with pretty pictures, but rather a comprehensive guide to the history of video games. My son was fascinated by the stories behind each console, and he loved learning about the evolution of gaming technology. The book is also very well organized and easy to navigate. It's broken down by console, so you can easily find the information you're looking for. The photos are high-quality, and they really bring the consoles to life. Overall, I would highly recommend The Game Console 2.0: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox to anyone who loves video games, whether you're a seasoned gamer or just getting started. It's a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of gaming, and it makes for a wonderful gift. My son was absolutely thrilled with it, and I know it will be a book he treasures for years to come. Five stars!

Even if you're not a hardcore gamer this book is a terrific look back at the history of game consoles for anybody interested in consumer electronics. It includes all the heavy hitters that you've likely heard of, as well as a bunch of the more obscure systems that contributed to the overall history of home gaming. There are beautiful photos of the consoles on every page, so this makes a great book to simply flip through. If you've ever been interested in game consoles, consumer electronics, product design, etc. then this book is for you!

Awesome book, with amazing pics from an amazing era!

My son has a special interest in vintage video games and greatly enjoyed reading this book. He shared countless pieces of information and even learned new things. With having special interests it can be common for books to have redundant information as they all fall within similar niches but this book was through and unique. Unique and fun gift for my teen son who loves all the things in the old video game category!

We got this book for our son for Christmas. He is 16, and collects vintage video game systems and other gaming items as a hobby. We ended up giving it to him on Dec 1st, because he was having a bad day and I thought it'd cheer him up. He absolutely loves it! It has SO much info, and is very visual also, which is great for someone like him who has ADHD and trouble focusing. I really really feel it would be amazing for anyone into gaming or collecting. We all have learned so much we never knew about various systems.

This book was amazing to read from cover to end

I was excited to get this since I really liked the first book but this second edition seems very inconsistent. Like why is the Oculus Quest being featured but the PlayStation VR and Other VR headsets are left out? And what does iOS and Android have to do with console gaming? Also what happened to the teardown pictures of the current gen consoles, like this just seems like an unnecessary revision and not worth you’re money if you already own the original.

Si te apasiona la historia de los videojuegos, The Game Console 2.0 es una joya que no puede faltar en tu colección. El libro está lleno de imágenes de alta calidad y detalles fascinantes sobre más de 100 consolas, desde las clásicas hasta las más modernas. Me encantó la forma en que está organizado, con información clara y bien presentada.
