Microsoft also announced its new gaming system, a slimmer and more powerful version of the Xbox 360.

In addition it also revealed its rival to the Nintendo Wii, a hands-free, motion sensor gaming device called Kinect for the Xbox console, designed for the family market. 

Meanwhile, Sony, makers of PS3, released its new 3D and motion-controller systems. 

The PlayStation Move is two controllers that will work similarly to the Wii remotes, but the PS3s are also set to be updated with 3D software, compatible with the 20 planned 3D games to be released next year.
