Explanation / Answer

Bushnell’s who is the person who gives great motivation and inspiration towards his interest in video games when the technology places not so much important role in our lives. Coming to the HOME VIDEOGAME INDUSTRY “Bushnell” developed a video by his version which is called as “computer space” the main advantage of this game was the productivity is very cheap but that game got failed in the real time scenario because the game rules were itself very long means to play the game an user must read a page full of instruction which is the main drawback. after that he thought about a game which production is simple as well which contains less instructions can play that game with single hand. The result of this thought process generated a game like table tennis named as “pong” contains only one instruction which attracts the users very well.

   To attract that Bushnell kept a company with few employees and selling the machines ,but one day he thought to give a demo lively in public regarding his product but got a negative reponse with no sales then with the thought of go to every home pong game Atari and with that bushnell boosted production .which is the birth of “HOME VIDEOGAME “ in 1975 Coming to demand and competition part Bushnell Atari faced competition with 20 different companies with different competitive item like console computer, the controller etc in 1976 Bushnell sold his Atari to Warner- communication for $28 million. later Fairchild’s cautious approach was the result of prior experience .in 1978 bushnell committed Atari to manufacturing 1 million units of the 2600 for the Christmas season.at this point Atari had a library of 9 games and Fairchild had 17.

But unfortunately i n that .1978 year only sales was not good only Atari and coleco survived the industry.in 1979 many game producers and programmers tried to beat Atari but no one achive that .After that in tha 1981 the sales demand got increased and in u.s these sales increased to 1 billion dollars.in same year only after Christmas season sales got decreased and so many companies left video game industry.

Nintendo monopoly was a Japanese company, in 1980’s he decided to develop his own machine to develop video games so he pushed his developers to develop that machine with low cost ,contriollers and console technology based on Fairchild and finally they named it as a “Femicom” In 1980’s he established his business in japan as well as in America and updated the games according based the requirements. With that in 1985 between 500 to 600 stores in the new York city full of with Nintendo systems which is a huge success. In 1990’s Atari want to use Nintendo security code illegally afther that with the pressure then the developers got to develop a system which must work on all the platforms .Later Sega’s sonic boom has came which is used to overcome some realistic problems Then sony,3do like that so many game then again Nintendo got its boom back with all the preparation then the next generation as the war between PS2 and Xbox among the both of them sony was the winner .from 2001 to 2006 sony had hit the market with PS3 ,so in fiscal 2009 microsoft generated a good no of machines with good revenue so all these thing tells the improvement in home videogame industry
