The hottest trend currently in gaming is social gaming.
Social gaming is very popular because it allows you to play
with your friends or complete strangers and gives you the
 ability to communicate via a headset. Some of the most
   popular social titles are games like Halo, Call of Duty,
       Guitar Hero, Little Big Planet and many more.
New innovations like Xbox 360 Kinect and the PlayStation
Move are changing the way you play games. These gadgets
 allow you to get a group of friends together or the whole
family and play a game together. The Xbox Kinect does not
   even require a controller, YOU are the controller. The
  Kinect gives you a full body gaming experience which is
very cool. The PlayStation Move is not as hands free as the
 Kinect, as it requires a wand-like controller, similar to the
 Wii console. The Move is also geared for the social side of
 gaming and encourages the entire family to get involved.
The first person shooter games like Call of Duty and Halo
   have benefited greatly from this social trend. Both
PlayStation and Xbox have online portals where you can
 sign on for any game but these titles are probably the
     most well-known for being social gaming titles.
Another gadget that is impacting this gaming trend is the
ability to take gaming anywhere is the pico projector. Picos
allow you to project up to a 60" screen which is perfect for
    taking your gaming to go. Multi-player titles are the
            perfect application for pico projectors.
According to the sales numbers reported by Sony and
Microsoft, the Move is currently outperforming the Kinect.
 Sony is reporting that since launching in September the
     Move has sold 4.1 million units worldwide. This
 announcement came after Microsoft announced it had
         sold 2.5 million units in the first 25 days.
Both of these devices should be popular with the holiday
season right around the corner it will be interesting to see
             which gadget comes out on top.
