The video game industry has undergone a significant transformation over the past two decades, moving from a niche market to a global entertainment powerhouse. In 2003, the industry was still in its early stages of development, with home consoles such as the PlayStation 2 and Xbox dominating the market. Today, the industry is a much more diverse landscape, with mobile gaming, esports, and cloud gaming all playing a major role.
The Early Days of Home Consoles
The early days of home consoles were marked by a number of key developments. In 1972, Atari released the Pong console, which became the first commercially successful video game console.
