EA is using the GCA as a platform to reach out and work with new partners.

MAxSoft, the official distributor of Nintendo products in Singapore, will be officially launching the Nintendo Wii game console that has taken the world by storm. The Wii uses a revolutionary, motion-sensing game controller that requires gamers to swing, poke and move about in order to play ? no more sitting down and passively pushing buttons on a controller. In other words, the old "button mashing" stereotype of console gaming has been debunked by Nintendo's new approach.

Sony will be showcasing the latest developments for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Sony PlayStation Portable game consoles.
