The XaviXPORT

A XaviXPORT.

The XaviXPORT is a console that has maintained its obscurity despite the fact that it's still available to purchase new in 2016 (at $54.99, it's cheaper than most new games for Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U) and has been out for twelve years. Launched in 2004, the XaviXPORT has a library of ten games, most of them sports games. The system uses cartridges that are placed face-up on the panel that says "XaviXPORT" and pushed down, and each game comes with wireless controllers that are equipped with motion sensors (much like the Wii) and represent and are controlled like their real-life equivalents; for instance, the "Baseball" game comes with a baseball bat-like controller and baseball, and the player swings the ball to hit the bat, much as in a real life game of baseball. An infrared sensor on the console receives information from the motion sensors.
