Hasbro launches gaming console

By James Ransom-Wiley

Hasbro Inc., second only to Mattel in toy production, is gearing up for its entry into the gaming industry... rather, the "electronic learning toy" industry.  Meet the ION
($119.99), the educational gaming console that features a motion-sensitive camera (think: Sony's EyeToy).  The games ($17.99) are based on popular TV shows (e.g. SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer & Blue's Clues).

Sure the ION sounds kinda cool, but c'mon now, it ain't got nothin' on Captain Power & the Soldiers of the Future.
