Consoles of the 2000s
The sixth generation of video games officially began in 1998 with the introduction of the short lived Dreamcast. The sixth generation improved on the 3D graphics of the fifth generation consoles as an era of many 128-bit games. Some of the new features in the consoles included bulit-in DVD Players and Hard drives. The PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox were the best selling systems of this generation, dropping Nintendo and eliminating Sega from the console war. Nintendo releases the Game Boy Advance series, which dominates as the most widely played handheld system, despite growing competition. In 2003, Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance SP which features a flip-top design and a front-lit screen. Another even smaller version of the GBA was released as the Game Boy Micro in 2005 . The internet begins to become a resource for gamers through the new Xbox Live feature that allows players to play anyone around the world.

The Grand Theft Auto series, notable for many violent and sexual plotlines, was a best-seller of the 2000s. The series' popularity sparked a fad of several Mature-rated video games based on including gang warfare, drug use, and perceived "senseless violence" into the gameplay. The Hot Coffee controversy, a sex mini-game, was discovered in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and caused widespread controversy and have fueled efforts to ban the sale of Mature-rated games to minors. The effort has been spearheaded by mothers, lawmakers, and activists (such as Jack Thompson), although all such efforts to pass any laws concerning this have been firmly struck down.

Other - Gamers who were children in the 1980s and 1990s are now adults and continue to play video games. The average age for video game players rises into the mid to late 20s as videogames become mainstream entertainment, and not just children's toys.
- Video games like Halo (2001) and Half-Life 2 (2004) with its Source engine revolutionize the physics aspect of gameplay. Red Faction in 2001 became among the first games to feature destructible environments on any level. Age of Empires III (2005) becomes the first real-time strategy (RTS) game to use the Havok Physics engine and thus feature realistic physics. Company of Heroes, an RTS released in 2006, was the first game of any genre to feature fully-destructible environments. Crysis, expected to be released in 2007, will push physics technology one step further, featuring an environment that can be affected in nearly every way by its surroundings.
- 3d games become the staple of the video-game industry, with 2d games nearly fading from the market. Partially 3d and fully 2d games were still common in the industry early in the decade, but these have now become rare as developers look almost exclusively for fully 3d games to satisfy the increasing demand for them in the market.
- Sequels and spin-offs began to dominate the video game industry early in the decade and led to the decline in the number of successful original titles. The Grand Theft Auto series has become among the most popular franchises, beginning with Grand Theft Auto in 1997 . It has since spawned 4 sequels, with a fifth slated for 2007 . All of the GTA games have been best-sellers. In 2004, both Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 were released as sequels to some of the most popular franchises in video game history, while Halo, released in 2001, has spawned another best-selling franchise. The third and final instalment, Halo 3, was released in late 2007. It was preceded by Halo 2, which was released in 2004 . The Final Fantasy and Zelda series remain among the most popular.
