The Nintendo Wii - formerly the Nintendo Revolution, was formally announced at an E3 2006 press conference. The display screen lit up to a Mario game, with Mario running around, and picking up crates to throw at enemies - and the crate followed the same path onscreen.

The 360 Wireless Headset, announced as part of a spate of new hardware for the Xbox 360, at an E3 press conference, is a small ear-mounted microphone and speaker, designed in modern soft curves, and possessing easy access to volume, mute, and power buttons located on the headset itself.
E3 2006: Activision to Open DreamWorks Studio
