Greenpeace has taken video game console makers to task for using hazardous materials in the devices, releasing a detailed report Tuesday. Test results in the “Playing Dirty” report indicated that Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony have moved away from or limited their usage of individual toxic compounds in certain materials in the consoles. However, Greenpeace contends that the companies could go greener and suggests that the manufacturers simply look at each others’ products for clues on how each could remove the chemicals from their respective devices.
