thanks, but still strange cause far more kids in the US play american football, baseball, or basketball..

you would be surprised how many kids play soccer. And by the way, girls play a lot of soccer.

girls and soccer just don't match..

By eHow Sports & Fitness Editor
Between 7 and 8 million girls ages 6 through 18 play soccer in the United States. It is important that they are taught to take full advantage of their sports experience by encouraging them to be competitive

it still doesn't match.. football (soccer) is a boys sport.. but I can understand that if you're american you think american football and ice hockey are boy sports and football is for girls.. but then you have no clue what a hard sport football actually is.. anyway.. everyone expects Nintendo to unveil a lot at E3, so I'm looking forward to it, but also for a lot more..

I didn't know some sports were for boys and some were for girls. Both play football. A lot. Everywhere.

I don't know what you're getting at with your movie comments psrock but they seem to be the complete opposite about your gaming comments.

The Blair Witch Project was a movie which cost (roughly) $30,000 to make and grossed over $100,000,000 in theaters; so in other words, in many ways this movie was exactly like Mario and Sonic at the Olympics in that it was low budget and still had high revenues. Your argument was that publishers would abandon their high budget projects (similar to big budget blockbuster movies) in the face of such high profitability, which from movies (and what we have seen in the videogame industry) seems amazingly unlikely.

You attempt to deflect this argument by pointing out that (for the most part) big budget blockbuster movies are crap ... I've got a peice of information for you, big budget videogames (for the most part) are crap! Mobile Sut Gundam: Crossfire, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Lair, Genji: Days of the Blade, and BlackSite: Area 51 all had very large budgets and were all very bad games.

The fact is these big budget games, much like movies, continue to be announced for the PS3 and XBox 360 every day even though they will probably be pretty bad and sell pretty poorly anyways. So how has Mario and Sonic at the Olympics or the Wii in general hurt the big budget games?

 Weren't you complaining the other day that the wii doesn't and won't get games?

The thing is that Nintendo did not make hardcore games cost as much as they do. Put the blame where it belongs.
