hahahahahah wow, I laugh at that, but you have to admit the 360 isnt reliable, and the wii is for a younger audience, while the ps3 is more for everyone.

Once again, the Wii/DS are the ones that are expanding in to the adult audience. Not only can I support this with strong ancedotal evidence -- I have personally sold a good deal of Wiis to adults and even to the elderly -- but also with statistical evidence, as shown at Nintendo's E3 press conference. Nintendo's sales to the adult market have literally doubled in the last two years, which is enormous and rapid growth.

I view the Wii like a Pixar movie. Let's pick Finding Nemo, for example. It's a movie that can be enjoyed by kids, definitely, but it also is enjoyable to adults because of its (often) sophisticated humor and adult themes (the difficulty in letting go of children,  the fear of loss stunting growth). However, I think 16 year old boys think that Pixar movies are uncool -- that they are kiddie -- and thus stay away from them.  Just my experience. In essence, Pixar movies capture the child and adult markets, skipping the 16-25 year old male bracket almost completely. I think the Wii is doing something similar.
