I read this news on a couple of other sites, and after reading half of the responses to this one, I am NOT surprised at the blatant SONY hate here on these boards. You're either ignorant (not necessarily a bad thing) of the context or you're a blatant anti-SONY/PS3 fanboy. We all agree that the Wii has attracted the "non-gamer" which is usually the female and "older" population, mainly outside the stereo-typical teen to young male adult audience. And can we all guess what attracted the "non-gamers" to the Wii? Maybe it's the Wiimote and the incorporation in its games. SONY NEVER said that they didn't need the "senior citizens" market. They are just not specifically targeting them. If "senior citizens" were gamers to being with, they would have buying gaming consoles for themselves to begin with. Otherwise, they would not have been attracted to the Wii for the motion sensor remote. And I'm all for gaming reaching a broader audience, but if all console makers and developers just target the "non-gamers," what about us gamers? I've hear more blatant SONY/PS3 hate saying "I bought a console to play game, not to watch movies," and we all know that that's referring to. So someone can argue "I bought a console to play game, not to exercise..." in regards to Wi fit, not criticizing the Wii, but just making a point since I just got back from running. I wouldn't call a Wii a fad, and the console is selling well. But how many of your "non-gamers" are not using the Wii as hardcore and some casual gamers are as a gaming console? I think more specifically, the Wiimote and it's application are a novelty, and thankfully, Nintendo is doing what they can to enhance the Wiimote for further application, keeping it fresh incase the novelty dies down. And let's not forget that Microsoft also said the Wii was a fad. And it's also sad that the blatant anti-SONY/PS3 fanboys like to take things out of context even further. They just take a piece of the pie when it's the whole situation they should be considering. Just because SONY isn't leading in sales doesn't mean they are not leading elsewhere like HD and arguable leading technology as time will only tell. Oh, and S.T.A.G.E., you're the one who delusional by taking things out of context and not seeing that SONY did give Nintendo their credit due...
"as a brand, Nintendo’s got their thing..." -SONY
So stop being a fanboy.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
