PS3 on the rise. Doomsayers eat crow.

[The Ghost of RubangB]

Paul Warren, you can't have it both ways.

You can't disagree with the reviews that say Ocarina is the best, but then agree with the reviews that say the PS2 had more games above a certain benchmark. That's picking and choosing reviews to support your argument.

Take 'em all or leave 'em all.

It's obvious you don't agree with them, so why use some of them in arguments?

I say fuck 'em.



I don't care what kids think about Wii Sports. Kids don't have money. Parents do. Parents like Wii Sports. That's how the Wii sells to kids. It steals mom. Iwata stated that the first goal of the Wii was to use as little electricity as possible, and the second was: capture all moms. The whole motion sensing tech and TV remote and TV-styled interface was all designed to make it easier to capture moms. You capture the moms, you capture the kids and the husband. It works.

I know several people who paid $250 for Wii Sports. And during the frenzy of the few months right after launch, when the Wii had demo kiosks in the middle of the mall, people would just walk by, drop their jaws, play some bowling o tennis, and pre-order on the spot. These people hadn't played games before in their lives, and only cared about Wii Sports. It was worth it to them. Maybe they learned about other games later on, but at that moment, they paid $250 for Wii Sports.



And the Wii won't have an undoing, unless you mean it'll skyrocket as hard as the DS did, even though it's already trending above every gaming system every made. It has too much momentum for a lack of games that cater to Paul Warren to slow it down. It's not only possible for a system to cater to more than one market (including new ones), but it's possible for a gamer to enjoy more than one type of game. I can't wait for Mad World or Wii Music or Animal Crossing or Guitar Hero: World Tour or the new Wario.
