Why is that if someone is making the choice on a console today the reliability is not to late at all

Ah, but it is. For one thing, all we have to go on right now is Microsoft's word that Jasper will be more reliable, and they've been wrong about improving reliability before (Falcon, anyone?) The real proof will come in 6-odd months, when RRoDs either continue to happen as before or suddenly stop appearing on newer machines. Given that the last "fix" failed to actually fix anything, people aren't going to be willing to trust Microsoft this time, nor frankly should they.

But again, that's six months: out into March 2009. At that point, Microsoft will be well on its way to the five-year itch: they're going to want to announce their successor console. Once they do that, it's all over.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
