If it weren't for Wii, I wouldn't own a console this gen.

Console sales have very little to do with anything except the gullibility of the buying public, and good marketing.

 

 

 A PS3 Fanboy's Ideal World of Smart, Informed Consumers

Hey Grandpa, even though you're not as athletic as you used to be, you can still have fun, so we bought your retirement home "Heavenly Sword"!! Enjoy

Happy birthday Tim! We got you a new toy to play at your birthday party tonight, a PS3 with "Motorstorm"!!! You can play while all of your guests watch.

That was a great Thanksgiving dinner, and Martha the turkey was perfect! Now let's all go to the family room and watch someone play "Metal Gear Solid 4"

Just to clear up any misconception. I did in fact turn 63 last week. I do not live in a retirement home. I am retired but still working a full 40 hour week at the same medical research because I was asked to stay on. I also volunteer on an importantl environmental research program involving coral and am presently writing my third book.

I do leading edge image processing and analysis and have extensive computer knowledge. I have played video games constantly since pong and I played COD 1 & 2 extensively on line so I know a bit about gaming and gaming consoles. I make purchasing decisions on electronic equipment professionaly so I buy nothing on a whim. I am not a gullible consumer and I bought the Wii because I like the new and innovative interface. I am completely happy with my purchase and while hardly athletic in a 20 year old sense, I do exercise on Wii Fit everyday.

Just so you know.
