microsoft, the king of trash talking

I would say that's true of the middle school crowd. 14-year-olds have huge self esteem issues, they want to be part of the cool group, and they DON'T want to be associated with anything that might be "uncool" (according to other 14-year-olds). Unfortunately for Nintendo, they do carry the "kiddie" image. It doesn't matter if there are mature games available for the Wii, Nintendo's franchises are "fun for all ages", or, in middle-school terms, "lame". So I agree, when you turn 14 you'll want something else. But when you turn 17, hopefully you'll realize you just want to play fun games, and you'll pick the console that has the games you want to play. Note: This doesn't apply to all 14-year-olds. When I was 15, I couldn't wait to get my N64, and couldn't care less if people thought it was "uncool". I was "uncool" anyway, and had plenty of "uncool" friends.
