| Arius Dion said: "While Microsoft and Sony attempt to eliminate all differences between a console and PC with the exception of the keyboard and desk, Nintendo is striving to create a gulf of difference between the two of them. The Wii is splitting the console industry straight down. As motion controls get better, the games become more interesting and different than what can be experienced on the old generation machines such as Xbox 360 and PS3. The line that separates the Wii and HD Twins will turn into a gorge and then a canyon. More and more people will become used to the motion controls of the Wii and find the lack of them ‘wrong’ on the other consoles. Microsoft and Sony will be stuck in a shrinking box."

Malstrom is a fool. A contemptuous fool at that. He doesn't understand what motivates people who play on HD systems and assumes that the values he holds translate to everyone else. The market is currently split 50/50 between the "one true" console and the "PC" consoles, there is room enough for both. Noone is being "toppled over".
