The point of the link was to show the press isn't all good for Nintendo; you didn't have to reply. But hey, thanks for your opinions.
Every console company has made false promises and said things to boost hype. Why you are so focused on this 4-D comment is beyond me. If you don't know what it means they why they heck do you care? It's just a comment! I'm not going to research everything Microsoft has said but I know for a fact that they made false promises in an EGM interview and this year they pointed that out in a followup. So what?
Internet buzz is not a complete indicator of how anything is going. Do you base all of your opinions on how much "buzz" there is when you search google news? I don't. Most of the sites copy and paste quotes for big announcements without a tidbit of analysis. The original headlines for the Elite were something like "A fanboy's dream comes true! The Elite is here!" then a few days later people actually had a chance to think about it and realized it's a stupid idea. I was a few days ahead, I guess. Maybe you just read headlines, I don't know.
Ahh, Wii exclusives..heh...I'm going to enjoy this. How many games on the Wii couldn't be on another system? Zelda? Oh wait, that was on the gamecube, wasn't it? Rayman Raving Rabbits? Oh, PS2...darn...Warioware was on the gamecube. The Godfather? Nope. SSX? Nope. Okay, Wii sports. Ya got me! There aren't too many games that couldn't be ported to the PS3 and 360. I want to point out that PS3 does have motion detection and can do a lot of things the Wiimote can do. It will also be easier to play Lair with than Wiimote would be.
There are plenty of online games for the PS3. So far I've played Resistance, Motorstorm, RR7, and MK2 with no lag.
I dunno, I have really enjoyed those games and Oblivion. What kind of "uber-killer-exclusive-game" do you need? Where are those for other consoles? So far Zelda and Gears of War if you like those kind of games. I'm going to play Zelda soon when I get my Wii. And btw, it took a year for Gears of War to come out, and Zelda is a gamecube game. So, if you don't consider Lair, Resistance, or Motorstorm to be a "uber-killer-exclusive-game" then just wait.
