Price cuts have never made all that many inroads into the demographic we now call the Blue Ocean. One might claim that this generation is different, except that the 360Arcade's price cuts haven't given the 360 a significant boost there either, even though the Arcade became the 360's most popular model.
This would seem to imply that price is not, and has not been, the factor that keeps the Blue Ocean away from older systems and from the HD consoles. Being cheap just isn't enough.
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.
