I must admit, I am surprised by some of you. I dont have a problem with you being happy, I just think some of you may need to agknowledge the fact that you could be happier.

It depends on how you quantify happy. I'm a married guy with friends who come over to my house and visit on Saturdays and Sundays.  That's 2 days a week the Wii definitely gets play while a 360 or PS3 would not. Not all of my friends are gamers but all of them understand how to hold down the "go" button while turning a plastic wheel.  They all know what golf is (or can make an approximation), surprisingly a lot of those non-gamers play the ever loving hell out of Smash Bros. My house has become the place to be because there's no better system for a group of people to sit around and play.

So let's say for the sake of argument you have a group of friends who come over on the weekends, from all different walks of life INCLUDING people who used to view video games as something only a shut-in neckbeard manbaby would do. What kind of a breakthrough do you think a PS3 or 360 would have on these people?

I assume thats rhetorical, but there are definitely less prevelant examples Buttt..

Singstar (games are great) You sing, it records you, it uploads the video, you view others singing like idiots, then rate them.. its a good time, any rockband/guitar hero/dj hero, buzz quiz tv, jeopardy, wheel of fortune, Little Big Planet, 1 vs 100.

I think the whole Play -Create-Share thing on consoles is really taking off.

I wouldnt call any of those things break throughs, but that sense of community and connection is there.  

haha neckbeard manbaby.. you're hilarious
