There's tons of people that will still buy the 360 or PS3 over the Wii, no question. Personally, I would call a lot of these people stupid, as they're the type that need their HD games, their bluetooth headsets, all the latest and greatest technology, no matter what the cost. Sure there's genuine 360 lovers, but a lot of them are just out for the best tech, and there will always be a market for them.

You post about PC games all the time then post garbage like that?

 ?

I'm in the market for a desktop upgrade in the next few weeks....   a $400 investment gets me a decent dual core, motherboard, and 4 gigs of nice DDR2 setup to crush what I have right now.....   and certainly a lot more productive functionality than a video game console.  I should be able to play games infinitely faster, as well, with better graphics.  (I'm an entry level musician that needs number-crunching horsepower)

You need 4 gigs of ram and a dual core processor to create music?  How exactly does creating music require "number-crunching horsepower"?  Is the current system you have not good enough for creating music or are you predicting weather patterns, simulating nuclear explosions, designing aircraft, studying atomic structures, etc?  Lets use "Wii logic" for a minute.. If the computer you have can play games with "good enough" graphics, can be used to create music well enough, surf the web adequately, etc, then why do you need a new computer?  Are you just one of those people that BenKenobi88 mentioned that just wants the "latest and greatest technology"?
