heh do you all know that bruce here used to work for codemasters?(a while ago)

he's apparently done some good stuff over in britain.

so he is a professional.

unfortunately he seems to be on the side of more processing power/better graphics side of the argument on the console situation. a side that is currently not doing as well this generation as the innovative gameplay side.

he has his opinions, i have mine, you have yours.


Currently and for the near future the Wii is the "console" that will "win"

what he doesn't realize is the wii's ease of use, intuitive controls and just damn FUN games = everyone and their grandmother can play it, and like it.

what he also doesn't realize is most industry market people, analysts have had their balls busted by the wii so far. which means the WII has broken the old model of a console user.

this is what he is not getting, a concept that breaks the mold in time will reshape industries... THAT is what the Wii is poised to do. and if the sales continue for the next year, that is what the wii Will do. it is about 1/3rd of the way there, we just need to maintain the sales and have GOOD innovative Fun games to come out in the next year to complete the job.
You very obviously haven't spent much time reading my blog.
I have seen the industry reshaped many times since 1978 and am very happy that Wii is reshaping it again. I have said so many times in my blog, which you would realise had you read it.
However the current Wii machine, which has started the revolution, will not be the main event 3 years from now.
Some of the fanboy predictions I see in the signatures here are, quite frankly, pathetic. They are not grounded in anything resembling reality. It seems to be a willy waving competition as to who can put the biggest numbers in their signature. I have C&Ped some of these predictions onto a professional industry forum and they are causing much mirth and derision. Than you for giving us a good laugh.
