Reality really is Wii-biased.

did anyone listen to the ign gamesages podcast 2. The topic is innovation.

They wait for the main wii editor guy to leave the room, (he gets called out for a meeting or something), then they tear into the wii.

primarily discussing how one of the most anticipated and best games for the console SSBB will not be "innovating" anything. It will be great, but the fact that the game will primarily use the gamecube controller since the motion controlls are not good for that game apparently. brings about the comment from Damon Hatfield, "do you think the wii controller is just a vehicle to get people to buy the console?"

But as it has been stated, it makes perfect sense that if you dont have a $4000 pc, you would own a PS3 or 360. So if you do own a capable gaming pc, then some would dislike the PS3/ 360. (since they can play those games on pc) IMO

--The next statement is one of opinion, and shouldn't be taken as fact--

But Nintendo is not the same at all ... is it. so i could understand how pc gamers would consider representing the console market in their homes with the wii. This way nothing takes away from their gigantic all important extremely expensive gaming computer.

Funny story. My "gigantic all important extremely expensive gaming computer" as you put it cost me a total of $700. It runs every single multiplatform game to date on max settings and 4XAA, with framerates nearly double that of their console counterparts (usually over 50 FPS). This includes CoD4, Bioshock, and The Orange Box.

Now, you probably bought your PS3 at launch right? For the low low price of $600? See, for $100 more, I bought a PC that plays all your games better, and also has all the functions of *gasp* a PC. That's right, I can using amazing technologies like Word Processing and photoshop. Not to mention I pay $10 less than you per game for games that run and look signifficantly better. Crytek says they'll reveal a $600 PC at GDC that can play Crysis on max. How do you justify your console spending when compared to that?

PS: The fact that those losers didn't have the balls to insult the Wii while there was someone in there to defend it really says something about the maturity of IGN's editors.

Wow Naz, you sound like me =P

Always pisses me off when people spout off about how a nice PC rig is $4000 etc...If they actually ever tried to build a PC or even bothered to price the parts online they would quickly find out just how wrong they are. 

Keep on fighting the good fight!
