Well lets see here. Lets say I'm a parent. I bust my ass at work every day to provide for my family. I have some young kids, the wifey tells me to go get them a game console as a birthday/Christmas gift.

Looking at Best Buy.com for 2 minutes to see their retail prices + factoring in a $99.99 XBox 360 ... I can get

XBox 360 Console - $99.99 (lets assume this rumor is true)

Lego Star Wars Collection - $19.99

Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 - $19.99

Soul Calibur V - $19.99 (good for two boys)

Viva Pinata - $14.99

Skylanders (Starter Pack w/3 figures + base) - $74.99

Total - $250

Can't even get a basic Wii U for that. Explain to that parent why they should get a $300 Wii U instead. Good luck. Skylanders is the *hot* game right now for kids too, not any Nintendo property.

Daddy gets this, and the kids are very happy, the mom's happy too that you didn't spend an arm and a leg.


Wow! Good points, by the way, I think you should work in marketing.

Plus it would be nice to see Viva Pinata make a comeback.  I had kids recently tell me they liked it even more than minecraft.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!
