PS3's and happy endings for everyone!

Even with that it is still not worth $600.


sure bud, yet 10 year old technology is worth $250 ?

It's worth whatever the consumer is willing to pay...

According to ebay sales trends, the wii is worth more like $350.

and the PS3 is worth $550.

 

That said, it's not 10 year old technology. You obviosly have no clue about technology and/or the wii. A few of the things that did not exist 10 years ago that are include in a wii...

sd memory cards

Bluetooth

USB 2.0

802.11g

 

Not sure what the latest is, but 802.11g was not a standard until June 2003, which means it's at more 3.5 year old technology, and even if you think all the technology is the wii is that old, you would still be wrong...

 

actually, bluetooth is near enough to 10 years old (specifications formally ratified in 1998. SD is also about 8 years old. Bringing in this old technology doesn't really hel your cause.

Of course, this doesn't detract from the fact that the claim that the Wii is "10 year old technology" is completely laughable. My cellphone has barely more power than my old Pentium. Does that make it 20 year old technology? Of course not. The idea that technology only exists to push polygons is ludicrous

Of course, it won't stop him spouting his nonsense, but just give up on trying to convince him.
