The wii will be bigger than the PS2.

So the appeal for just gaming is slowly slipping away. We all want standards i.e. chat, video chat, music, picture slides, achievement charts, online competition etc We as gamers are accustomed to the new standards that gaming consoles have become.

Don't you see that as a problem?, i am pretty sure i have heard you call your self a hardcore gamer b4, and yet you have accepted that the appeal of just gaming is slowly slipping WTF? so now people should be buying media players which just happen to have elements of gaming attached to them, well call me a bitch, and thats what you a "hardcore" gamer believe. I have seen you rip into the Wii time and time again yet it seem to be the only console that is just that a console, do you realise people are buying the Wii just because of games, you probably complain about mini-games yet you are talking about other media attached to a console which is not even a game, the hypocrisy, not saying PS3/360 do not sell on factor of their games , but it annoys me when i hear somebody is buying a PS3 for Blu-ray not an actual game. Now in order to buy a console you need an incentive's like media playing capabilities, what happened to the good old days when we just wanted console to play fucking games?

The truth is, a lot of these so called hardcore gamers think like this dude i have quoted above, yet they would be hypocrites enough to blast a mini-game or the fact that the Wii does not play DVD's. When i get my PS3 it will be on the strength of games, not a fucking Blu-ray player, now its a nice added feature, but never a feature that made me want a PS3.

I think this is a problem nintendo saw, they said if gaming did not change its ways and started including new people and taking a lot more of a fresher approach then another form of entertainment would disrupt and eventually over take it. I tip my hat to them, i love games, i don't care what console their on, i just love games, and blu-ray or movie downloads want help contribute to the popularity of games, only games can do that. Some of you really need to get a clue

 Thanks mate :D  anyways what I'm saying is as gamers today we expect more from a console - Online Chat,  music to streme during game play etc.  I'm not saying that there is a shift from games or that I want all other extras instead of games. I'm saying that we want more interactivity with the game and others. You take away voice chat, friends list and messaging from a xbox live subscriber and you'll so pissed people off.  Gaming is evolving and it now incorporates other mediums - which enhances games and the console.  

On a personal note - I don't hate mini games - I hate wii sport and crap like that.  I still play old skool games... so go figure. No need to make a personal attack because you feel offended.  Not my fault you like cheap crap over quality.  Just enjoy games like everyone else.   

@bold part.  Correct, but many people fail to accept that it evolves in many paths and directions.   The direction you mentioned is towards PC gaming.   Not a bad or wrong direction, just not the only direction.  There are millions of gamers out there that simply want games and aren't looking for the PC like experience.   The growth in the industry allows both paths to be explored without harming each other.
