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.

No not "We" "You". The majority of console buyers couldn't care less as can be seen from the disparity between Wii sales and those of PS3. It's kinda weird how so called "hardcore" crowd think they make up the bulk of the world's population.

tuoyo hit it pretty good.  I think finalsquall, that you think the populace sees things through your eyes.  I personally don't think the majority of the populace, or even the majority of people who buy a game system, agree with you.  They don't have the same 'standards' as you.

Though, at the same time, at least you are not one of the people that is all insecure about their 'hardcore' games going away.  You know, those people that are all threatened by the Wii, casual games, and games they don't think are to their standards.  That go on all the time about how they are going to kill the industry and bring the quality of gaming down.  Ugh, thats what really annoys me.

I just disagree with you that most console buyers have your same preferences.  Or even your budget for gaming.
