Rumour: Wii-mote like controller for the PS2

amiga was like ps3 now...

IMO there are some parrallels to be made there, for one being ahead of its time due to its innovative design. The PS3 is somewhat similar in this regard due to the cell processor.

we cannot consider amiga a console.

The Amiga designers at first wanted to create an innovative computer system, which due to investor's interests was redirected to developing the ultimate gaming console, but also due to the games console industry crash of the 80s the full attention was again directed to build an amazing computer system.

Only with the release of the Amiga CD32 games console they again addressed their game console plans. The CD32 is similar to the PS3 in the regard that both could be upgraded into full computer systems. The CD32 could be upgraded with an internal harddrive to boot AmigaOS with internet access and allowed for peripherals like mouse, keyboard, printers, virtual reality headset and many other devices. BTW the CD32 did amazingly well in Europe for as long as they were available and was Commodore's main hope to save the company from their PC branch losses and management mistakes. Sadly for Commodore they were unable to meet demand due to component shortages which were a direct result of the company's bad financial position.

so in the end amiga and nes weren't on the same market

IMO the Amiga addressed the high end gaming market and the NES the lowend gaming market. A bit similar as is the case with the PS2/Wii (low-end) and the PS3 (high-end).

I think people like the most a machine that make one thing the best way rather than a machine that make many things the average way.

IMO if the 80s Amigas are compared with the NES, technically the Amiga was able to do anything the NES did, only a whole lot better.

tetris and super mario are not kids games...

they are masterpieces in games history.

Agreed, I only said that kids loved these games. I still love Super Mario World.
