All I have to say is that I could have written a better Wii bingo article.

That is the worst ****ing piece of **** I have read all year. Wii-mote motion sensing is superior to the six-axis, which that guy misspelled once. lol I have owned the Wii since launch and I love it! Best console I have ever owned.



I'd like to meet the mother F&%#@R who wrote this article and...shake his hand. I like this article, i believe its all true. PS3 has the best technology out there. Except the part about 360, at first it sucked, but now i think they are making the systems better. I just got uncharted for X-Mas and its an amazing game, very innovative, great graphics, etc. Very fun.

I can see you playing super mario galaxy or a fun game like that by yourself, but would you really (like he said) be swinging around a controller around by yourself playing baseball?? They're great for a big group, but is it really fun playing yourself?

I will hand it to Nintendo though, sold 18 million in just over a year. Very good Business Savvy, if you ask me. But i think sony did the smart thing making a console focused on next gen quality stuff like Blu Ray which, you can deny it but, it will be the future of home movies, along with HD DVD. Nintendo could probably make a new system with better graphics/technology but keep the motion sensor controller and keep the price low.



I WILL RELEASE ALL OF MY POWER INTO A BOWL, AND THEN DROP SAID BOWL INTO THIS MAN'S HOUSE. THE RESULT WILL BE A CATACLYSMIC EXPLOSION OF FIVE HUNDRED MILLION TERATON YIELD IN A COMPRESSED SPACE, THEREFORE VAPORIZING HIM AND ALL EXISTING IN IT. FEEL THE WRATH OF MY BEAUTIFUL TECHNOLOGY.



I just thought I'd point out that axes is the plural of axis, making sixaxes actually a better name for the PS3 controller than sixaxis.

As for six access, I got nothing.



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Bet With routsounmanman: By the end of Q1 2008 Capcom WONT have announced a RE5 Wii Edition OR a new RE (classic gameplay) for the Wii (WON)

 

^ Pokemon red/blue was the best game ever for the gameboy. Thats not a comeback or anything, thats just my opinion, it was a great game. Your right, it was a fad. But i guess its still popular, the new one for DS has sold like 12 million



This guy/girl who writes the article contradicts him/herself as well. Apparently, Microsoft creates crappy OS (I don't necessarily disagree) so he switches back from Vista to XP, which is just another Microsoft's OS... I'm afraid not only the writer is a PS3 fanboy, he/she is an Apple fanboy as well, even if that's pretty presumptuous.

People make these assumptions, and think their knowledge over rules the universal fact. No, the Wii is not a fad. It will not be crushed by the Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. The Wii is a success. That is what it is. These people treat their opinions as if they were facts. My Xbox 360 never gave me any trouble, and the wiimote is by far, better than the Playstation 3's six axis controller, and all Sony fanboys know that. Was the Nintendo DS a fad? No. So why should the Wii ever become one? The Wii is so much like the DS, it's not even funny. They are both made out of similar material. They are both innovative. They are both cheaper than the competition. The Wii's success will only mimic the success of the DS. The Playstation 3 is so much like the Playstation Portable. They are both made out of the similar material. They are both power houses. They are both cheaper than the competition. It's as if these consoles will follow the routes of the hand helds, which is what may happen. Too bad there isn't an Xbox Portable, for the Xbox 360 to follow. Never-the-less, these fan boys only "want" the other consoles to fail. The important thing is what is happening "now!" Now, the Wii is a major success, the Xbox 360 is a hit in America, and the Playstation 3 is doing better. That is what is happening now! That is what truly matters most.
