benkanobi, squirll dude.   PS3/360 game "ohh it can be ported" "theres no reason it cant be ported to the wii" "thersno reson it cant work on the wii other then graohics"

 WELL there is, wii is old gen technology.  It can't run what PS3/360 can, not just graphics but everything else.

Yes, similarly equipped - go look up the manufacturer's websites.

Here's two cars you can compare - the Ford Taurus with the Lexus IS.

I won't tell you a Mustang is as good as an M3 on the race track, but who said cars are about racing?

People buy cars for different reasons. I can tell you that a Volvo station wagon is far superior to an M3, not on the racetrack, but on the mom's daily afternoon pickup of her son and his five friends from the soccer team. In that aspect, it beats the M3 hands down, and absolutely demolishes the Mustang.

You have to stop wearing those horseblinds and stop thinking that the world thinks your way and your way only, when in reality not everyone perceives value in the same way you do. Just go ask the soccer kid's mom which car she prefers in her daily commute.

the wii isn't going to bad for "outdated technology" is it

I mean it is outselling all of its rivals in 2007 to date ;)

why even compare consoles with cars? makes no sense, they have different precieved values.

you can compare consoles to cars the day consoles drive me to work...

 I think its more of the fact that they're not denying it has weak hardware, but that its not as weak as people make out to be.

Try to defend your system instead of attacking others. Also, be more articulate instead of making curt replies to people that may ignite a flame war.

It's already been shown that it's not old technology. Such blatent falsehoods make every thing you post suspect.

The wii was built with new technology to make it smaller, more energy efficient with just a slight improvements to performance, improved control system, and lower costs. The lower support for graphics does not make it old, it just uses new technology differenct in it's design.

There are a lot of things you can complain about the wii, but calling it "OLD" technology is just simply wrong, Just because something is newer technology, doesn't mean it's more powerful.

So, unless you also consider the Xbox 360 "OLD" technology, stop trying to claim the wii is "old" technology. If you think the 360 is also "OLD" technology, then why don't you mention that too...

Hey... given games like wii sports and others using new control system...

PS3/360 is old gen technology. It can't run what wii can, just graphics but not anything else.

The average person doesn't know what's under the hood, just what he can see in games and the pricetag.

The average person doesn't also know Sony's arrogance and idiotic comments 

(Give money for every PS3 on the shelves, US are cheap people,etc), 

Nintendo's overpricing (hardwarewise and softwarewise-cool words!) 

and Microsoft's greedyness... 

 Wait, wait... do you know *anything* about marketing?  Price is one of the biggest factors in determining perceived value.  In fact, when price goes down, people automatically assume quality has, as well. 

There was a company that did a survey on a specific kind of meat... they found that (I'm making up numbers, but this is the general idea) 20% of the people were willing to pay $12/kilo, 40% were willing to pay $11/kilo, 60% were willing to pay $10/kilo, but once you got below that, the numbers went back down.  Why?  Because it's percieved that if you buy this kind of meat at such a low price, there's no way that meat can be any good.

A better example is why the cheaply-priced Deawoo will never outsell the equally-equipped, but more expensive Ford.
