hit the win button on the wii long enough and you gain intelligence points, then once you level up, a simple minded casual wii owner gains the brain power to control the oh so complicated 360/ps3 controller. The final level allows them to move up to the keyboard and mouse for gaming. XD

 

wow it all makes sense now, i will try that thanks for the tip

If they will say the same thing in a few years from now when Wii is 100million & Xbox360 at 40million?
We'll see. :)

 No it isn´t PC gaming will never be as good as console gaming and i am not talking about graphics.

The only genre that make PC better are strategy games and that can change with the wii mote.

you didn't just say that....

It's true that PC gaming doesn't get as many games as consoles, but when some do come out, they are (mostly)easy to play and fun. Thanks to the K&M or M&K.

And as for the wii & strategy games..... Has an RTS even come out for the wii yet? lol.
The wiimote is cool, but will never be as comfortable to use as the mouse and keyboard.

Wow, I can tell you people can read, but I do not think you can assimilate data very well.

What data? This guy's just talking trash. Don't mistake internet BS and PR for actual information.

 

 

so you didn't read it?

 

I did, but I guess I forgot to equip my magical decoder glasses to reveal the actual information.

Unless you're going to tell me that MS wanting the casual market is news.

the average person (casual) would probably rather get a playstation than a xbox 360 when "graduating" concidering that sony is a household name that equals quality.

.. atleast that's what i would say. I did the opposite tho.. ps3 and now wii.

That was a great interview -very fun stuff.

1. He didn't say the Wii isn't a gaming machine, he in fact emphasizes that it is a gaming console and part of the gaming market.
2. He's pointing out that their goal is to compete with Sony.
3. The reporter keeps on pressing for more information about the Wii - (scripted interview much?)
4. He sais the correct response as far as how the Wii is understood by the mass market.

I totally agree with what this guy is saying - but it wont be on a wide spread phenomina that Wii owners suddenly buy an Xbox360 and the two coexist. Microsoft is finally taking action though - by making 'casual' games they are saying "we want to cooperate with Nintendo's strategy." So what he's saying in that context makes sense but only in theory or on a smaller scale (like I said not likely wide spread.)

This is the point where Nintendo must show it's feathers - some people here forget that PR guys are just that, public relations, and that Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo are all open to the public - the public includes everyone and not just gamers. As far as I could tell he was talking to the small time investors - basically saying "We are making moves to get into Nintendo's market while taking Sony's."
