I don't comment random crap posted by a random user on a random site.

I stopped reading when the poster confused accept with except.

why do people WANT to see Nintendo die so much >_

Are you gonna apologize for calling him a fanboy now?

I look at the Wiimote as the mouse of video game consoles. For those of you old enough, you'll remember a time when PCs were operated by a keyboard. When the mouse was brought to the mainstream via the Mac, a lot of the critics called it a toy for the computer illiterate. Anyone who was serious about computers didn't need a mouse after all. Surely computers should require skill to operate and a mouse was not necessary for everyday tasks like word processing and spreadsheets.

A lot of the criticisms for the Wiimote seem awfully similar to those leveled against the mouse. I believe a pointing device, like the Wiimote, will become a standard part of future consoles as the mouse is standard to PCs.

But unlike Apple, Nintendo isn't charging high end prices for these features. Imagine if the original mac sold for cheaper than other PCs. The last 20 years could have been dominated by Apple instead of Microsoft.

This is like asking how long will HD graphics drag the PS360?

The OP is worded wrong imo.

The question should read:

At what point will the consumers of the wii grow to want more out of video games, or reach a point where they desire the wii's motion controls to evolve beyond the rudimentary state that currently exists?

What % of these consumers care about ever seeing a video game that ultimately harnesses the power of what motion controls could be?

I believe the majority of current and future wii owners will be perfectly content with how the motion control idea is revolutionary, but how the execution of this idea is poor at best, for quite some time.

It just goes to show you.... Ignorance is bliss.

If you apologize for claiming I was "now" changing a position I had already changed weeks before.

I would love to go to his site and say "Ha-ha your favorite console has and is losing to my favorite console, Wii owns you noob, you should of picked smart and not HD." But I don't want to give that site the hits. =(

Quite a dilema.

Viao it's actually funny you posted these - I have a friend who actually believes full heartedly that the Wii is killing gaming, and that it's turning real gamers into... I don't know exactly how to express his expression.. but he did some body gesture and did a limp wrist action and said "wimpy gamers" or "girly gamers" or something along those lines. Sadly he said that to a bunch of people (including myself) who don't take the console war seriously and we either laughed or told him: "I'm sorry but I like beating all my games and enjoying them fully."Actually I told him that part >.> Of course he's a Cancer so he's very sensative =.=.
