The funny thing is, every analyst that said they have done research about how Wii games sell and how 3rd party performances are, but they haven't shown one shred of proof.

All spin.

Nintendo claimed at E3 that Wii was moving toward a 50-50 split of men and women. Historically, consoles/portables were 70-30 splits.

I suspect Wii is going to end up as largely a reconstitution of the NES audience with an infusion of PS2 owners and maybe 20-50m people who never owned a console before.

Final numbers may look something like:

360 - 45m - 20m Xbox owners, 15m PS2 owners, 5m GC owners, 5m people who never owned a console before (either kids or new gamers)

PS3 - 65m - 48m PS2 owners, 5m Xbox owners, 2m GC owners, 10m people who never owned a console before (either kids or new gamers)

Wii - 150m - 67m PS2 owners, 14m GC owners, 1/3 of all PS3 & 360 owners (33m), 36m people who never owned a console before (either kids or new gamers).

People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

When there are more laws, there are more criminals.

Well we can say one thing for sure and that is that the Wii is being played by people who are between the age of 1 and 100+ years.

hell now I even have to buy a Wii Fit for my 60 year old mother....

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints
