Haha, what a silly article. I agree, the Wii can cure cancer!

not cancer.. it will help cure the "being a lazy fat a**" disease that the US seems to have.


Actually it won't work. Lazy fatass kids aren't going to play this, their parents are going to buy them for them to play and then the kid is gonna say: 'what the shit? This isn't a game, this is a damn exercise board'.

So much for Nintendo innovation, Wii Sports was something new but this is an exercise board that anyone can get anywhere but for some reason they are going to get it on their Wii instead....

 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I read somewhere that PS3 was lending its core power when idle to help calculations on a disease or something like that. Has anybody else heard of this? That would be a true help for disease.

I was in a shoot out earlier this week. I managed to pick off three bank robbers with a dead guard's 9mm. Only the Wii could've trained my wrists to react so quickly and accurately. Imagine if I owned a PS3. Not only would I have tried to aim using my thumbs, but I probably would've been shocked at getting any force feedback from the gun at all.

Thank you Nintendo.

 Great points as always.

Well as silly as some of the "facts" in this story are, it proves my point, Wii won E3 as far as the media is concerned, sure the gaming press may say one thing, but the press that most people will read will sing Nintendo's praises



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

That would be the case no matter what Nintendo did or Sony/MS did because Nintendo is the casual game maker.
