Well we're smart enough not to spend $600 on a console that doesn't interest us that much....maybe that's why the people have so much money, cause they don't waste much on games...

I can understand the low playtime for the next-gen consoles...there's really just not many games out right now...lots of Wiis and PS3s are doing nothing right now...later this year it will be considerably different I'd bet, around holidays anyway.

reminds me of the president of royal bank of canada (or somebody in that ilk) said about credit card debts--"i'm not rich enough to wrack up credit card debts".

paying $600 for just a game system, any game system, is just bad decision, period.

the Wii is an epidemic.

You don't rich by throwing away money

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)

I don't understand what you mean by street cred. Just because someone makes 6 figures doesn't mean they aren't hardcore. In fact they are more likely to have played more games than a low income home because they probably own more games, since they make so much money.

I was totally joking.

Current systems owned: Wii, 360. I'll get a PS3 when hell freezes over!... or when the price drops to a reasonable level. Whichever comes first.
