There are some stuff for it, I got mine back in 84, hard to think they would stick with just 1 sku for so long. Nintendo is brilliant.

Sorry for the Ninja edit, I realized I had written Wii instead of PS3 as I intended :P

Ha, Pacther. That's creative, I guess.

I was originally gonna correct dib8rman after I saw him switching between Pachter and Patcher in a single post, but then I saw Avinash_Tyagi spell it "Pacter" without the H, and I decided to run with it and just join the spelling-challenged masses.

no doubt in my Mind. The Wii is not only the console of the year but also the best console of this generation.

It was quite interesting... but to me, it's all about games (sales, expanding the market... I don't really care) and in 2008, the PS3 has been the console with the best games for my personnal tatses.

 

ha quite the ironic statement here.  You say to you it is all about games and PS3 to you is the best in that regard, yet state exactly that it is about personal taste.  Which to me the only way to determine what the best games are is based on sales.  The highest selling games are what the most poeple find enjoyble.  So even though I might find nintendogs horrible others love it.  Some might hate one piece unlimited adventure dumb, but my favorite Wii game I own.  Well alone game, obviously when people over other games skyrocket in value.

 

But to back yourself up you can easily claim the biased metacritic or something scores.  Which is retarded.  Like I have siad before having all those reviewers review some of the wii casual party games is like passing out a survey on the show Desperate Housewives to all the people in a spots bar on monday night.

He also said PS3 will explode in 2-4 years due to "Wii households" upgrading to a PS3 when they get bored of the Wii and their kids grow up to 10-12 years old.

I commend him for giving the Wii some points, but he's still the same generally clueless Pachter he's always been.

 

 

I'm pretty sure in 2-4 years Wii owners will be upgrading to a Wii2, and Sony itself will be moving on to the PS4.

Perhaps Pachter expects the PS4 to initially fail due to the PS3 stealing sales from it? ...

I'd really like it if they took their predictions to their logical conclusion. Sometimes it seems some of these analysts haven't devoted much time to their predictions. Either that or they have some deep theories they're not sharing.
