I think they're right, though for the wrong reasons. Ultimately, Nintendo has found the economic sweet spot. The hardcore gamer can be your early, day-one adopters, but you can also build immediately following a mainstream base, and you can build them together. It's only due to the heavily split overall userbase between Wii and PS360 that the distribution of core and casual titles, on both sides, seemed so haphazard. It's starting to balance, again on both sides. If everyone moves together, we can see the balance of full-market approach from the beginning, something truly excellent

Sony and Microsoft will probably be somewhat stronger, but we could see a 2-3x power differential with Nintendo's console, instead of the roughly 8x difference we're seeing right now

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

If all three next gen consoles end up with full motion sensing controls like the Wii has now, consider me a PC gamer from the next gen on. I want no part of that.

You won't avoid it: MS photocopiers are working full steam and XB720 and Win 8 won't use a pad or mouse anymore, they'll be replaced by MSMote, MSChuck and MSBoard! Ballmer is already testing a special reinforced MSBoard with the all new and disruptive game "Dance Dance Innovation: Where you wanna dance today?"

Seriously...He needs to invest in a Wii/Wii Fit PRONTO...

The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

And that's the least. Try painting his skin yellow, slow him down and put a beer can in his hand...
