Is it just me or have they been attacking even Nintendo lately? More direct competition? Price cut confirmed?

Sorry, I over-simplified it. Still, sounds possible to me.

That guy makes me laugh so hard with his posts it's almost not funny anymore. XD

Great points!

I never said you have to be great at a game to play it. I stated that certain videogames have "learning curves". The games that the games Microsoft and PS3 mostly acquire under their belt have over a 30 minute learning curve just to play. Nintendo games can be picked up in 5-15 minutes or  sometimes even less. Casuals who don't normally care to play videogames, but will play for the party aspect of it will go straight for the Wii. There is no reason for them to go for the PS3 or the 360 just yet. It's interactive, it's fun, allows you to do far more than a HD console can allow you do with less buttons and alower learning curve (Which means you can jump right into the game with another person). Did you know how long it took me to get my friends who don't play videogames to learn Gears of War 2? It took them literally an hour to become somewhat comfortable with the controls and use them properly. Nintendo is the system alongside Sega which brought the wealth of gamers into the industry and Nintendo is STILL doing it. Sony cannot say they are responsible for this nor Microsoft. Sega is no longer making systems, but they left a great mark on gaming history.

There are 18 buttons on a PS3 controller

There are 14 buttons on the 360 (Which is why the directional pad sucks)

There are 8 buttons on a Wii-mote.

If a Wii owner wants to play an intermediate level game, he/she will refer to the retro SNES controller or the Gamecube controllers, which have more than 8 buttons.

I count 16 buttons on a PS3 controller not including the PS button thats never used in games. And its the same for the 360. I don't see where you got 18 from. So I will just ignore anything you say from now on. you cant count. :]

I think that he is counting the diredtional pads as two, one for direction and one when you push it down. If you do not count the directional sticks and just the ability to push it down you have 17, the PS button counts too ;)

i think the "Casual" wii owners are going to buy whats popular and whats popular is the x360.
not unless something else popular comes out and iphone or something

its all about being popular to the casual market its why they bought the wii in the first place.

you=correct

Sony jumping ahead in weekly sales in Japan is lead to increased talk of Nintendo being vulnerable.

LOL  Probable not as much fun as flaming "controls" cough cough!
