Ah, what the hell - I thought there was a gag order on these guys?

Wasn't there just some research saying the Wii is the most played system of them all?

Maybe the number is skewed because their are a lot of Wii users?

Well I guess it's just PR because he's blaming the machine for the software's dilemma; if there is a dilemma.

That's the second person I've seen fooled by that.



 

Dallinor and Montana, I wished you guys took my posts a little less seriously. =(

But I will be fooled, also I'm over my obsession with hitting that kitty with a bat and have moved on to fetishes of slapping that thing off it's head with a whiffle bat.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

JH: The other point, I think, to what Peter said earlier, is that PlayStation products tend to be at the living room hub. Even if folks are playing playing the Wii and have a PS3, the Wii tends to stay in the closet, and the PS3 is...

PD: Yeah, I don't want to steal [CEO] Jack [Tretton]'s quote, but he's fond of saying: "Microsoft owns the office; Sony owns the living room; and Wii owns the closet." And that's an aggressive, probably quotable line.

But the point he's trying to make is something that we find backed up in a lot of our research and focus groups: that people who are playing the Wii bring it out when friends come over and then put it back away -- that the console that stays connected to the TV is a different system.

I don't know if that's your experience or of guys you talk to or the way you play the system marries that with some of the stuff we hear in our focus groups and in actual research, but we believe the PlayStation 3 is, again -- if you buy the PlayStation 3, you're going to connect it to your TV, you're going to connect it to the internet, and you're going to leave it connected; it's not going to be something you take out from time to time.

That's the whole thing...

 

Well that's the current state of my Wii. Don't know others.



So let me get this straight: Sony's gotten so desperate that they've resorted to calling Wii fans gay? Shouldn't their marketing department have outgrown that one in middle school?



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

darn :\ i thought they'd have said Wii owns the geriatrics ward.



Sony should worry more about actually making some money this generation instead of bashing the clear winner. I haven't touched my ps3 since I beat Bioshock in February and probably won't again until Fat Princess comes out. I still have plenty of games to play on the Wii though so maybe its the other way around Sony.



Sony should know their roles and shut their mouths before Wii Fit passes the PS3 entire installed base.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

LOL, so you didn't get it, jeez. He said, that it's not used often, not that people who are wii fans are gay.

If it's sarcasm than it's pretty bad attempt.



You know... I think we're going to see that executive gag order article again.

But this time it will be real.
