i love the fact that to them "games" means gorefest cause apparently Conduit and Madworld were the only games released on a wii in the last year or so. it's funny how the same people were hyping LBP on ps3 not long ago.

Actually it's a way to make a lower cost system so that they finally start making money off it.

thats not an advance, unless you are fanboy, Third party think of demographic, unless wii third party games start selling like 360+ps3 ones they won't care.

thats why market share it's for, it's not a penis size competition.

Can't it be both?

If these Chinese parts we have been hearing about hold up, then this was a great move. If the failure rate of the PS3 skyrockets and that gets a lot of coverage in the mainstream press, the damage to the Sony brand name could be irrepairable; Sony charges premium prices for many of its electronics products, and can only continue to so long as people trust the name.

(Sony dodged a real bullet in this regard four years ago when the OEM laptop manufacturers forced Sony to recall hundreds of millions of laptop batteries; there were so many people in the press and internet forums who were misinformed as to who was to blame that most of the GP never realized it was all Sony's fault, and never noticed that the OEM maunfacturers willingly took the PR and monetary hit to protect their customers while Sony denied the issue existed for as long as possible)

Fox News taking over gaming?

I hope we get the equivalent of John Stewart and Stephen Cobert.

This.

Nice video. I loved it.

What I find fascinating is how they just hugely misinformed, when they're supposed to be "educated journalists." It's a fact that the wii sells more third-party software than the PS3 or 360.

Not to mention the complete ignorance of the Wii's lineup! They say that the wii has no games, yet it has one of the most impressive lineups of all the systems for the next year. They're Q3-Q4 lineup this year is really awesome as well.

Gaming Journalism have little in common with proper Journalism, most of those dudes are bunch of fanboys that need to grow up.

Nintendo can't lose, the Wii has gotten such a massive following that everyone knows someone who got it. And even though I personally don't care for it's games or controller I can see why someone would want to have one after trying it at a friend's house. It's a family console much like the PS2 in it's Eyetoy period and later years. We also shouldnt forget that Nintendo isn't dropping the Wii's price so people won't wait for a pricedrop but there are always those who do wait. If the Wii would ever drop in price then it would be 2008 all over again. Wii won this generation, no doubt about it. But in my book Natal/PS Wand will start a new generation, a generation that isn't marked by a new console but by new hardware and software technology. Sony and Microsoft will use their cheap HD consoles + motion controls to win the casual gamers market and since the Wii is old news at that point they might succeed. But they would butcher each other and neither would be a PS2/Wii success story. No doubt Nintendo would return a few years after that with their latest tech to pick things right up where they left.
