as for the Wii 2 thing, Iv mentioned thsi several times,

Nintendo follows a Revolution/Perfection system

NES was a revolution in 2D games and story based games
SNES perfected 2D controls and stories in games
N64 was a revolution in 3D game control
GCN perfect 3D game control
Wii was a revoltion (no pun intended) with motion controls
Wii 2 will be the perfection of this.

I've never heard this, but I like it.

How come none of you are talking about The Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, Gameboy Micro, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, or Nintendo DSi.

Pixel Art can be fun.

Did Nintendo really have $17 billion revenue in 2008? I dont believe it, becasue it's more than 1/3 of MS.

Yep, it's true:

(although that link is in Yen)

@Lafiel... no it does not... it includes handhelds.

That's incredible. They're a giant.

Sony gaming (PSP PS2 PS3 + SW) is only like $5 billion revenue. And Xbox a lot less, something around $3 billion if i remember the VGC discussion correctly.

Year ending March 31st 2009 the game division made more like $10 billion revenue.... I haven't checked MS EDD but given it's 1 console (and Zune and a couple of other small things, but XB is 90% of the EDD revenue I think) it should naturally be less than Sony with 3 consoles.
