wii = not a civic but probably more of a small sports car like an MG, they are hard to find small cheap and not really powerful but awesome with great maneuverablility!

ps3 = obvious right here! freaking hummer H2! HUEG powerful expensive ugly and only idiots would buy one (i kid i kid! :lol: )

360 = the range rover to PS3s hummer, not as big but still large and powerful less ugly and sorta cool

nes = 55 chevy, a classic that there were many made and is insanely popular still and sometimes sells for more than its worth

snes = 57 chevy! a lot like the 55 but even more popular and expensive!

virtualboy = EDSEL impressive but a massive commercial failure!

sega (consoles) = oldsmobile (company)l, long running never the absolute most popular but still in the forefront that gradually started to suck but had some real gems and finally faded away after a real good run

im sure i could come up with more lol
Now that description is accurate and legit.
Valve is the best company.

The PS3 would be a Lambroghini, because it's big, fast, powerful, expensive, and very few people have them.

The 360 would probably be something like a Mercedes. They're reasonably powerful, somewhat expensive but apparently not out of most peoples' budgets.

The Atari 2600 can only relate to one car: The classic Volkswagen Beetle. Why? Both were made for an insanely long period of time, remained virtually unchanged, and many people still like the things to this day.

And I couldn't help but stick this one in...

Windows is like any car made by Kia. Why? They're both relatively inexpensive, churned out by the buttload, and come with a huge warranty (update) period to go with the hundreds of problems found with the product.

Got any more? I only ask that you be fair: please give positives and negatives, don't just bash one product and praise another. (You know.)
I agree with everything but the 360, the 360 is not that expensive, its would be more like a Ford Mustang GT.

the 360 is not that expensive
the premium is 400$ right? to put that in perspective:

that is 1/3 the price i paid for my 1954 oldsmobile

that is 1/4 the price we paid for out 1994 lebarron

that is 2/5 the price we paid for out 1997 cavalier

so in my opinion, yea it is that expensive! :lol:

Even the Wii is expensive in my eyes! $250 should really be pushing it in the world of video games. :P

I don't even think the PS3 classifies as a car, mebe a tank.

The N64 would have to be a 5.0 Mustang GT....not very special anymore, but back in the day everyone wanted one!
WRONG!

The N64 is like a flying car with every gadget possible and time-travel capabilities and awesomeness. Only the steering wheel would be shaped funny.

so the n64 was a de Lorean?

A car that was the cause of many drug runs and the reason the creator of such went to jail? (he planted his name on it, and even was the daddy of the GTO)

I would have to say the 2600 is my 68 Le Mans, because its heavy lol, has a 6 cylinder(number of switches), and there is black plastic with wood grain for the dash. i don't think anything could be closer, well maybe a Bally Astrocade.
