Wii is not the champion. Wii is going to fail. Bad. And Wii will not rock me because Nintendo didn't come out of their slump of marketing to children by naming it Wii, of all things.gamer2 wrote:Wii Will, Wii Will ROCK YOU!
Wii are the champions!
it had to be done.
In terms of the PS3 price tag: Sounds reasonable, the thing is a freakin' super computer (it's absolutely ridiculous, too.), and to all you idiots saying it was going to be $800.00 your argument is officially void.
EDIT: To go to E3 you have to contribute to the gaming industry, and that's it. You could be a clerk at a Blockbuster and be eligible. And E3 is closed to anyone who doesn't have anything to do with the industry.

Let's not be throwing around insults, now. If you look it through, one will see that the Wii has a very good shot at becoming the next console great. Look at the business aspects; Nintendo's fanbase in Japan is now higher than ever because of the DS, and since the Wii will have DS compatibility, it will increase the number of players. Sure, the Wii may not be as technologically powerful as it's competitors, but it's marketing strategy (with the exception of the name) is not half bad. Notice I'm not mentioning the 360. Well, that's because it's not even in the running. Too many mistakes, too soon, and too little fan support. Bad marketing, as well. The fanbase is nonexistant for Microsoft in Japan, so bye bye, 360! The only department in which Nintendo is clearly losing is 3rd party support. Sony has some of the strongest names in gaming, i.e. Square-Enix (need I say more?). Nintendo hopes to conquer these powerhouses with mere Mario and Zelda games, which is not practical. Another advantage to the Wii is it's new way of playing games. I guarantee you that the Wii will have the most innovative controls ever. Oh, and when you throw in the fact that it can play old games AND emulated ones....Nicholai wrote:Wii is not the champion.

Or, do like I do and buy both the Wii and PS3

Hehe, you're a fanboy. And yes, I think the Wii and PS3 are gonna win. XBox 360 has no chance, it has yet to utilize the extremely hot (and when I say hot, I meaning physically hot) hardware. PS3 and Nintendo have the fans, and Nintendo attracts kids and adults.Nicholai wrote:Wii is not the champion. Wii is going to fail. Bad.

And don't say the Wii won't attract adults just because it's called Wii. I personally know many, yes, I know MANY adults, that are buying the Wii, regardless of the name.
Stop trying to force your opinion on us, it's like freakin' dejavu.

Who's the idiot now? It's not even official, just predicted.gamer2 wrote:I read that article too, they also said that Sony didnt confirm this. PSM said it would be the Minimum.

Haven't you noticed? The west hardly takes Nintendo seriously anymore, with the horrible failure of the GCN. And now the interactive wand? Yall see the Wii as innovative, but will all of North America? Hell no. PS3 will reign supreme, no doubt.
The west side of WHAT? Plus, the GCN placed 2nd if not 1st in the console wars, search the net.Nicholai wrote:The west hardly takes Nintendo seriously anymore, with the horrible failure of the GCN.

I'd hardly call the Gamecube sales "horrible". And you can't say that Nintendo doesn't appeal to the North American market, because that's bull crap. They sold more consoles than the Xbox, even in America. Also, you can't say Nintendo doesn't appeal to just kids. Let's see....Resident Evil 4, anyone? And various others.
Let me let you in on a little secret: most teenagers aren't in to classic games. They're looking for enhanced 3D graphics and what not. So what system will they buy?joevennix wrote:![]()
Whatever man. Revolution or wii, Nintendo will still do very well in the states. And with the Metal Slug series supported prerelease, how can you go wrong?
It's not like the Wii will become the next Gizmondo: even if they end up losing to the PS3, they'll still pull in tons of $$$$$
Why are we talking about Microsoft, the 360 is going to fall behind the Wii because they made stupid moves. But I can almost guarantee Sony's going to remain dominant.CronoTriggerfan wrote:I'd hardly call the Gamecube sales "horrible".
