I've had a lot of fun playing N64 and GC games, but overall Nintendo's slant seems to be towards the younger generation, and I can only enjoy Mario Kart and Mario Party and Luigi's Mansion for so long. Then I want to play some racing games, and there just aren't any! How about a D&D-style adventure game? Nope. A little co-op shoot'em'up, a la GRAW? Out of luck. Music? Can't play Frequency, Amplitude, or Guitar Hero on this toy. I think I'm going to have to decamp from Camp Nintendo and probably join Camp Sony. Yeah, I’m still not too sure about this Wii thing.

I'm not going to buy one because i don't really like Nintendo games that much. It's all about the PS3....Me and all of my friends are going to wait in line for that bad boy !!!

Ironically, I'll prolly wait till it drops in price. I think this will be the last console i pick up of the big 3. Ironically, I’ll prolly wait till it drops in price.

I mean, wii sports (which seems the best platform to show Wiis abilities) is going to be fun for like errr 10 min??? I dont imagine myself moving my arms like a spaz for more than that time. Same goes if you have a friend. It will be fun for a while but the exitement of moving your arms around dies quicky. I hope Nintendo does good, but I fear this will be more of a testing lab for things that could potentially be implemented in future consoles. Nintendos mistake was to center everything around that feature. BTW I also think the sixaxis is no big deal, the difference is Sony is giving you a choice to completly turn off that function alltoguether. Nintendo doesnt.

It's cheaper than the PS2 and XBox launch price, oddly enough, but not onlt that, I still feel that in the end, the Wii will be considered too gimmiky as well as the PS3's tilt controller. I'm still pulling for Sony though. Already have a 360 $250 eh?

I know a lot of people wanted sony to change up their interface, but it works, I think they will change it a little for the PS3 but not very much. yup….looks really good.

Have you guys taken a look at the Wii's interface vids? Take a look http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/wii_preview/presentation/07.html The photo album thing looks so much fun, Sonys dashboard thing looks so stale and boring compared to this. Good job Nintendo. Wii is going to be a success. Have you guys taken a look at the Wii’s interface vids?
