Also, the point I forgot to touch on -- I'm not just talking about popularity here. I'm talking about popularity amongst those already fanatics. Wii and DS have done plenty to extend the market toward people who never really played games before. But they're also hella popular amongst gamers in general and Nintendo fanboys in particular. Now, that might not have any relevance to quality in your book. But by saying that, you effectively make quality a subjective phenomenon, and I'm forced to question whether you're secretly a Battlefield: Earth geek.

Ok it’s probably best if we steer clear of the controversial topics of computer game consoles and stick to something less inflammatory like euthanasia/abortion/Iraqi war.
It was rather funny, walking though the town today. Giant signs in the windows of Woolworths, Game, Gamestation and the like saying 'Yes! We Have PS3'S!' Not so long ago the signs read 'No! We're out of WII's!' There really does seem to be a bit of a backlash towards Sony and the PS. Whats is it with that? I mean, I'm not a huge fan, but I do have a old playstation and may get a ps2 - whatever you think of it, it's got a fair few amazing games... I just don't think Sony try as hard as Nintendo. What ever you think of Nintendo...you must admit, they have some talent. The amazing string of popular games they create. Pokemon, Mario, Advanced Wars, StarFox, Metroid... Who else can claim that? But I don't really wanna see the PS3 outta the market, it's just after seeing the Playstation slap my beloved N64 around for about 4 years straight (and then the poor Gamecube - rest in peace my little buddy), it'll be nice to see sony on the backfoot for a change.

Yeah, dialing it down would be a good idea. Might I suggest returning to my more lighthearted threads about Trek singers and mindless computer games?

They stopped pretending they cared, and just admitted that they were effectively out to grub as much of your money as possible. That, and the price is ridiculous-outrageous...

They want to "grub" our money?
 Does that mean eat it or are we digging in frozen dirt for worms?

Valium, care to clarify your apparent disdain for Wii Sports? Have you ever even played it? It's not really something you can understand from screen shots or commercials. You really have to play it to get it.

Wii Sports is awesome. I had my brother and his girlfriend over a couple weeks ago and they played it and are thinking about getting the console for themselves because of it. I had my parents over the other night and they played it and loved it. I had another group of people over and showed off Wii Sports, and they thought it was great (and some of these people are grandmother-age). It is awesome. You swing the remote like a tennis racket. What could be easier?

Why is a console wearing specs? Because a trapper has more lint than what's good for it.
(In case you're lost, it's an extremely old and lame joke based on Static Shock. Feel free to consider me three fries short of a Happy Meal now)
