Are you talking about the fact that it comes in two versions (the xbox 360 did the same, and both versions will run the same games anyway), or that the cell CPU will be used in more products than the PS3? If it's something else, please give me a source for that.Quote:

Maybe I've been under a rock or something for the last ten years, but I'm fairly certain Nintendo lost huge market share during the days of the N64, and didn't really gain any more with the Cube.Quote:

Could the Wii be the turning point for them? Possibly, and I'm certainly hoping so, but I'm not seeing it yet. And I'm honestly not convinced of the possibilities of the controller. So far I haven't seen it being used for anything that wasn't already possible with a regular controller or mouse & keyboard. When I see something truly unique and innovative for it that makes me say "this is fracking amazing, and would have been impossible without this controller", then I'll be first in line at EB to grab one. So far I just haven't seen a game that has me sold on the controller, but I'm still keeping my eye on the console to see what develops.
Try to keep in mind that that's only my opinion and how I see the Wii right now, so let's try to keep the freakouts to a minimum and just try to get along shall we? I do plan on playing one as soon as any of my friends get one so that I can try it out for myself and really see what it's all about. I'm just saying it hasn't won it's way into my heart (and my wallet) yet, though the virtual console makes it a tempting purchase.
It's correct to say that Nintendo had a direct hand in the creation process of the PlayStation. It's wrong, however, to say that the PlayStation would never have been made without Nintendo's involvement. That's all I was getting at.Quote:

great trends would most likely follow their lead console, meaning that i may miss out on future Final Fantasy and Silent Hill titles if i don't buy, xD. PlayStation 3 isn't the only console i'm planning to buy...
