Point was, most of you are finding ways to sugar coat it so that it isn\'t "that bad".

Yes, it\'s called damage control. I don\'t see how anyone can even downplay the Wii right now. It\'s a system, it\'s cheap, and it has good games. What\'s the matter? Oh that\'s right, we gotta make it look bad so this other system won\'t.

That and it has a "gay" name.. Oh and it doesn\'t have a normal looking controller.. Fear anything different.

 No. It happens to have games we like, performance that impresses, a nice feature on the controller, BR drive, a standard HD etc on top of the bad things like the price and the fact that one version has features the other one doesnt.
 The 360 didnt have any of these.

 The price and 2 different versions just ruins some of the excitement but its not enough to overshadow the other features

 And also what default said

So anyone else watching this Nintendo presentation? The damn controller works great, people are playing it and it looks fun.

Also, the standard HD feature is moot. Developers still allow caching regardless of the availability.

The controller is actually playable. Some games I did not care about, some games just seemed like total awesome. The new Link game supports the controller.

- Super Mario Galaxy
- Red Steel
- Metroid Prime: Corruption
- Legend of Zelda

Those four will definitely be the top games for the console. Fucking awesome previews for them. They did not mention a new Super Smash Brothers game.

The Microsoft conference will be on in three hours.

I never argued that franchises was bad - it is how the franchises are handled. If the game uses the Wii controller to make the franchise more fresh, then more power to them. That is what I\'ve been saying all along.

FRANCHISES = Great.

Franchises that never change = BAD.

How hard is that to understand?

$250 isn\'t cheap? But $600 is worth it?
I\'ve heard it all now. How cheap do you think the Wii should friggin\' be? Not debating the price of the PS3, just not sure what you consider "cheap".
