Apples to oranges my friend. The wii will deliver innovation. PS3 is a penis extension. If i have the cash i will be buying a few PS3s just to sell them and take the girlfriend on a vacation.

PS3 is nothing more than a beefed up ps2 no matter what anyone says. It will deliver superior graphics. In that department it will pown the wii. But nintendo doesn’t care. They are trying to change the way we play games, taking a fucillo huge gamble and i think it will pay off. Their theory is that you can make a game and have it be the greatest game ever made and you don’t need 15 buttons.

I don’t know about that but I did read in the paper the other day that Sony is having trouble mass producing some part of the blu-ray drive. They are only going to have 400,000 for the US launch, much less than anticipated.

Oh yeah, I can’t wait for the Wii.

Watching the demo for that i got a chub when the guy used the controller and the dongle attachment as a bow and arrow and link made the same motions on the screen. To me that is worth the 250 alone.
