The sheer expense of developing the latest consoles, stuffed with eye-melting graphics, has proven to be an albatross for Sony. At least the 360 was built around established PowerPC technology and the more than suitable DVD storage medium. Nintendo have built a machine that, in my opinion, will only have a life of around 4-years, which is very short in modern cycles, but will operate at a profit and increase Nintendoâ€™s market share â€“ which would surely ensure it will be a commercial and strategic success.

Whether Ninty can continue to innovate and avoid getting themselves into a spec-war with Sony and Microsoft is unclear. Whatever Nintendo does, its rivals can and will imitate. People shouldnâ€™t begrudge Nintendo its time in the sun, after all, it was they who gambled on the collapsed post-Atari videogames market and created the valuable industry we have today.

Haha, cant handle the competition?
You must admit, no matter who you are, the Wii seems geared to make the largest impact upon the world of gaming as we know it today. In due time, probably sooner than later, it will leave the PS3 and the Xbox360 to be remembered as just another generation of consoles keeping up with technology.
The innovation and originality of the Wii has set a new standard for gaming in an age where simply upgrading your graphics is getting a little old.

the wii is similar to an iPod, something for all ages.

my dad loves playin the bowling and golf game on my bro’s and my bro is 24 and dad 50

even my mother enjoyed a game of bowling…..

the wii is more than just a gamer’s console, it allows so many oppurtunities it is quite magnificent….having long grown tired of playing my ps2 i revelled in playing the new wii and am hoping that good games are for the future, though red steel is excellent
