Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) is a Wii Fanboy

This weekend's box office hit was not only a great movie for Marvel Comic fans it was a great movie for Wii fans as well.  Iron Man is the story of a billionaire, genius, playboy turned billionaire, genius, hero.  So my question is if you were a billionaire with more money than you could spend in a 100 lifetimes and a genius who has invented Artifically  Intellegent  robots that serve as both workers and friends what video game console would you own? The "high-end" Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 with their amazing graphics or the Nintendo Wii with it's intuitive controller and love for games that are simply fun to play?

The answer is of course the Nintendo Wii.  When you go and watch "Iron Man" over the next few days be sure to take special notice as the camera pans through Tony's mansion and there on the stand under his flat screen TV is a beautiful Nintendo Wii all by it's self.  No PS3's or Xbox 360's not even a DVD player for that matter, just a Wii.  Apparently if you had billions of dollars and an IQ that is almost as high as your bank account the Wii would be the only source of personal entertainment that you would need.

So I guess the question of "Where does the smart money go when buying a video game console in 2008? has been answered for us all." Hey, if Nintendo feels that the Wii deserves a camio appearance in this season's biggest movie who am I to argue?

Good job falling for a cheap marketing ploy. OMG, the wii must be awesome if iron man uses it!! just joking around, but dont read into it too much...

Sorry I don't have a screen shot of the scene but if anyone does you should send me a link to it to put here.

Marketing ploy? Of course! Cheap? Maybe not.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster923d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
