Reporting good news for the Wii is just to get under the skin of 360 fans? Well, I guess no news can be posted, then, because any news about any console that's good will annoy fans of other consoles, and any news has to do with one of the consoles or PC, even if its indirectly.

I think the Wii being so close to the 360 is pretty big news. It's going to pass this week or the next at this rate.

A year lead down to a tie in less than a year is huge, and shows Nint...

So let's get this straight. The Wii graphics are only slightly better than the GC. The GC graphics were slightly better than the PS2. Now, together, we should see the Wii graphics are much higher than the PS2, but according to you, somehow going up two steps leads you down one?

It's not as powerful as the 360 or PS3, but that doesn't mean its graphics are bad, or last gen.

I don't think there is need to feel pity for those of us who have been gaming for more t...

There's no question the Wii doesn't give the same experiance as the PS3 and 360.

Let's hope Sony and Microsoft learn that the gaming experiance is more than just graphics and catch up to the Wii on overall experiance.

Of course, by then, we'll be playing Nintendo's next system that offers a better experiance than the Wii, PS4, and Xbox Big Number, anyway.

Ouch.

I guess the roster update for Pokemon is bigger than the one for Madden. Neither adds a lot of must-have features from the previous version, though Pokemon has been out long enough that most people who want it should have it, when compared to Madden.

I feel like we've been to the point that graphics are good enough for a good 5 years. Last gen, even the PS2 had graphics good enough to make a graphics catagory obsolete.

Really, anything you do when rating graphics depends a lot on the game. Mario Galaxy will do anything but look lifelike, but so far, the graphics look great, and it fits. Halo couldn't pull off the same look, but its graphics, really, are no better or worse, just different.

Any game that loo...

Starcraft is 100% harcore. You just can't have it any other way. They'll have no problems with that.

My only worry is for the balance, because, so far, it looks like Terran is going to be the best race, by far, and we've only seen a few units.

You have to trust Blizzard, though. They don't make bad games.

PS2 was the weakest last gen console. The most powerful consoles don't always win the war. Xbox and GC were both much more powerful, but they never were the future.

Why would the PS3 be any different?

The war won't end for a long time. Think about it, really. Only a small number of people with TVs have HD. The war won't end until a majority of people choose a side, and the majority won't even have interest in choosing for a long time.

Too many other good formats will be out before anyone wins.

HVD players will likely be out and be affordable enough for some people to buy.

However, I think the PCD will probably actually be affordable before th...

I believe it was 40% of PS3 owners even know about bluray on their mechine, and only 50% of that use it. So you would be one of the vast minority, being 20% of PS3 owners, that enjoy watching your movies.

HD-DVD could deal a deathblow to bluray this year, if there is a massive price drop, say to about $100 for a cheap stand alone HD-DVD player. Might as well go for broke with the price advantage, because Sony is already taking heavy losses to stay competitive, and $100 HD-DVD...

This wouldn't happen on any large scale. It would just be a bad move for Microsoft. Think about it. Brand recognition means a whole heck of a lot. People will buy a DS, get, for instance, Halo DS, and if they like it, which will be the line of thought.

Halo is made my Microsoft, so I should get the 360.

OR

Halo is on the DS, so I should get the Wii, also made by Nintendo.

Most likely, your average consumer is going to go by the c...

PC gaming isn't about to die. However, I do believe it will slow down. No one wants to have to spend a lot of money to upgrade their computer every 4 months to play the newest games. It's good to push limits, but not as much as PC games are doing now.

PC gaming offers the best online experiance you can get, period, and if for no other reason, that will keep it alive. However, because of the lower costs of console gaming, I do believe that PC games will need to slow down and...

Wow...just...wow.

You honestly thing that the Wii is just a GC with better controls? And on top of that, you think that the people making the GC/Wii parts just decided to raise their price at the time the Wii started being made, leaving Nintendo with the same profit?

Of all the crazy things I've heard, that's the craziest.

First, the Wii is totally different from the GC. It's not a GC 2.0. Heck, if you notice, the Wii is the only next-gen consol...

May you never get to another SB to come only 1 yard shy of winning.

I won't say stay out of the playoffs, just lose to us there, too.

Ouch, but...true.

Farve wasn't the one going though solid matter, though, but where his skills are currently, and on the Packers, I'm not even sure that would make him a great QB.

In America, consoles are designed to get out of the world and dominate your living room.

In Japan, consoles are designed to get out of your living room and dominate the world.

Yes, my jokes are bad, but I couldn't resist.

ToeJam didn't make the list?

It's every bit as bad as Boogerman, in more than a few ways.

Halo will move some systems, but not as many as so many think, because the people who want Halo 3 probably mostly have a 360 already. Halo 3 will increase sales, a lot right away, because of people who want Halo 3 and don't have a 360 yet, but I doubt it will be as big or long as some people think.

More concerning to me is that you say Lair is based on fiction, and you imply Halo is the opposite. I 100% promise you Halo is based on fiction every bit as much as Lair. If peopl...

A. Not all Wii games are selling well. Wii games that are well thought out are selling well. Alien Syndrome isn't exactly flying off the shelves and into Wiis, either. It's just not a huge game. Boogie has the same problem.

B. Party games are saturating the market right now. Really, its become clear the Wii doesn't need anymore, which is one reason everyone should have expected it to fail. Family friendly...a lot of games are family friendly, which, I suppose, gives Bog...

I think a better question is who DOESN'T want to get healthier while playing video games.

But that's not what you asked, so...*raises hand*

Boogie bombs...is anyone really suprised?

I love they're trying something different, but this was a sad attempt to profit from how popular both Guitar Hero and Wii are right now.
