Don't 100% agree with that but it is true that they catered more towards younger audiences, throughout the early 90's till a decade later.

I did enjoy mariokart for n64 and the good old days of duck hunting...
I think Wii is winning me over.

Don't get TOO excited, now.
The last thing anyone wants to do is make a mess playing with their Wii.

The only thing that i would excite me this much is a new bike like an R1 or GSXR1000.

You really have issues if your really think its all about graphics. Look at the NEO Geo CD, Atari Jaguar, and the 3DO had all good graphics. Yeah sure those systems didn't have the support like Sony but nothing looks great right now so its early. Plus Sony copying Nintendo Wii controller whic I might add sucks so bad on the PS3. Also is out already that HD isn't working on 1080p its actully bringing it down to 720p or 480 which is lame. but if works with 1080p your only getting SD quality. I love the bad rep Sonys getting because this evens out the battlefield. Only game thats looks awesome is Dragon Lair nbut thats it.
Nintendo is playing it smart with just 2x the graphics than the Gamecube but with a Zelda game on the release date thats freakin crazy and also you get to revivst older gfames from Sega Master System,Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, NES, Super Nintendo, and the one I am exicted about Turbo Graphic 16
(and Yan I pefer using my TV instead of my LCD monitor to play these games and also there is no Sega Saturn emulator that works)

Wii's controller still needs a wire..Thank god PS3's controller is now fully wireless. 2x the gfx than the gamecube? It's the same. Or maybe just a few shades better. :gsmile:

Not impressed? What game were you looking at? And as for the problems with the PS3...There are a few minor problems that can be fixed with a firmware or system update..The only major problem was people complaining about it being downscaled in terms of resolution for HDTVs.

Im considering the Wii. I was never a fan of nintendo, due to their games aiming at lil kids, but seeing all the vids with the new controllers and , i am quite amazed.
The Wii is aimed more at parents I think..As what was said @ E3..nintendo, imo, will always be for the youngins but I'll have one sometime before the spring anyway. Mario4Life..Dont forget it!

The third story I have to share is the answer to a question that people ask me all the time, “how did you have the idea for the Revolution’s freehand controller”. We started with a simple question: why is it that anyone is comfortable picking up a remote for a TV but that most people are afraid to even touch a normal controller for a game?
Our first meeting started in 2004. First we decided the controller must be wireless. We must give players freedom to move. Second it must be simple, non-threatening. But it should be sophisticated to serve the needs of complex games. And yes, we wanted it to be “revolutionary”. Finding an answer to all of this was not easy. For more than 6 months two people in Nintendo did nothing but produce sketch after sketch. Each led to more discussion. Dozens of prototype designs. All in all, 15 people were involved trying to figure out the answer. I was considering technology that would incorporate a direct pointing device…
Many good ideas were floating around but nothing felt revolutionary. Then last year a young team leader came up with a disruptive idea. What if you could play with just one hand? Mr Miyamoto quickly imagined a small simple wireless device. But we saw an immediate problem – how to do backwards compatibility to games requiring two hands? Mr Miyamoto had the answer – make the small wireless controller detachable..[..]. this sounded good, but when we shared the idea with our Metroid Prime producers, they objected. They said their game wouldn’t work with what we invented. They added another idea – keep the one hand device but add another device for the other hand if the game required, like this nunchuk device. We think this is something that will entirely change first person shooters. So now we really went to work.
What did it look like finally? Well… it looked like the TV remote control that we first imagined a year earlier: sometimes ideas are like good wine, they just need time. After all the mockups, we were happy. It was wireless, inviting to new players, and something brand new for hardcore players, plus a new interface. But it also represented something else. As you can imagine, this was a very expensive process, not just in research and development but also in manufacturing such an elaborate control system. Some people bet their money on the screen [being the most important innovation], but we put our money on the experience. This is an investment in market disruption.

I remember Phil Harrison being asked the question if they copied nintendo..And he did say no.. There was reasons..It was on IGN, but I can't find it now.
