IBM Announces Wii Chips In Nintendo Hands

simoniker writes "IBM has announced that the 'Broadway' CPUs created for the Nintendo Wii have been shipping from the company's East Fishkill, N.Y., fabrication facility since earlier this year. Nintendo, it would seem, is ramping up for the launch of their next-gen console in a month or two." Joystiq and Kotaku have the news as well. From the article: "Nintendo has also confirmed their reception of IBM's chip: 'The first chips are in our possession,' said Genyo Takeda, Senior Managing Director/General Manager, Integrated Research & Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd. 'Today's milestone marks the final stage of our drive to reach both core and nontraditional gamers with an inviting, inclusive and remarkable gaming experience.'"

I disagree. I am clearly smarter than you, since I can read, and you merely come across as a Nintendo fanboy - not a bad thing in itself, but certainly nothing to brag about, and not really adding anything to the conversation.

The point of my post was to make fun of you, in a humourous way, and to waste a little time at work. I achieved all of this, so thanks.

And you are still a cheeseball!
