Will the Wii Work?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday September 20, 2006 @07:37AM from the like-a-charm-or-an-anvil dept.

Today BusinessWeek is running an article asking Will Nintendo's Wii Strategy Score? With the Tokyo Game Show this week, they run down the trials facing Nintendo's little-box-that-could both here in the States, and in Japan. From the article: "Few expect truly dedicated gamers to choose the Wii over the PS3 or Xbox. And ultimately, the advantage may go to Sony. Yuta Sakurai, an analyst at Nomura Securities in Tokyo, expects the PS3 to sell 71 million units by 2011, compared with 40 million units for the Wii. Microsoft, meanwhile, is planning a stripped-down version of the Xbox without a hard-disk drive and other accessories that will cost about $250 in Japan, where the U.S. software maker has endured disappointing results."

I plan on getting a couple of those PS3s when a variant of BSD runs on them.

Don't actually plan on getting any games, I just want a cheap and powerful computer, subsidized by a company known for being anti-consumer.

I plan on getting a Wii too, and some games.

I also like the fact that I get modded flamebait if I point out that a bunch of anonymous fucktards are falsely modding people just because they have a different opinion.

Assholes.
