Peter Moore Plugs the Wii60 Again

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the truly-a-beautiful-marriage dept.

Next Generation is reporting that Peter Moore has once again raised the concept of the 'Wii60', a gamer who has chosen to buy an Xbox 360 and a Wii, instead of ... that other guy's product. From the article: "In a canny piece of anti-Sony propaganda he said, 'Dual platform ownership of Xbox 360 and Wii could be as high as 40% depending on what territory we are talking about. The influence of the Wii-60 movement seems to be growing enormously.' ... But the mischievous Liverpudlian could not resist expressing some doubts about Nintendo's machine. 'The controller is innovative but it remains to be seen how innovative your shoulder will feel after an hour's play.'"

    How innovative do your thumbs feel after 60 minutes of Halo?

      He's probably heard of all of the injuries people accumulate doing these voluntary activities, though. Hell, tennis has an elbow injury named for it. I haven't yet heard "video game thumb" as a common injury term thrown around in physical therapy offices.

    The Wii60 Plugs Peter Moore

    That sounds much funnier, although it does have a slightly gay overtone.

    The question for me is whether owning a Wii on its own is going to be a satisfying enough experience."

    I know my wii brings me lots of satisfaction...

    It's sad when choosing an installation directory on your own qualifies you as an "advanced user."

    well seeing how most gamers play with their wee for 10-15 minutes with a few minutes between for hours on end I'm sure they could handle it.

    I doubt your shoulder will be any more sore than after an hour's play of real football, baseball, or tennis (or killing people).

    If the biggest problem with the Wii is that it's more realistic than the others (and apparently fun enough to play until you're sore), then props to Nintendo.

      If your shoulder is getting sore after an hour of killing people, you really need to improve your techinque. Work smarter, not harder.

  9. Who is Peter Moore? by kabocox · · Score: 4, Funny

    I went to wiki to find out who this Peter Moore guy was..

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Moore
    Peter Moore (chemist) (born 1939), professor at Yale University
    Peter Moore (Microsoft), Microsoft executive
    Peter Bullfrog Moore (1932-2000), Canterbury Bulldogs Rugby League official
    Peter Moore (serial killer) (born c. 1940), British serial killer
    Peter Moore (travel author) (born 1962), Australian travel writer
    Peter Moore (Australian rules footballer), winner of the Brownlow Medal in 1979 and 1984
    Peter Moore (politician), leader of Sheffield City Council, Yorkshire, England

    Comparing the pictures, it turned out to be the MS executive. I was just wondering based on the comments the guy was spouting if he was the politican or serial killer though.
