Peter Moore Plugs the Wii60 Again

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.'"

But how innovative do your thumbs feel...

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

The funny thin about running is that the first time you do it, you can barely finish a mile. You are out of breath and you burn. Guess what. After you run it a few times yor body gets the idea and things become easier. You become stronger, with greater endurance, and.. well healthy.

Tell me how this is bad? Besides, exercise puts a person in a better mood and wakes you up.. Prime conditions for innovation.

people seem confused

'The controller is innovative but it remains to be seen how innovative your shoulder will feel after an hour's play.'

People dont seem to realise that you arent going to be cocking your whole arm back and exert enough force to chop a tree down. There are plenty of gameplay videos, including videos of Madden, where its a simple snap of the wrist in order to pass.

Wii satisfaction

[Terminal Saint]

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...

Controller...

[remembertomorrow]

I don't think Slashdot readers will have any problem with arm stamina... :P

Unless, of course, they don't use their dominant hand.

That's Microsoft

[dahwang]

There goes Microsoft trying to piggyback off the anticipated success of the Wii. They know the Wii will most likely succeed and will try as much as possible to connect the 360 with the Wii. The fact that the article mentions a Wii, is free publicity for Microsoft. Pretty smart, I must admit.

Wii60 is idiotic

[Twiceblessedman]

Let's see, what can I get for the price of a wii60? I can buy a wii, with an extra controller and a few games. The people going around spouting this wii60 crap are just doing the marketing for Microsoft by jumping on Nintendo's coattails which is pretty much brand theft. They are just hoping that this will help their dismal sales as they are about to be trounced by the PS3(especially since they just announced some price cuts) and Wii this christmas.

Who is Peter Moore?

[kabocox]

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.
