Too bad controller latency haunts the Wii, and will for the system's existence. I'm keeping my eye on the PS3 / 360 release of Time Crisis 4, which will come with a gun that presumably works for all displays. If there's any kind of gameplay which really highlights controller latency - as any of the several reflex-heavy aim-&-fire minigames on the Wii make painfully apparent - it's the gun-type gameplay. So Namco will have little choice but to use aiming technology that doesn't exhibit the crippling flaw inherent in the Wii's remote.
Granted, for the Wii's target audience of young children and their parents, controller latency is less of a concern. Actual gamers do notice these things, though.
Correct. The point is that they're all cars but that doesn't change the fact that we're talking about two distinctly different markets. Anyone with a bit of sense would know that the comparison is ridiculous.
Sorry, the Wii invented its market and it is completely separate from that shared by the next-gen consoles. The Wii's market is the cheap family - especially any parent who thinks the Wii is going to be an exercise machine. Sony and Microsoft's strategies have very, very little focus on families.
Saying the Wii is blowing away the "competition" is sort of like suggesting that the Honda Accord is dominating Corvette and Porsche.
People seem to be forgetting that Rove had already utilized non-government computers for 95% of his governmental correspondence. Just because the other 5% is equally damning (hence its completely anticipated disappearance) is no reason to forget about this equally crippling illegality.
