You know, I've read the exact same review for the Wii about eight times already. I fail to see how this is any new contribution to the Wii review that couldn't have been read in a Arstechnica, 1up, IGN, or Gamespot review already. What are they doing? Making you all write a persuasive essay for your high school English class I assume?
Ummm, aren't these NASA people paid to figure this shit out? I mean, sweet Jesus, if they can't figure out a clock glitch, who knows what kind of impending Armageddon they overlooked.
It's easy to discount someone for a grammar/spelling mistake without reading it. Use quotations around a "word" that you emphasize. It is very POOR use of grammar. None the less, you are a degenerate asshole. Go rub your dick and read some more Slashdot.
Everyone gripes about hardware, but software also plays a big part in the game. Rouge Leader and Rebel Strike hold up immensely well for their age (five years and two years respectively).
Nintendo has proven in the past the concept of software versus hardware. I even recall Nintendo's Phil Harrison (in an old EGM) speaking about Pokemon and how crude 8-bit graphics still appeal to people who like the games. It's not all about visuals but how a person can manipulate and immerse themselves to what is presented on screen. It's about control, simplicity, and possibly human addiction (Duck Hunt)
Sure, Sony and Microsoft have the specs. Specs = Potential. Same goes for Nintendo and it's controller, it has potential.
In reality, it all boils down to whether a person will believe numbers, visuals, and/or how a person can immerse themselves in the challenge in a game.
It can even be boiled down to whether people enjoy a game as an interactive movie, or means of it acting as a holodeck.
Interactive Movie- Cutscene to Cutscene (Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid Series
Holodeck- Where you embody a character through a story (Half Life 2, Zelda, Shadow of the Colossus)
There's so many different ways this can be looked at. I could write a paper about all of this. I probably dove into this deeper than I should have.
It can only get worst. Its going to go from 300,000 units to 200,000 units to even lower numbers. People outraged with the shortage that have stood out in line for hours will throw down their empt.... wait, you know what... what people, everyone's getting a Wii.
The manager said it depends on the store. He was reluctantly to give out exact numbers. He asked me if I wanted "just one" pre-order. Sadly, I only had money to put down for one.
I know EB Games and Gamestop don't have huge allotments. 18 IS the maximum as far as I know... ummm 4 are usually reserved for employees... but you didn't hear that from me..
but cheeky marketing ploys and outrageous hype are customary maritime tradition... it makes the fact of owning one worth owning one because you know there's someone out there that isn't going to be enjoying Wii Sports and Mario Galaxy on Nov. 19th.

Slashdot headline ten years from now... "Creators forgot to implement 1337 speak into translator matrix..."
