I would even go further and say that this time, wii will see/feel what surround sound really mean to gaming experiments. <BR/><BR/>I've no doubt that this Wii-generation is just a steping-stone, a test from Nintendo's part for something much bigger. All comapny's strives to make their platform better in any directions, whether its in graphic or gameplay department, I just feel that Nintendo already have some of those in hands but will rather implement in relation to if Wii-generation will be sucessful or not. And that both Sony and Microsoft are watching carefully what this industry innovator does in comming next 5 to 10 years. I indicate to Sony's innovative implementation of the tilt-fuction to their dual shock gamepad. I'm not saying that Nintendo's hand are undirty. Take a look what they did after ArcadeLive. The point is that everybody steal ideas from eachother. But Nintendo just do it in somehow - better way. <BR/><BR/>ehem...I see that I was of topic now..sorry<BR/><BR/>:P<BR/><BR/>/SilverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1153378325814895012006-07-20T07:52:00.000+01:002006-07-20T07:52:00.000+01:00that bar graph shouldn't scare nintendo too much, ...that bar graph shouldn't scare nintendo too much, after all, they aren't targeting the hardcore gamer that orders stuff months in advance, they're targetng the people who don't play gamesfrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494008842959982949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1153365363127943612006-07-20T04:16:00.000+01:002006-07-20T04:16:00.000+01:00I'm thinking lazer tag with the wiimotes, they'd e...I'm thinking lazer tag with the wiimotes, they'd easily be able to recognize each other, the 6k would easily store a hit or miss.

Now think : People, who do preorder a PS3 are hardcore fans or rich people, but not the average. Therefore we must wait until you can buy the machines on the street market. The Wii and the PS3 will be like DS and PSP ! A powerful expensive machine (PSP) and an innovative cool machine (DS) ! And who did win ? Nintendo ! It will happen again, because the Wii is only the DS for the TV ! Nintendo will bring games like nintendogs or Brain Academy, and with this strategy they are going to conquer the market. Look at the Wii , look at his style, do you recognize the similiarities to the DS lite?? Yes ? Because this is the new Nintendo strategy = clean and noble structures for everyone to buy ! (Like Ipod) !

They are NOT early adopters and are not in a rush for the hot new game/toy. These preorders are very encouraging as it means there is also a substantial hardcore base interested in the Wii. This means that the Wii will sell to hardcore as well as casuals. The thing is that the potential casual market is far larger than the current hardcore market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1153338075200624422006-07-19T20:41:00.000+01:002006-07-19T20:41:00.000+01:00Firstly...Launch sales for the PS3 were going to b...Firstly...<BR/><BR/>Launch sales for the PS3 were going to be big no matter what.

What he's saying is that when you have you and your buddies sitting around wielding and flailing around Wii-motes like guns and swords, it's going to look like you're really fighting - on-screen AND off-screen.
