I'm sorry



I feel sorry for posting so much on the Wii, it makes it seem like this is the only thing happening at E3 atm. But from the E3 to the web link via 1000's of people there blogging away and releasing vids and pics, there really dosnt seem to be anything else there!

It seems that nintendo have done what they set out to do by stealing the show. Sony have been ripped apart by consumers and developers alike because of thier inclusion of tilt sensors in thier new pad that only one game has been modified to work for so far, Microsoft really dont seem to have got a look in as what they really needed to show was some halo3 and forza 2 in-game footage and all they have come up with so far is pre-rendered teasers for them and nothing to play. Not a good thing.

It seems that thanks to this mass amount of publicity and driving the market ahead with new ideas rather than making older ones look pretty add this to the potential price point of $150 at launch and i think there is a real winner here.

Well, when i say real winner i mean IBM who are making the main processing chips for all 3 next gen consoles, they must be laughing all the way to the bank to make thier huge pile of cash just that little be bigger.

Either way, i would love to be at E3 right now, and I will be buying a Wii on launch, and maybe even a PS3 (the lower end one) if the games are right.


One more point i have to make, there will never be a winner in this console war as all 3 companies will be around with another console in 5-6years time, and the game starts all over again.
