"How long were the lines for Wii games at E3? Exactly.
Graphics are at a point where they're pushing up against the maximum resolutions of TVs. Sure, you could go HD, but I really don't think it's widespread enough to warrant a $600 console (PS3) over a $200 console (Wii.) Think about that price difference. The PS3 is THREE TIMES AS EXPENSIVE. For 400 dollars I could buy 400 double cheeseburgers at McDonalds. For 400 dollars I could buy 2 more Wiis. For 400 dollars, I could buy 30 cases of Natural Light beer. Fuck that shit.
Sony is completely dead in the water. After E3, their stock price hit the shitter. Wii is most likely going to win the console wars but I wouldn't count on a complete knockout since XBOX360 still has a Halo up its sleeve. Plus it has sports games, which do sell very well despite the fact that they have been complete pieces of shit since 1996.
I'm definitely going to buy a Wii. Beyond the price tag (which is not enough to prevent me from going XBOX,) I want to buy a console to play console games, not ports of PC games. I can play Halo with much better graphics on PC. GTA->PC. On console, I want to play games that are good on console controllers. Games like Smash Brawl and Mario. Nintendo makes console games and is very good at making console games."
