Default Re: Nintendo Press Conference: Stream & Discussion

I was just reminded why I chose the PS3 (360 would have been my other option) over Wii. Wii has a lot to offer as a console, just something different than I want in gaming. For parties, social gatherings etc. it can be a lot of fun. At the same time, I lost interest in Wii Sports after 3 times playing it. Mario was fun from the limited time I had with it, but it seems Nintendo is really focusing in on the "Wii ____" brands.

Compare them to other games we've seen on the PS3/360 like Fallout 3, Resistance 2, Resident Evil 5, Gears 2, Uncharted 2 (hasnt been shown, yet) and you just don't have a contest from my point of view.

However, I will say that Nintendo has done about as well as possible capturing the new casual gamer and in effect profited tremendously. Smart business model.
