Sony praises Wii as well

And the reason (I believe) it's so cheap, is because it's barely a step up from a Gamecube. It's like an expansion for it. Much like the Expansion pack for the N64, except having nothing to directly do with the Gamecube.

I dont see Nintendo actually having a shot at competing with the 360 or PS3 game wise. Because as I stated before, people who like games with good graphics, will get one of those.

I was referring to Nintendo fans; I thought it was obvious, sorry I didn't spell it out (literally).

The Wii will not simply succeed because of the controller; it'll certainly help. But if they succeed it will be because they have games like Mario and Zelda on day one. Because they advertised things the right way. Because they didn't overshoot their tech specs but provided an economically friendly (yet still fun) product. And it will be because of their virtual console.

Nintendo has a lot of things going for them this time around.

how many times have people around here claimed not to be "Nintendo fanboiz", but now when yall think everything's rosy people start to say "our turn to gloat"

nothing wrong with it, just funny

I've never denied being a Nintendo fan. Look at my screen name; do I look like I'm in denial? Certainly I've been more excited about other things this past generation (namely World of Warcraft and a select few Xbox/PS2 titles). But I have an enormous amount of confidence in Nintendo to do things in a contrary yet entertaining way.

I guess if you find it funny, power to you. But you just come off as a pretentious prick to me.

The Wii has certainly proved to be a better-thatn-previously-thought console. In fact, its won me over even with my severe doubts in the early goings.

But as for power and market share, lets not overreact.

Essentially Nintendo has not done anything differently in the marketing strategy. Its still the avant-garde hardcore base company it was with the Gamecube and even the N64. Its still pushing dated macots that are only really loved by their existing user base, which are aging.

They are not marketing themselves to the mainstream gaming populace, and this will not equal dominance in the industry. I think they will catch up to both Xbox and PS3 (who I think will move into a tie), but Nintendo isn;t going to re-emerge as the Nintendo of old any time soon.
