Oh yeah! Definately getting one! Wii! :D
Just found this out somewhere:
* I need a Wii now! I can't wait until this fall!
* "Mum, I finished my homework. Can I play with my Wii some more?"
* "Hey Mom, Roger's bringing his Wii over. We're going to connect his Wii to my Wii and then we'll play all night."
* "We are the Knights who say Wii!"
* Wii Willy Winky runs through town, upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown. Knocking on the window, crying through the lock "Are the children all in bed? It’s past eight o’clock."
* "Pass me that wemote contwol pwease?" -- Elmer Fudd redux
* "Do you have any Wii in stock?" asked the customer. "Or course we do," exclaimed the clerk, "Urine GameStop!"
* When you're a kid and you wanna go "whee" but you ain't got drugs yet. [NSFW, but funny as all heck.]

"Just don't forget to shake your Wii-Wii when you go to the bathroom Junior !" - mother said.

If it is cheap I may get one since it can also play my old GameCube games.
I mostly agree...

Nintendo wants NEW gamers not just old farts that loved Nintendo because of NES,SNES (full Nintendo glory). ;)
And that name might get in the way...Every console sells good when launched,the question is how much does it sell later ?
It'll be cheap so it'll be accessible.
I agree, we should a year at least to make the first serious conclusions of this upcoming warQuote:

Happy now Mr.Teacher...Sir ? :my_rambo:
I don't at all see the relevance this has to do with my opinion on why these machines are sold as game consoles. Sounds to me like you just have a chubby for a pile of circuits and want everyone else to feel the same :confused:
We have many choices now. Personally I don't want a home entertainment system, so PS3 is outta my list.
I still thinking the same thing about PS3 is a console as well. :pQuote:

I also think Sony mean to make PS3 a Home Entertainmet System, because it would be way cheaper than any Blu-Ray Disc player, and the BD vs HD-DVD war is as important as the next gent console battle IMHO. Not to mention the WiFi usage to make a it a "Media Center" (again Xb360 like) plus the connection with PSP: I'm sure it would be possible streaming video from the PS3 to the Sony handheld, plus some other features suggested on the official PSP roadmap (and the leaked firmware images - which may be wrong though)
2 vs 2 now :D
montpics you bastid !
I smell tuak in your post.
And since I also have another personality that says PS3 is a Home Entertainment System (yes I am schizo for those that don't know) this is:
- 3 vs. 2 now. :D
hagbard is right...as always.
I think I may be a little late in this conversation, but oh well.
You must admit, Nintendo is absolutely brilliant. Not only have they gotten everyone to talk maniacally about the released name, but it's also a flexible name in a non-gaming sense as well.
Think about it.
It's simple, clean, and well presented, much like Apple. It represents the new fad in technology. Nintendo is trying to corner the non-gaming audience, so it works.
Although, I must admit, with the name Revolution their damn marketing plan would have written itself.
If you don't like it, just cover the name up with a piece of cardboard. I'm sure they won't mind.
