I've got a subscription to game informer, anymore it seams that massive amounts of third party games are starting production for the wii. All of them are going to use the motion sensor.

I think Wii will take it, XBox 360 have had too many faults with it, the PlayStation3 will just cost way too much, and Sony is just too full of themselves. I know I will be picking up a Wii.

Lets Make it nice and clear. Wii has a shitty name but will be a good system at a decent price. PS3 is a great system thats way too ****in expensive. Xbox cant even try to compare to either of em.

i dont think it will totally steal the market. people iwll buy xbox solely for that halo game i think its called. anyway, what i do think will happen is the fact that ps3 is supposed to be overpriced and is just leeching ideas but to a lesser extent from the xbox and wii means that those two systems will far and away be better than the playstation, however i think it will be a close race between them. imo the wii is too revolutionary to pass up on.

About the whole HD thing. Yes, I have a 52 inch HDTV on my wall and yes, I wish Wii had HD capability. Is anyone else camping for it? I'm camping for PS3 right now and Wii Saturday morning at 6am. Selling the PS3 keeping the Wii.

Well the PS3 sucks right now but once good games get into it, it'll be better. Since there arent many PS3's out tehre, its really a scare supply now.

For the Wii, I want one but all sold out. Gota wait 2morrow :P Red Steel baby.

Looks stylish to me, the Ps3 looks a lot similar to the Bose sound system.

To me a computer is the ultimate gaming system. You can play games from just about any system on em and with better graphics and more control. Not to mention online play.
