When I am dead, I hope it is said;

The thing is what makes a console experience fun is the games, not the console. I think the Wii is successful partially because the simple games for it (which non-gamers will gravitate to) are 1: simple and 2: designed to play at a party. The Wii is really just an electronic board game, people will play it with groups of other people while folks on the more hardcore consoles wiil play with others online, rather than everyone in the same room. So it annoys me when people say things like 'the Wii is a great system!' because it's really not, it's a Gamecube with a new interface. And you can make bad games for it just as easily as any other console.

Bah. :p You're just attracted to freaks. (hi ginkgo! :D)
