The wii is not as powerful as an xbox360... and i CURRENTLY am POSSIBLE to play it...

and the word "revolution" was used as a noun... as in what they used to call the console.. as in im saying this description is dated

the WII will rule them all at the biggining

[Jenksie]

I don't think it will rule all initially, based on the number of 360s already being used. I think it will be a year or more till we see a clear market leader and there is no way anyone of us can know for a long time which will be at the head of the race. Lets hope that the Wii is significantly more successful than the GC and we get an extensive library of good games.

i went into game to preorder my wii the other day but they weren't sure how many wii's they were getting in which was annoying. neither did gamestation or any of the other shops. but i did find a website that knows how many wii's tehy are getting so it helped, think i might get mine from there even though its a bit more expensive but atleast i know i am getting one! so i thought i would share this finding with ya'll.
