    Rev Ce-Oh no he didn't, part XXXIII - Microsoft's just waiting for Wii fanboys to grow up

    via engadget

    Never let it be said that a console war doesn't benefit the consumer -- for the goldmine of quotes, if nothing else. This latest one is from John Rodman, group product manager for the Xbox platform and Xbox Live, who was talking up the Xbox 360 in a New York Times article of all places. "We don't feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing," he said. "We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14 they want something else." Oh snap! Finally the truth comes out. We were getting a bit tired of all those backhanded praises Sony and Microsoft have been showering on the Wii, since it's not the "competition." Seems like it's worth Rodman's time to pay it such a diss (not that we have anything against sub-14 year olds, but let's be honest here) and there's no doubt the Wii is more of a threat to Sony and Microsoft than they'll ever admit.

    IF its not such a threat why is it blowing X box 360s sales apart.

    That was sort of immature in my oppinion. Surely he knows there are a lot of adult Wii users.

    im pretty sure that moron didnt see the article about the retirement home users playing on the wii - how old exactly does a wii gamer have to be to be worthy of a 360? if i didnt know this guy was working for ms i would have said he was a sony employee because thats the kind of crap there coming out with these days.
