Fils-Aime: MS and Sony 'trapped in a box'

[ICE]

you dont seem to get how the industry works. the gamecube/ninty had NO third party support at all. the wii therefore wont either for a while see? people wont just jump over immediately. the thing is the console is stomping everything else and therefor, like in any business, everyone now wants to be where the money is.

its only been a year people. it prolly took half that for people to realize wii is where the money is and we all know how long it takes to make a game right? a console is only as good as its games guys and since those games got a really late start due to people not seeing the wii coming... well you should see my obvious point by now eh?

JUST WATCH AND SEE.

The ps3 are pointless console to own its only for people who like remakes not originality the 360 is good for playing pc ports how boring is that and finally wii which is the most amazing console ever the games itself are very original the games play really amazing its like you are in the game we do not need control pads to play games anymore every console had a control pad so what make makes the ps3 and 360 any different , if you look at this way sony and microsoft console don't supply originality when it comes to console features the wii is one of the best console with it unique gameplay elements, most people are forgetting one thing no one can make better games than Nintendo.
The machine is only succesful when it sells well, the wii is selling real well this will easily become the n0.1 console for 2007 let sony and microsoft talk about the graphics the graphics won't sell the machine it has to the quality gaming this is the real thing that sony and microsoft consoles are lacking let the wii become the best console of the year 2007 long live Nintendo.

I still think there will ultimately be a problem for Nintendo with the changing demographic of its user base. My prediction is most people will/do buy the Wii and get a few pack-in games, then never buy another game again. I do not think the Wii will "convert" non-gamers into die-hard gaming fans eager to shell out every month for the next killer title. I think they will be people who quickly get bored of "this gaming lark" and go back to what they did before. Reminds me a bit of the Atari VCS/2600 - how many people remember seeing countless of them covered in dust under friends' TVs because they had just got bored of it, after buying it because it was something new.

I just hope for Ninty's sake there are enough Wii owners who already were gamers who buy games regularly.

The DS, however, is such a tactile, pick-up-and-play device that fits into a pocket, that I think it truly will have a long shelf life.

Amazingly, for the first time in 15 years of knowing her, my wife has actually asked me to buy her a game for Xmas (one of the brain training ones for the DS). Now THAT is something bordering on the miraculous!

EDIT: Reggie's comments make him sound ridiculous.
