    You can't do that on the Wii (part 1)

    Its called Little big planet. A coop platformer that could give Mario Galaxy a run for its money. And it looks a LOT better too. Normally, I don't like platformers, but I have to admit that it looks very good. Check out the trailer by yourself.

    Yes, you can't do it on the Wii. As I've said many, many times...horsepower matters. It unlocks new types of gameplay.

    Secondly, it's VERY pretty. I'm unsure as to the longevity of the gameplay, but we'll have to see.

    Yup, the wii is quite limited compared to the other 2. Apparently an external HD is in the works for the wii, which should help out developers a bit, but there are things that the wii will never be able to do as well as the others. And then there are things that should be relatively simple to do like online multiplayer that they are having issues with.

    littlebigplanet looks nifty. i'm sure eventually i'll pick up the ps3 once I get a tv (probalby xmas time)

    They're too busy watching their Wiis collect dust.

    I know I have lots of fun with my Wii. I don't care what trolls like Asher say.

    I'm tempted to kick of some more wii puns but I fear it may be viewed as immature.

    I saw it myself when I wrote it. I thought, "aawww.... let Spikie have some fun".

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Wii and PS3 aren't really competing against each other, are they??

    It would be the same as saying that ALDI or Netto are competing against Harrods. They cater to entirely different customers.

    Right. The Wii caters to children, the elderley, and retarded adults. The PS3 caters to those with money to squander.

    According to Microsoft, 14-year olds. And, judging by the quality of chat on Xbox Live, I'll say it's probably retarded 14-year olds (and Asher, of course).

    I don't play random XBL games with retarded 14-year olds. Although I have noticed since the Wii's launch, these's less of those around on XBL.

    Uh-oh... that's trouble for Microsoft. Like I said, that's their target audience.

    News just in: Microsoft fanboi admits that the X-Box 360 is losing its core customer base to the rival wii.

    The average age of the Xbox 360 customer is the late 20s.
