I just got myself xbox 360.. I'm happy with it.. in fact it's the first console I've bought. I didn't want to wait for PS3, plus it's overpriced anyway. And Bluray? NO thanks.In da butt.

IBM started Wii's CPU production 3 weeks ago, apparently. PS3 production still pending.
IBM has announced that their Broadway chip custom-designed for Nintendo's Wii console is not only already in Nintendo's hands but has been since July. "We have been shipping well within this quarter (July)," said Ron Martino, director of IBM Technology Collaboration Solutions. "In fact, we have shipped a significant volume in this quarter."
So what does this news mean to gamers who have been waiting patiently for a release date from Nintendo? Well, considering that Nintendo has had their hands on a large amount of the final Broadway chips since July, we can easily speculate that the Wii could feasibly be released within the next few weeks. Perhaps by the end of the month.
Nintendo has also confirmed their reception of IBM's chip: "The first chips are in our possession," said Genyo Takeda, Senior Managing Director/General Manager, Integrated Research & Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd. "Today's milestone marks the final stage of our drive to reach both core and nontraditional gamers with an inviting, inclusive and remarkable gaming experience."
When I asked Martino about the power behind the Broadway chip, all he could do was compare it to the Wii's predecessor, the GameCube. "Compared to the Gekko in the GameCube, it's 20 percent more power efficient. It also performs significantly better. The key point is that it is Power Architecture-based and custom-made and optimized for Nintendo," he said. "This is a critical milestone for us at IBM. We have been very pleased with the entire development project."
I pressed Martino to compare Broadway to the other consoles they've had an integral part in developing for and he wouldn't budge, only commenting on what Nintendo was able to offer. With this news and Nintendo confirming the shipment of "6 million systems to retailers around the world between its launch in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the end of its fiscal year on March 31, 2007," we fully expect Nintendo to make an official announcement next week during their event in New York City. And as previously mentioned, we expect a release date far sooner than what has been projected."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

bravo to Nintendo!!
I think they are confident and they know where they want to go!!!
I'm really curious about the Wii, if the games looks good and are fun to play! I will be ready to buy a wii for 200$!
But..... poor poor poor Sony!! Something is wrong with them... they failed (at least in North America) with their Mini-Disk. They will fail with the Blue-Ray... the PSP is a semi-failure(comparing to the DS)!blehComment

All Sony had to do was not **** it up and they would have been successful and maybe even win the console wars again this generation. But from the beginning, they've messed up one thing after the other.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

PSP is lacking games... and it would be a lot better if something else could read a UMD.
When I heard the prices, I pretty much decided that the Wii would be first on my list to get.
There isn't even sufficient reason to get a XBox 360 yet.
And I bought two PS, and one PS2 (two if you count the one I bough tfor my freind).

As I recall, the original PS was rather pricey. I seem to recall buying it at around $400.
However, I don't think it had much good competition, whereas the PS3 has ample good competition.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

I thought the original PS was pricey, I didn't get it until it had dropped to 200, same with the PS2.
