    I'm talking about where it'll be outsold by the 360 on a regular basis. And I think Spring 08 will be the date.
    GTAIV month, yes. but consistently? nope, not a chance.

        Why?

        The Wii's main aspect is social gaming. Soon everyone will know someone who has one. Why get more...

          I left out the part about the winner getting to deflower the token naive Christian boy, for fear it may be taken the wrong way.

            Sounds illegal. Does said boy consent?

              • I have many dreams in my life, but getting a man in my behind is not one of them. Perhaps I'm the exception.

                BTW, do I really want to know what you do with the wii controllers?

                • Right now they're so dusty they're disgusting.

                  • In this case, if dusty is the only thing they are, I guess that's a good thing.

                      • I'm known to "think suitcase", as we say here. I've more than once surprised people there. Yeah, I'm dirty.

                        • I don't think anyone actually mentioned it, but MS made $165M last quarter in the Xbox division. Not bad, this time last year it was a ~$140M loss. This next quarter is the first one with the reduced cost consoles also (65nm).

                          • That's quite the improvement.

                                The 360 is a clear improvement over the previous generation, even ignoring features like the HD-DVD ability, the XBL Marketplace, the video/music support, etc.

                                Remarkable graphics and sound support to better immerse you in the game. HD

                                Unified online services, which include voice chat, friends list, achievements, XBL Arcade, downloadable content - and Microsoft continues to improve on this.

                                The 360 represents solid evolution in a console. Does the Wii?

                                The Wii graphics are six years behind the time; the control scheme doesn't provide any meaningful change, IMO, primarily because it is underpowered. Not enough hardware to push decent graphics, and not even hardware to provide decent motion sensing.
