I know that super-whoopee-doo-graphics, HDMI inputs and WTF outputs of the XBox360 and PS3 consoles with specifications that sound like 'M' from the James Bond movies designed them impress a great deal of people.
I know for a fact that the PS3 fanboys had great satisfaction at the PSU issues of the Xbox and likewise the Xbox fanboys are rejoicing now at reports of stillborn PS3's.
I know for a fact that the most correct thing I have heard during this recent round of the console war is what I currently have in my signature, the quote from Oni
However there is another console often looked at as being less of a threat which is why I believe the fanboys who have made an alternative purchase do attack it and that is the Wii... however I believe this console may take a bigger share of the market than people believe because of people such as myself.
The last console I brought with the thought of using it as a console was a N64 as after this the games just appeared to get more impressive graphically however from my perspective the gaming expierience did not evolve greatly.
Currently im still a big fan of and am playing online a multiplayer game released December 2, 1999.... This game is Quake3 Arena... I also own Quake4 but ultimately its not as playable, as enjoyable as its older relative... you can state that I am wrong yet I am not the only person who feels this way as there are many people still playing it, even after all these years...
The PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Xbox360, PS3 have never displayed anything to interest me enough to make me want to know of the specifications, let alone want one, even for 100 bucks... yet the wii does, it looks very interesting, great fun, its new and exciting and I am about to buy the first console I have in years, many other people I have spoken to are doing the same.
Perhaps Nintendo have a market that Sony and Microsoft have not tapped into, perhaps Nintendo are reaching non-console gamers like myself and thats why the wii is wonderfull imho

Did a certain console call your mom fat, or insult your girlfriend? Probably not. I don't understand the defensiveness that most fanboys display (console or otherwise).
