I agree. Nintendo's aim is to make everyone play the Wii. If I'm a grandmother, I wouldn't buy anything that's called Revolution. Even if it's just a name for a DVD player, maybe I still wouldn't buy it. And certainly not for my granddaughter because it doesn't sound like she should be playing it either. Well, that's if I'm a grandparent.

I also think the price for the controller is pretty decent. If you look closer, the controller is made out of pretty expensive technology. Not so easy to make and sometimes I think that they made the consoles to be a bit pricier so they could lower the price of the controllers. But I'm not sure if that's the case. If you look at the PS3's controllers, each cost $49.99 USD...

You guys should check out this site where they had a convention with senior citizens. Here's an excerpt I stole from it:
a Nintendo rep told a grandmother who played Wii Sports Tennis the system costs $249.99, the grandmother responded with â€œthatâ€™s all?â€? Her five year old or so daughter pulled her grandmotherâ€™s shirt and said â€œCan I have it?â€? The Grandmother then asked where she could buy the Wii and walked off.

i think wii is difenetly better than revolution, revolution sounds like a project name (which it was) wii sounds a lot more fun than revolution althaugh wii is not necessarily the best possible name..

It can be call porkchop factory for all I care. As long as it turns out to be a good system with good game that is all that matters.

I couldn't care nless baout the name. That controller will change the face of gaming. If you want amazing graphics, buy the 360. If you want innovation get the wii. Or for the price of one PS3, just get both. This is commonly reffered to as Wii60.

In my local mall they have a Wii demo set up.

It's really fun and well worth the $250. GET ONE!!!!

I know as soon as I have the money to get one I will.

It comes with the sports game and Zelda will be available on launch, so that will be enough to hold you over until the more titles are available.

Its Nintendo guys, how can you even say its corny after you been through Mario.... anyways the Nintendo Wii is cool guys with its new innovative edgy remote, maybe they were force to do this since they had a good chance of losing if they went for the HD route. But you get to play zelda with it... Comeon Twilight Princess has been what many have said to replace the old greatest game of all time, it worth the get.

Anyways Wii has a nice ring to it, and looks quite nice with those two iis looking like people

Viva la Wii!

hey guys! i have played the Wii and I'm currently trying to make a dent in the Zelda game @___@ haha, it's pretty hard to play. i also managed to get through most of Red Steel even though it's friggin impossible to play. I waited a total of *drum roll please* 16 hours in front of Best Buys. Smile

Everyone else that waited, I feel for you Very Happy

Haha, but a couple nights before I skipped school on friday and waited a little over 18 hours for my PS3. @_____@

Red Steel hard to play? Mabey for like the first 10 minutes. If you actually play it for a little bit they become really easy. All my friends were turned off at first, but now we all play it.

You only waited 16 hours for the Wii? There were like 30 tents in the line I was in. In fact there were more for the Wii than the PS3 at my Best Buy. I waited a total of around 36 hours and I was still number 7 in line.[/quote]

i just thought that red steel didn't flow that well. like the gameplay with the controller didn't run as smooth as the Wii Sports games did. Like in Wii Tennis the actions are really good and you can get a pretty accurate reading on your movements, but in red steel the controls felt a bit awkward. But I guess it's okay because it is a launch title.
