CHV Lives On

"We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even if it didn't have games."
Baa. Baaaaaaaa.

Nothing new, but perhaps the Gear.IGN guys can explain things better than I can:

For once it looks like microsoft is actually making sense. Two consoles instead of just one; that is the better bargain when you are only thinking about the console portion.
Also... okay the name "wii" is stupid, but is my tantrum fueling the thoughts that Nintendo might top the market again come christmas or does anyone else think the same?
I mean they are putting out another Zelda title on launch, which DOESN'T look like a crazed toaster-faced-elf on crack -- it infact looks like that teaser video that circulated around before WW came out. And I don't know what the estimated price will be, but Nintendo hasn't changed their $200 tag since what, 1985?
Ren, watch the parking meters.

Elaborate please, since I'm not following...

360 + Wii > PS3.

Reps from microsoft basically said consumers would be able to buy the 360 and a wii together for the same price as the PS3.
And I know WW is reportedly a good game, and the swirly smokes looking nifty.. but I still much prefer the slightly more real looking Link over the toaster crack-fairy Link.

Aah, I thought you were referring to their Core and Premium systems when you mentioned that. My mistake.
