Add to that, that I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo will actually be turning a profit from the console on day one instead of losing money. I'm not a "gamer" but I like playing games from time to time, and there are a few series that I'm a fan of. That being said, when ingenuity has been lost, and all you do is make a stronger system with the same shitty games just looking prettier, it's pretty pathetic IMO.
I've never been excited for the release of a new system, but Nintendo is doing things right. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I'm after high detailed graphics and sheer power, I'll just play games on a PC. But for just plain fun, it'll be the Wii for me. People can run the same stupid argument over and over again about how Nintendo is aimed at little kids. They have admitted to aiming to a wider fan base of the entire family. Good for them. I'll play said "kiddie" games as long as they're fun, because that's the reason for playing video games. November 19th will be a fun day in my house for only about $400 including the system, game(Zelda of course), extra controller and nunchaku(sp?)
