    Thats quite a pathetic excuse because everyone knows that 80% of kids have played GTA or things worse like Manhunt.
    But still thats a great price for that console and if they were to release any games of my tastes I would buy it. I mean I paid more for my Xbox (1).

    I think nintendo has to keep its price down to compete since it cant keep up with ps3 or 360.

    360 is more evened out...it's not as high quality, but still perfectly enough, and its cheaper. Prices will go down just a tad when PS3 comes out I think, not much at all but a little bit. They'll have like..a sale or soemthing, idk..and Halo 3 will come out around then too to hurt sales..it'll be even for a little while..plus some people wont pay 600 bucks for ps3.

    I got a computer for hardcore gaming. I'm getting a wii for hardcore fun.

    Or what Wii means?


    and you can download games all from the past, not decided if you will pay or not, but like..90% chance you will IMO. Or maybe they'll work out a system for games per system or year or whatever..
    like, a NES or SNES game may be free, but GBA or N64 games cost money..as an example

    Do graphics really make the game more fun? or is it the games for them?
    I find all the 360 games, sure, great...but after a few weeks, they die out...never happens with nintendo's games..I still play zelda, SSB, and like, 20 other games I have for n64..good stuff
