Amen. Sony needs a reality check.

We can hope, but I don't think it'll happen. Too many people just have money to throw away anymore. And apparently it's being loved at the show in Hawaii right now. :(

Why does that make you have a little sad face?

I had a ps2 and a gamecube and ran soul calibur 2 on both at the same time, the gamecube loaded battles in half the time then the ps2 and looked as good or better. Thats only one example but i'm sure there are others.
Nintendo seems to always have a better machine then the rest.
On an unrelated note, should we be worried about the first run production of these new consoles not working well? PS3 or Wii?
I don't know alot about console production and wonder if a second batch Nintendo would be better then a first batch?

One good trick by Sony combined with one big mistake of Nintendo's. When Nintendo ditched them to go with carts again for the N64, Sony managed to appeal to what is now known as the 'casual' gamer. Through this, they in turn managed to gain massive marketshare filled with people who will now buy damn near anything that says 'playstation' on it.
Ideally that will end soon and Sony will either die or get their head out of their ass.
As for the Wii, I'm camping out in the local super wal-mart and getting one. If that fails, I'm heading down to the local Target and waiting from midnight till opening(Wal-marts are doing midnight sales). And if THAT fails, Toys R Us. I'll have a Wii no matter what it takes.

You crazies! That's totally unnecessary. Nintendo is sending millions of Wiis our way. You totally don't need to camp for one. There's not going to be a significant Wii shortage.

Looks like toys r us is getting more of them then anyone, which makes sense since they have been announced as Nintendos official launch partner.
Heres a Guide to finding a Nintendo Wii at Launch

Lots of their info is still considered rumors, but probably not far from the truth and they'll update it as the facts come in.
