Actually, now that you mentioned it, the ending of that article kinda sucked. The first half of the article was about Nintendo's DS moving more units than the PSP and a contrast of Sony's and Nintendo's systems. It talked about how Nintendo is beating Sony in sales, despite the huge difference in hardware.

Then, it talked about Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch for no apparent reason. The PSP is supposed to be a gaming system, the iPod Touch is supposed to be a music player and the iPhone is an overrated smartphone. (I'd rather have a BlackBerry, but I have neither.) The comparison is way off.

I knew that "pokeware" had nothing to to with Pokemon, though I thought that you called it "pokeware" because the companies are "poking" into the industry with crappy games.

Eh, the Wii is good enough for me. I mean, yeah, it does try to attract casual gamers, but I still think it's a hardcore gamer's system too.

My thought on this matter is that Nintendo is just trying to make sense out of the high-definition, 3-D graphics thing that is apparently a necessity in video games these days. At least Nintendo is/was trying to throw things around with the Wii Remote, even if it didn't work as well as Nintendo planned. The XBOX 360's controller is essentially the same as the original XBOX's and Sony doesn't seem to be implementing the motion sensors in the PS3 controller anymore.

To be honest, I only have two complaints about the Wii:

1.) Lack of Sufficient Memory: This is a real problem for me because I tend to go overboard on Virtual Console titles. The Wii can only hold so many games before you have to delete some of them and make room for others, which is tedious as all-hell because in order to play them again, you either have to A.) re-download them from the Wii Shop Channel, or B.) re-upload them from your SD card, should you have one.

And as for one final kick in the balls, you can't directly access anything from the SD card. If Nintendo doesn't come up with a firmware update that would allow us to access content from the SD card, I may have to start sending death threats.

2.) The Motherfucking Friend Codes: As you may have noticed, I went a bit ballistic and made an Animal Crossing: City Folk desperation thread, because I apparently need to give my friend code to a person and need his/her friend code before I can play a game of hide-and-seek. If we could at least register friend codes through the Wii Message Board, or better yet, have no friend codes at all, I wouldn't have had to make the thread. If only I could hack the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, I would register everyone onto my friend list.
