Grubdog -

What you quote below isn't in the PDF file linked.
Can you provide a link to the article that you are quoting?!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Obviously from the linked article (thanks Grubdog!) we can see that the Wii remote and the PS3 controllers are completely different.

PS3 controller detects 2 things in 360 degrees, Acceleration & Tilt

Wii controller identifies controller position in 3D space at any given moment.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

He's using a freaking word in place of 2 words.

Wiimote -vs- Wii Remote

If he wants to sound like a jackass let him. Just calm the heck down.

I make no qualms about it.... I am a Nintendo fan. Always have been, and if they continue as they have been I will continue to be. I write this to give you frame of reference.

But this isn't about Nintendo, or even Sony... This is about games. I have always wanted to buy a PS2. It's got great games, a huge catalog of em (especially if you count PSX games). I've never bought one though because of two reasons.
1. Too much money
2. Graphics that just didn't justify the cost to me. (not that the graphics are crap, just not quite good enough cause I HATE so much aliasing and poor textures)

But here is the bottom line: Am I willing to pay this much for these games?
The answer is NO. MGS4, FFXIII, and every other third party game will be ported when this thing flops because it is too dang expensive. And I shouldnt say flops because it will have a market.

High-end entertainment center hob-nobs. And how big is that market? It's big but not THAT big. I almost guarentee that this thing will sell out of the 400,000-800,000 or so units coming to the US alone for the fact that it is a Bluray player.

Remember how people are buying the PSP more for the protable screen (video, audio, net, photoviewer, etc.) than for the games? PS3 repeats this idea.

So I won't be buying the PS3. And in fact I have no desire to, unlike with the PS2 at launch.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
