Wiiiii!

Go read this article regarding the Wii vs. the PS3. Pay particular attention to the quotes from the fellow at Sony.

Does anyone else think he's a "Wii" bit delusional? ;)

I actually prefer the SOCOM 1st/3rd person view to true FPS... I also prefer to game while crashed out and relaxed... shoulder pain the day after a marathon gaming session is NOT my idea of a good thing... and that's exactly what happened the last time I played mass amounts of Wii at Kim's... You should see me this time of year on my PS2... I'm propped up on pillows in bed, completely bundled up... no way in hell I could use a Wii remote that way...

If I want actual physical activity, I'll join a gym, go fishing or go golfing...

Classic games I can download emulators for on my computer...

I'm just waiting for them to fix the backwards compatibility issues (or for me to cease to care about them) and get the price for a fully loaded system down to $500 or lower...

She's right. Sports is hard on you. It's a workout (though, you get used to it like any activity).

Zelda doesn't hurt. Even after playing a while. The most active thing you do is wiggle the 'chuck a little to perform a spinning attack.

You wait. You must know the controls on SOCOM aren't as good with a controller as w/mouse keyboard. The 'chuck replicates that better. There's gotta be a decent knockoff of the Rainbow series or whatever in the pipes somewhere. No game system avoids WWII forever. :)
