The Wii alphabet

While PS3 owning hopefuls wait outside all week for their chance, Wii fanboys have time to come up with cheeky alphabet columns. Over at 4cr they've developed a column where each day, using a letter from the alphabet, they post another detailed and debatable nugget about the Wii, they've made it up to R for Relaxation. It's like the 12 Days of Christmas -- but with the alphabet, and no FIVE GOLD RINGS!A is for Aesthetics, E is for Exclusives, L is for Longevity, each letter brings up a different concept. One of the most interesting columns was O, for "Is the Wii Obsolete"? A topic that gets brought up over and over again in our comment threads. 4cr goes into exceptional detail about this debate and comes out the other side writing, "Basically, the answer is a resounding no!"
By next Sunday's Wii launch they'll end of the alphabet. The column is cute, but now the real hard letters come: X and Z ... oh wait, Zelda!

X is for Xlyphone, as in Wii Conductor (or whatever that music conducting game is). DUH!

I like kittens.

Only losers have not read the A to Wii articles yet.
And yeah, kittens are pretty cool.

Shouldn't it be 'golden rings'? I know it's pretty much the same as 'gold rings' but the song lists them as 'five golden rings', not 'five gold rings'.
Why am I suddenly thinking of Sonic now?

@ 4...Kittens are rather demonic, to be honest...with their scathing eyes and humbly HIDDEN CLAWS OF DOOM.
@ 1...why does Wii need justification? o.O;
velocitystrike @ Nov 11th 2006 3:32PM
Oh, and @ 6...it's 'gold' rings, not golden.
;)

X - Xii, as in 12-centimeter disks which will allow Wii games to include so much more content. And since the graphics aren't quite as hardcore as are those of the competition, this'll mean more levels Mario's in instead of more freckles on Mario's chin.
=D

how about xenobiotic - a chemical or substance that is foreign to an organism or biological system.
...because the Wii has not come out yet, so it's a substance that is foreign to us... get it?
c'mon, look what i have to work with here.

He may be a fanboy, but even then he's got some facts wrong.
Even just on the first page:
The 'leaked' clock speed has still now been proven. IBM don't even make these chips at 789Mhz or whatever IGN said it was. IBM recently released info on the new low power PPC chips, and they start at 1Ghz. It was obviously leaked by a pissweak developer who had a Gamecube dev kit.
And the Wii CAN ouput higher then 480p, it's just that the software WONT.
Morons come in many forms - even fanboys who don't even understand arguments that can win them points. It would be like a Nintendo article 'accepting' that the Xbox 'smashed' the Gamecube, when in reality they sold almost exactly the same, it's just MS's bizzaro world where XB was successful and GCN was a flow.
