Reader Sean tipped us on this hilarious comic, and as the giggles subsided, we realized there were a few topics worth discussing here -- which makes it perfect for a Monday morning! One of the things that makes this comic funny is that the Wii-injury-inspired beheading is a metaphor for everything that's powering the Wii to such vast mountains of profit. It's not like those other consoles, and why should it be? Should all the next-gen consoles be the same, with roughly the same options? After all, while it may not have the processing power of the PS3 or 360, the Wii has a different kind of power: versatility and widespread appeal. This console has the potential to be so many things, and to expand the market. Why fight over the same market share when you can have some of that, and then go forth and create more?
After all ... people said the DS was underpowered and a gimmick, and just look at it now.
[Thanks, Sean!]
