Again, just trying to contribute. Something that I rarely see here anymore. Thought I'd try instead being an ass about everything.

The beauty of all this is that I can take comfort in knowing my social life doesn't cling to wether or not a developer "makes it playable online".

@77 Name jackers don't have their own voice apparently. I think my comments constitute a real insight whereas yours(whoever you are)are a sign of immaturity.

Oh yeah, and it's people like me who decide which systems succeed because we have the funds to say yay or nay when the kids ask for something. Kids will always be the bulk of the market and parents bought a good 80 million of those 110 million PS2s.

Surely you don't believe there are enough idiot parents who believe their child should have blu-ray just because they ask for it do you?

Nevermind that... kids won't ask for it anyways. Not until it's slim an under 200 bucks.

My point was and is that while single males (not necessarily men from the evidence in the previous posts) might like resistance and gears, some people want to play tetris. I like both. In fact I love bowling with my five year old son. Hell, I love watching him play baseball and hit a home run. I love it more than having some jerk on Xbox live shout racists remarks at me for sure. I still love Xbox live though.

Everyones preference is justified but the "hate" is really weird. IS my Wii kiddy? Sure, why not? I am at a point where it fits better for my current situation which is married with kids. I like trauma center and rayman. I like phoenix wright and elite beat agents.

Truthfully it's all because of the light hearted fun that I can squeese into a normally busy schedule. I still find time for some nba live and fight night too (xbox 360).

Come on now JJC. Name them. I'm not saying the releases are great cause they aren't (more than half suck balls) but the mini game shit is old. Is bowling a mini game? How bout tennis? So far this tech demo crap Wii Sports gets is just crap. Is DDR a tech demo?

Some games are supposed to be shallow. Anyone calling Tetris repetitive? Far Cry is garbage and I don't use my Wii to "Vote". I get it, friend codes suck but Zelda was great as was a couple of others. At launch that's all I ask of all my systems.

The point of the Wii controller since you all forget is to ADD ability. I will not be losing any function should they release a traditional game. You speak of motion controls like they take away from the experience.

Besides that, I've not gone a generation where I didn't own all of the systems. Safari Hunt was superior to Duck Hunt, but TECMO bowl kicked ass. I bought both.

Nothing changed this time around. I wanted the boomerang controller from sony but the sixaxis is great. The new L2 and R2 buttons are great and it's effectively a wireless first party controller from Sony which I would have bought in a heart beat for PS2.

XBox360 has the greatest "standard" controller yet in terms of comfort, but the directional pad sucks. The online service is great. The faceplates are a good feature. It's a great machine.

This generation unlike any before brought REAL innovation to the table. I'm happy with all three and sure to become more satisfied as time passes.

please do name these games you speak of "Jack of NO Trades"

There really is nothing to see here.

A good portion of stock value comes from transactions that take place (Obviously company performance counts too). If I can push an assload of stock to someone above the current pricing on the basis of future valuation then the average price goes up and it's basically a self fulfilling prophecy.

Everyone benefits. Having big chunks of stock that will not move because it's held by one entity is like not being publicly held in the first place. Thus the term "fluidity" and why they'd ask the gov't to part ways with their share. The gov't probably bought in solely to stabilize a creaky market and now that they have all of this current success, releasing the shares to the public again will in fact drive prices up long term.

Hope this helps. @Erwos Sorry if I came off harsh, I just felt that anyone who knew anything about finance would see that it's a reasonable even if not the "common" solution.

I'm hoping it prevents fanboys from spelling out disaster on Nintendo's end.

Oh and they didn't ask "people", they asked the gov't which suggests that the gov't bought it initially as assistance to them in the first place.

Call me when they ask their general shareholder to call it quits in the midst of soaring stock prices.

RTA. Don't armchair analyze. There is a reason professionals are professionals. It's because they have other ways of dealing with situations than what's commonly known.

Sometimes not splitting stock is the best long term solution. Supply and demand.
