No you're still wrong.

The Wii is the cheapest console. Irrespective of it's proportional cost compared to the others.

If you consider more graphical power somehow of 'more value' then YOU have missed the point.

The Wii isn't about graphical power, it's about the new 'feel' of the playing experience. If you think that this is somehow 'less valuable' then the other consoles you need to think long and hard about your career choice.

Whether or not the PS3 can be considered 'more valuable' to the consumer because even though it costs more the value of the machine you purchase is more compared to the price because the Sony profit margin is smaller is also irrelevant.

Nintendo have always made profit, and that is because they manufacture products cheaply, efficiently and to order. Just because You pay 600 dollars for 800 dollars of machinery when buying a PS3, doesnt mean it is intrinsicly more valuable.

When you buy a Wii you pay 250 dollars for 100 dollars (eg) worth of hardware. This means Ninty makes a profit.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE BUYING SOMETHING OF LESS VALUE.

Honestly, I thought PA had it spot on. The original article was an embarrasment, and the more you prolong the thing the more your, and Joystiqs reputation goes down.

"Sony and Microsoft are giving us free hardware when they sell each console at a loss. "

I'd love to get my hands on one of these 'free' PS3s for sure. I lol'd hard at that one.

Streets of Rage.

Because Adam was that badass, Axel was that hardcore, and Blaze was THAT hot.

Haha, Doom 3 in the Unreal 3 engine?

Someone at Joystiq knows shit all about games.

No games released in the last 10-15 years are original concepts.

Super Monkey Ball was Marble Madness with shiny new graphics and simians. Katamari, ICO, Mario, Zelda you name it, it has been done before.

Bashing a game because it isnt revolutionary is not clever. for example, if you only bought revolutionary things, you would be reading this on an original Mac from the 1980s.

It is worrying that Blizzard seems to have jumped on the bandwagon of their own game. With a movie coming out, a tie in card game (with rare cards that provide loot in the online game, omglolz!11one), and all the merchandise, it seems WoW must simply be too lucrative for them to do anything else.

A shame really, as Starcraft and Diablo were exceptional series and justly deserve sequels in the near future.

I do play WoW, and to be honest, I can see everyone burning out on it about the time the expansion comes out, to renew my interest.

No Wroguens though. Shame.
