We need some economics up in here. Props to those in college who, like me, said to themselves "finally! a class that taught me something useful!"

Little kids, go to bed. You know you don't have $650 to buy a system on launch day anyway.

All I know is this equation; sums up everything right quick:

(ME + DS LITE + FINAL FANTASY 3 + CHAIR + BLANKET + PILLOW + 12 HOURS) - $550 = $1200

which leads to the next equation:

$1200 - $350 + pretty slow, enjoyable, and all around easy going pace = WII and fun FOREVER!

that music was horrible. it's not the 1980's anymore. i dont particularly like overbearing electric guitar solos when im killing space vampires and, who knows, the guitar is probably what's prompting the vampires to go on such an untamed bloody space rampage.

How perfect does this fit? The fastest selling XBLA arcade game isn't an original Microsoft property, but an old arcade game from 1991.

A guy pushes as hard as he can on the touch screen for 2 minutes straight: just like new.

However, opening the console as per usual: broken hinge.

How do you like that?

Nintendo has more mascots than members of Congress. If you can make games solely based on original characters, then I'd say you utilize mascots to the best of your ability.

Sony has never really had its own mascot. They've been like the British in the American Revolution, hiring Hessian mercenaries (yeah that's right, didn't even need wikipedia for that). But yeah, they don't have any because Spyro died, Lara deflated (no pun intended) and then defected, and Crash crashed. All they have left is Gran Turismo, and who wants their mascot to be a Ford Focus? Not I...

And as for Microsoft...without the MC, they wouldn't have made it to the 360.

That would be off the chain, if, of course, you prefer your luxury SUV's looking like bloated grizzly bears. must be that time of the month...

im perfectly resigned to "sub-par" graphics from the wii because i know it will be a lot more fun. but just wait, in 4 or 5 years, when the next generation is coming out, you'll see some pretty slick games come out that look every bit as good as some xbox 360/ps3 games.
