Stealing my name is gay.

(It was pretty great though.)

I think my comment was cloned.

Cloning Clyde was great.

Cloning Clyde was great.

No, but with a movie you get a story.

Did you watch the promo videos from Microsoft? It looks a lot like they want to produce a controller-less environment.

The only possible problem being that if you turn your head sideways, your TV screen stays where it is.

It reminded me of District 9 because it has a similar fucking title.

Does the use of the word 'fuck' make me sound cool and edgy like you? Or just needlessly aggressive?

I would imagine the closeness of the figures in real terms indicates that very few of the new party game-favouring buyers attracted by the Wii have actually become 'proper' gamers. Those who actively play the Wii are probably just as 'hardcore' as those that play the Xbox actively. If true, this is interesting, as it suggests these people are prone to have been swept away by fads, and may have little to offer for the longevity of the games industry. It could end up with the industry moving into territory that won't necessarily be for the better.

But actual figures aside, surely if motion controls were really going to do away with traditional controllers, you'd expect a higher proportion of people that bought into it would be actually making use of it?

I don't think the Wiimote has been the breakthrough in technology a lot of people think it is, it's just been a very clever marketing scheme that's gotten people to shell out for a very expensive toy. A really fun toy when you're around friends, but a toy nonetheless.
