Prolink

What I have to keep wondering over and over is why doesn't a single person change their sensor bar settings to adjust for the fact that you're normally pointing at the sensor bar? Shift it up by about a foot so that when you're pointing above the bar, the bar will automatically convert it to the middle of the screen. Seriously, unless this isn't possible at all, it's annoying to hear people complain about it.

There's something sorta like this already in a program called Emacs that runs on Linux. As long as your computer is accessed to the internet you can leave your home and connect back to your home computer for anything as long as the other computer you use also has Linux and Emacs. It's actually pretty cool, as what it basically means is that you can use ANY internet connectable device to access your files at any time. Think about it, you could be in Hawaii, Canada, Brazil, Spain, China, and as long as you had an internet connection, you can access every single one of your home files, and even go surfing the internet and download files back to your server for use later. You can then even buy shared servers for like a club or your family to share information and at the same time cut costs.

However, it won't be very feasible because, as someone says, hackers and identity theft. One of the main reasons Linux and Emacs works is because it's on Linux and not many people use it, so they're not a big target. Also, the world would need free internet access, or at least free across the US. Until broadband and/or T1 and other such high speed cables become standard and free, or at least pretty cheap, this won't happen. And then there's the price of the servers themselves, will they ever be big enough? And if there's ever a hardware crash that would cause some memory loss, imagine how much you could be sued?

So, right now, it's not going to happen, although I seem to be in the minority in that I think it's a cool idea.

Looking at the Xbox to Gamecube stats, and then looking at the Xbox to Gamecube performance, it shows just how much architecture must matter, and shows that there's NO WAY at all to truly be able to tell the Wii's potential other than there's a good chance that it'll be AT LEAST twice as powerful as the Gamecube.

And at the end of the day, how many people will know? They'll go by what they see, but not every store can show off with an HD television, and even if Sony and Microsoft paid them to put HD in those display cases, not everyone has HD. Meaning that both the PS3 and X360 may both still look REALLY good on Standard Definition displays anyway, but so shall the Wii. The Wii will be comparable, if not just as good as it's competition on SD television sets, and that's what matters right now, isn't it?

Even if HD takes off and people start buying sets in the future at alarming rates (and I still am doubtful of this unless prices start dropping way down soon), there are many people that will be driven to buy a console now and if the Wii gets bought during this time, even if it's a second console, nobody will care until the day finally comes in which they get their own HD set.

And besides, if to get the most out of my console I need to buy a new TV, I'd rather way until that TV becomes really cheap first before buying the console, but that's just me.

Now, the only things that bother me are the questions of how much of the CPU's power will have to go to keeping up with the controller, and also of the possibility that CPU/GPU combination won't be as powerful as to expectations.

It's possibly because in this last E3, Nintendo stole the show. And now there are companies not happy with that as even at TGS Nintendo had such a strong presence, and no one wants to pay money for marketing to have it all stolen by another company again and again.
