Haven't read all the comments but isn't something like the wacom screen tablets much more practical - and intuitive? You look at the same place you write on; I find that combination hard to beat. Now turn that into a standalone sketchpad!
i had one, and i thought it was great having that extra protection in a usb drive.
then one day, while i had my survivor plugged into the usb port of my floor-standing pc, i turned on my swivel chair and effortlessly knocked the connector off of the stick with my knee. that was the end of that stick.

Good. Then let's hope the Wii DOESN'T die (but yes, come out with more than just one "game" game for a change) and instead are the springboard for the other console manufacturers to try out different ways of allowing users to interact with games. After all, given the way buttons have multiplied on controllers like so many a horny rabbit, it's only a matter of time before we start playing out PS6s and Xbox1080s with *gasp* a keyboard and mouse. ;)

I wholeheartedly agree with you if they both accomplish the fame function WITH the same amount of immersion and fun. Again, the Logitech MOMO wheel I have for my PC racing sims accomplish absolutely the same as my Saitek P2600 Rumble gamepad. However, in the fun and immersive department the wheel absolutely gang-rapes the poor gamepad. Hence, I never touch a racing sim without the wheel.
Haven't tried the Wii yet, but if it does anything to the gaming experience like what a wheel can do with racing games, then I'm all for it. Otherwise, yes, gimmicky and all...
Could be any reason. Could certainly be due to the games it had then. Could also be a number of other reasons. Damned if I could say exactly why and be 100% certain of it. Doubt if you could, either.
Just stating that the PS2 as a console sold better when it first came out in the US than when they lowered the price.

Sony unveiling UMD-less PSP with slide-out buttons at E3?
Apr 28th 2009 11:46PM (Engadget)So I have to sell my PSP-2000 and all the UMDs in order to buy the new PSP, and on top of that, buy all the games that I already own, again?
Either that, or double-dip?
You're right. I have my PSP-2000. As for the new PSP, that's one less sale for Sony.
Oh well, their loss, not mine. And all this time I thought Sony wanted to sell more hardware!
