Please, please, what is with these stupid pictures of cats with every other post? I really don't want to turn into someone that reads a blog with cat pictures everywhere.

Mal F4cti0n, why be such a fool about spelling when, sitting up there on your high horse, you are wrong? Bathetic, from bathos, denotes some abrupt change, usually for the worse.

Steve2, that is the most patronising thing I have ever read. You really think that the new older gamers won't know how to buy anything for their Wiis? That they will be too stupid to look at the remote that says 'Wii' and ask for games for that? Do you really think that the reason the hardcore gamer has dominated this industry is because they are the only ones smart enough to manage to buy a game?

I really don't understand this silly idea that big, central to the demographic titles can somehow make a difference to the overall sales. Halo 3 and Zelda make barely any difference to sales, as people who love those franchises were sold on 360 and Wii years before they had even heard of them. It's the long tail of variety that wins the overall war.

@Corosato I really doubt that Halo 3 will be such a system seller - are there any massive fans of Halo 1 and 2 that don't already have a 360?

You don't think Wii sports was a game TG16 Fan? How much is everyone entitled to?

Bath, UK... But my house has wheels, so originally Brisbane, Australia

Not going to happen. There is no way Nintendo is going to ruin the DS's mojo until the weekly figures in Japan drop well below 100k. And that seems a way off.

Though I do like the idea of a portable system to run games from the VC.

People have different definitions of forward, OrganicShadow. Don't confuse your definition with something objective.

Hear hear, Pince. I think the very thought of an all-in-one device is an abomination. Quality, despite what the free-marketeers and the lunatic industrialists might tell you, is important. Here's to having specific devices to complete specific tasks. If I want to nail a nail, I'd vastly prefer my workshop had a hammer than some all-in-one contraption.
