Stupid editor chose a HDD.

Did you see the editors picks?

So many MS products, enough to make one think that he has received a laptop to 'review' Vista on.

Yeah but there are a few Sony too so i think is should be fair enough...

Anyway, people choose Blu-ray !

I could hardly wait for the people to see the wii for what it really is. A friggin gimmick.

People have great taste in high def storage, poor taste in gadgety consoles.

I'm proud to say that I voted for Blu-ray!

Really, you guys shouldn't beat up on the Wii.

Microsoft and Sony decided to make a big HD-based push into gaming, and Nintendo did an end-run around the whole idea and cashed in big-time. There are a lot of wii consoles out there, and a lot of developers interested in making money off of it.

People like the Wii, it has excellent user-input, is cheaper to buy (and no special Hi-Def TV to buy, either), and is just fun for the people who haven't played games at all (or since the Atari 2600).

Nintendo has hit some serious home-runs as of late, including the Wii and the DS (which people are going crazy for here in Korea).

Don't poop on their parade just because they're giving people what they want now (and not anticipating the future).

I agree with every word of that.

I don't think the Wii should be compared to the PS3 and 360....

the Wii is a fine system, but it just targets a different audience....

when it's all said and done, the Wii could have more sales than the PS3 and 360 combined and it wouldn't matter to me..
