[citation][nom]Square_Head[/nom]Good God, seriously why is everyone so upset about the Wii? Its an awesome platform with reasonable graphics. The people that whine about graphics are the FPS crowd. Do us all a favor and have a real death match with your friends and .45's.[/citation]

Well we are ditching our Wii's in the office. We have been using them for content delivery to our advertising screens, but the lack of HD means that even Opera looks terrible when blown up to a huge screen. Shame as they are small, cheap and offer the connectivity of much more expensive systems. Guess we'll be buying 3xPS3 slims for the office now then...
 
A mutli-touch tablet could be interesting. Not talking about a DS, but something with a large screen to play on and the internals to run better games.

Or you could buy 50 PS3 non-slims and create a neural network!

For what you ask?

.... Solitaire...
 
Meh, Natal and Sony's Arc aren't a threat to the Wii. They came in too late to the game, and anyone who plays those systems prefers regular controllers anyways and most aren't going to want to buy an extra new peripheral that only works with a handful of games, especially in the case of Natal. I don't know as much about the Arc, but it appears to be a Wii remote knockoff.

Personally, I think Natal will be a disaster. It might become relevant next gen though when they have a chance to include it in every new system so it has an installed base from the ground up. But even then, I doubt it will revolutionize anything. It's a glorified EyeToy. Some people seem to think you'll be playing Halo with it and moving around in a 3D space.

Yea i agree the Wii is great but from a gamers stand point the reaction time for motion sensing always dicks me over when im going hard. THE WII IS NOT FOR TRUE GAMERS but merely an A-maaaziingg platform for recreational gamers (Elderly, children, middle-aged non-gamers, etc..) not people who wanna pwn like so hard. (Purepwnage) thats where it fails!
