I too think that Barbie's Playtime Funhouse is juvenile and a little girly. I just don't know what Mattel was thinking, releasing such a toy in the face of the XBox 360 and the PS3. Without HD output (or any video output for that matter), a lack of internal harddrive (or any data storage for that matter), and no Wifi Draft-N (or any network connectivity whatsoever), it just simply can't compete. Ignoring the fact that billions of dollars worth of Barbie dolls merchandise sell every year, clearly Mattel has no idea what they are doing.*
*In case you missed it, that was sarcasm aimed at every "Nintendo Sucks" douche-bag who keeps posting about what a failure the console is. 25+ years of experience, the #1 console (50+ million Wiis sold), and the #1 handheld (over 100+ million DSs sold), are success under any terms. Whether or not the Wii directly competes with the 360 and PS3 is meaningless.
What's next, the Toyota Camry is a failure because it doesn't have the horsepower of a Corvette or the fancy keyless electronics of a Lexus?
