First of all you have to buy the 60GB 360, cos the arcade one (the cheap one) is shit. Second, you need to buy an extra controller and then charge packs, because Microsoft hate you and therefore didn't just build a rechargeable controller. Then you have to spend £60, SIXTY FUCKING POUNDS, on AN ARIEL so you can use it wirelessly, cos Microsoft want your dog to starve to death. Then to make the thing work, you have to wrap it in towels and super-heat it cos Microsoft are too retarded to use a soldering iron. After that you actually have to use the thing which is a fucking nightmare of totally retarded design flaws, ranging from very poor menu structure to very poor general performance, and the most ridiculous online shop ever, where you have to buy Microsoft points (or twat points) to buy games and content, instead of just using money, whilst also having to pay a subscription fee to even use xbox live at all. In conclusion, FUCK MICROSOFT. First off, the PS3 is the same price/cheaper than a comparative 360, because Microsoft are robbing rip-off merchant bastards.

Unfortunately for Nintendo's holiday sales figures, the game has been delayed until February, but I think we can safely assume at least several million copies sold in it's first month; the previous 2 installments were unbelievably popular. I think one of the major blessings AND curses of the Wii's popularity is that it can play all Gamecube games. One of th reasons I bought mine at launch was that I could just sell my Gamecube and keep on playing Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Metroid Prime, and every other fun nintendo title. This leaves me with little desire to purchase new Wii games, since after beating Twilight Princess, I'm perfectly happy going back to the oldies-but-goodies.

Speaking as a single-player player, if there isn't a tranformative gaming experience, why commit all that $ on better graphics? I'm assuming that by the time the price drops, developers will have figured out how better to use all the muscle. In the meantime, I still get my fix w/PS2, and can dabble in my friend's 360.
