Personally I think they've came in at a great time and the prices of everything are great, it's not too overpriced like most new consoles and it's out to prove that graphics aren't everything. I'm really considering saving up to buy a Wii (obviously I'll be getting a 360, but yeah) just for the party games.

The whole virtual game thing is really cool, so what do you think? Who'll be getting a Nintendo Wii then?

haha, sorry about the stupid mistake!

I like the controllers idea, it would be very cool to play a 1st person shooter that way. However, I don't know if we gonna buy it.

hehe i wonder if Australia will come under the Japan release date, probly although the chances of me getting it are minimal, but it sounds cool and doesnt look to bad either

Meh, I will still be going to my friends to play Super Smash Bros Brawl......not worth buying for me in my opinion!

I might actually buy one... hmm

I like the idea of the controller, but they should put up more information about the improved gamecube controller that you can buy for it, I'd probably only buy it for the party games though, like Mario Golf etc.

Yeah the wii looks cool and all but i don't think i will have the funds to buy one

I wouldn't mind knowing what some of the games being planned are though...

Don't always trust wikipedia for your details, remember that it's not ran by officials, it's ran by amateur people most of the time, so the details aren't always up to date.

To be honest, I'll probably end up buying a Playstation 3 and a Xbox 360, simply because they're the two more "mature" consoles which most good games come out for. For example: Silent Hill, Killzone, Project Dark, Condemned, King Kong, Need for Speed... the list goes on .

I smell a console flame war coming on...traxor has put his foot in it.

The only reason I want a PS3 is for three series' those being, MGS, Resident Evil and Final Fantasy. Although I am gonna wait untill the price of the machine has come down and all the bugs have been ironed out of it before I buy one.

If the PS2 is anything to compare it with then there'll be plenty [of bugs].

PS3 FTW!!

I am so guna get one. Don't want a 360. I had an Xbox but sold it, my trusty PS2 never failed me

<3 playstations

My PS2 has never failed me either, even though its pretty old, a "V5" I just fitted it with a harddrive and got homebrew software on it

I will get a PS3 if I have money and can budget for it
