Batman! Alright how did PS3 do? It better not have done better than Wii because its design is not heading towards the future of gaming and has no new ideas to bring to the table. All PS3 is, is a bunch of advanced products crammed into a small box calling it a system. You can at least interact with Wii.

Love the Wii although don't love some of the control layouts that developers have set out for the games. Marvel alliance I'm looking at you. Some controls such as button mashers should just stay as button mashers okay? Don't create fancy shakie shakie motions to pull off your moves in brawlers cause it just creates wankers cramp and I can do a good enough job of that myself. I really hope that developers look at the amount of time you will be playing that game vs control layout even if they make it so it can also be used with the classic control as well as the wii-mote. Come on Wii is awesome but take the time to think does my control scheme work with the wii-mote and am I going to give the player crippling cramp. Can we create alternative control scemes for players who spend half the night playing these games. Zelda has a great balance and is a great example of how Wii can work.

It's interesting that Madden won some awards on the Wii. It shows that the sports games aren't just about graphics. I can't put Madden down right now.

It's better than PS3. PS3 is $600. Might as well get a computer. To me PS3 is the same as PS2. Just with better graphics, and a new look. Wii has better controls with the wiimote.

I played the PS3 and all it is is a system with good graphics. Wii's graphics are far from PS3's, but I would be willing to sacrifice graphics for interactive gameplay and innovativness.
