MS is talking bad about the Wii..

check out this ideas:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Wii-Gamers-Will-Move-to-Xbox-Once-They-Grow-Up-50802.shtml

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-039-s-Not-Rushing-Into-Motion-Sensitivity-51136.shtml

http://www.techshout.com/gaming/2007/05/bill-gates-hints-at-microsofts-plans-for-a-motion-sensing-gameplay-in-the-future/

So how would you play a FPS or any game that required aiming with a 3d positional camera? On a side note I am guessing the guy that said the Wii is for little kids.. has he played it? Or does he just look at the games out for it and assume only little kids like those type of games? Me.. I like Wii sports. Who cares about graphics? fun is fun.

As soon as they turn 14? Polls I've seen show the average Wii gamer being a bit older than that.

mudslinging is a compliment, notice last gen MS never said anything about the non threat cube, but always shot down Sony thier main competitor. Well before the PS3 and Wii launched it was MS vs Sony all over again, until the Wii began to outshine both. Now MS seeing its lead in the console war quickly dwindling away is trying to slow down the Wii.

I dunno. I haven't been able to find too many good games on the Wii, so I just got a 360 to pick up the slack. I think MS is on to somthing.

Anyway, I don't want MC to get motion controls. The Wii is enough of that for me. I don't think we need Microsoft to completly pick up all the Wii's slack. And the 360 is doin fine. I wouldn't change anything about it or the Wii(except that the Wii really needs online and better games).

and that 14 year old statement was a bit harsh, but can you really blame them? Just look at ourchoice of games right now.

Well Microsoft's typical way of things is to bully bully then buy and use as their own. So in this case, bully, bully, then copy with changes. A motion viewing camera sounds kid of boring, and will probably be sold as an add on that will never be used, Nintendo at least took their balls and showed them to the world by saying "here is a gaming console DESIGNED AROUND the idea of motion snesing" which in other words means, Nintendo doesnt WAIT AND SEE, because thatswhat losers do.

That's right, losers wait and see, while Nintendo goes and makes a new niche market, and expands the gaming industry once AGAIN while everyone else calls it bullocks, and then gets mad when the ideas work. First off, i'm 25 and love my Wii, and I like MS as a company, but when they start to insult the innovators, its like saying computer OS's are a piece of sh*t yet they go and make one anyways that sucks all on its own.

Sorry bill, your outdated and behind on this one and your just bitter. You'd think one of the richest men in the world would not mind taking a leap of faith and makie a console that is actually different rather than just a graphical upgrade from the last generation of consoles. That's my 2 cents and then some.

Well, anyone who's been paying attention to the Wii when it was still the Revolution would remember post like this.

This is yet more of an indication that:

A. Bill Gates is so rich that he is blissfully unaware of anything outside his own company and life :S

B. We're going to see some Wii ripoffs next gen

I'm not defending one or the other but:

Nintendo's been pretty "wait-and-see" about the whole online gaming thing.

This would be better off in the System Wars forum, due to the interconsole bashing that results from topics like this. Thanks!
