why nintendo sells: it targets our children!

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="ramey70"]You didn't see the edit. NCAA Football, (and to a lesser extent NCAA 2k7 and NBA 2k7), do not appear on the PC. The consoles provide an all in one compact solution with static system requirements for gaming. I buy a game for 360 or PS3 and I KNOW it will work when I get it home. ramey70

Not all.  The Wii lacks the horsepower I need for gaming while the PC lacks the games (in this case NCAA which is my Zelda, Halo, MGS all rolled into one) and convienance of a console.  If the Wii was even near the PS3 or 360 in power I'd probably be very happy with it.  As it is, it looks like total garbage on my TV almost to the point where it hurts.  I have to leave the room when my wife plays the damn thing. 

PC will always crap on consoles graphics wise...luckily Nintendo decided to go a different route

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]No, they target EVERYONE. ramey70

I have a 56" 1080p HDTV with a $2,000 surround setup.  I demand HD graphics and multimedia capability combined with the latest in online play and  the best AI and physics without having to buy a gaming PC.   The Wii didn't target me.  In fact, it insulted me.

Unfortunately that's not really true.  The maximum acceptable signal of my TV (and most 1080p HDTV'S) is 1920x1080.  A PC outputting higher than that resolution is completely useless to me.   I'd also like to know where this "better Football" game is you speak of.  Does it have detailed stadium models for every D-1 University?  Updated rosters for D-1 and D-1AA schools?  University fight songs?  Team mascots? In depth recruiting aspect?

I think what Vandalvideo means is that the PC is so far the only platform capable of rendering and playing ALL games in TRUE 1080p because of scalability. The majority of 360 and PS3 games will only be 720p.

Actually you don't.  I countered the claim that the Wii targets all people.  In my case it does not, as I'm sure it doesn't target others as well.  Never did I insinuate that my situation was reflective of a majority of society.  By the way, please don't group soccer into sports like hockey and football.  It's insulting to those of us with testicles.

PS2 much?

Your logic has failed you. Punish it...

how about less than $300 on a GOOD game system

No, they target people who want to spend less than $300 on a game system.Darthmatt

Which is targeting children.Because parents will buy a cheaper console for their kids and not an expensive one. And the games need to be what children like in order for the parents to buy it.

They target everyone, not just children.
