I know that there's a "craziness" around this consoles, they're new, "updated" platforms; they have internet connection; wireless motion detectors controls; but like the PS2 thing, this thing will "calm down" in  about a year or so; but, personly, i don't understand the excitement around this consoles, wait a while, prices will go down, games will add up and the store will have a few in the back room (or basement), it's not like i'm anti-console kinda guy but... man!
