Not according to Square Enix's CEO Yoichi Wada. In a recent story, Wada talks up the DS and Wii while downplaying the PS3 and Xbox 360 as being "over-engineered" and "mismatched." Basically, he says that there are way too many specs that go with the console and that it's confusing. But seriously, is it really that confusing? It seems like if you have enough intelligence to be able to play video games then you should realize what is going on with these consoles. But wait, you need to know what kind of TV to hook your 360 or PS3 up to so that it looks good, but how does all that work and how do I know if I'm getting the right TV?! Is this the problem that's deterring gamers from these "over-engineered",confusing systems? I know nothing about TVs, but I do know if you want it to look better, you hook it up to an HDTV. Any kind will work as far as I know. And if you don't have an HDTV, plug it into a regular TV. Some people forget those exist, but games still look nice on them. Then there is the whole confusing part about which system bundle do I get, the 360 with the 20GB HDD or the Elite? Come on people, it's the 21stcentury, if you don't know what a gigabyte is, then you shouldn't be dealing with any electronics. Is this really so complicated that everyone is completely turned off by the system and feels they must purchase a Wii for its simplicity? What can't be explained about the 360 or PS3 to a consumer in under 5 minutes that should help them make their decision on which console to purchase? Isn't that what sell reps are for? So if you are confused about either the PS3 and 360, let me put it simple. Want the picture to look sharper on your games, buy an HDTV and make sure you have the right cables. Want a console with more room to save stuff on? Buy the console that has the highest number beside the letters "GB". Don't know which console is more suited for you, look up the games that are out and that are coming out on each console and determine which games you will want to play the most. Then pick the console that has the most of those games. There, I just made someone's life easier. Now, lets stop calling video game systems complicated.
