Oh man you are a fool. Why did you have to make that bet? You are insane.

Zelda Games have a kind of magic that cannot be reached by anyo other game. Gears OF War is just another shooter game like RFOM and so many others.

Zelda TP has been haunting all the gamers for the past year and GS is surely gonna give it a high score and i am sure that it will get higher than GOW. Its just insane to even think of it.

It WAS insane to think GeoW could outscore Zelda. All these bets in Zelda's favor seemed pretty safe, even from the MS fanboys' viewpoint.

Well congratulations on your bet and whatnot :P.

The Wii sure seems set to sell a lot of consoles, this winter in particular.  But unlike all prior Nintendo consoles, Wii is shabby rubbish, distinguished by nothing but a unique controller.  Moreover, the technology in the controller, like everything about the Wii, is simple and cheap, which is to say, easily replicated.  If Wii's unique interface becomes a hit, you can count on Wii's competitors to introduce their own motion-sensing controllers; wait, one of them already has.

How special will Wii be when both Sony and MS have released their motion-sensing or precision-aiming controllers?  At that time the only difference will be cost.  Unfortunately for Nintendo, cost becomes less of a factor in every console generation, as prices drop.  Will Wii's future be so rosy when its competitors' prices fall, and they also both feature motion-sensitivity/precision-aim interfaces?  How long did N64's single analog stick distinguish it from PS1?  Mind you, the PS1 was in many ways less powerful than N64.  What will save Wii then?

Wii-mote's speaker?

I'm glad you're hopeful and stuff, but I think you are not seeing some pretty obvious eventualities.  Your post was a fun read, all the same.

So what you're predicting is that Sony and Microsoft will blatantly copy the Wii, and then the Wii is in trouble?

From what I've seen, it's better to make something than to steal something, because the maker always has the first step, while the stealer is playing catch-up. The PSP is "modeled after the GBA" (Which is a gross understatement) but that's just Sony playing catch-up, which killed them, because Nin was making the next move.

The sheep are relying on the fact that not everyone yet has a HDTV and the fact that the PS3 is 500 and 600 to think they are gonna win. How parthetic...spyrosklaou

That is what's in our favor. You people seem to use "teh grafix!!1!" a lot, are we really more pathetic than that?

:lol: You're kidding right? How can a suped up GameCube possibly beat modern HD capable consoles like the 360 and the PS3? Not everyone still games on a GoldStar 19" TV with RF input only! :roll:GG7

Someone either does not know how to read, or has fanboy goggles so tight, it's made him blind.

I would quote this generic "Wii can't win" post, but I think its success will speak for itself.

[QUOTE="King_Reyes"]Controller = gimmick that people will get used to it fast and throw it away
Graphics = sucks and it doesn't support HD
Hardware = Gamecube 1.1 the only new thing there is the Processor
Games = Out of Miyamoto's kiddy ass and repetative crappy Mario games
Price = You get what you pay for. The only crap you hype about is this

Anything to add?VERTIGO47
