wow. it has one preety big week. well not here in scotland, but elswhere in the gaming world, hell yeah! i cant help but thinking that more consoles would have equalled an even bigger frenzy in the us and japan, since people would've thought they would have a realistic chance of getting one. its got a few bugs, but my opinion of the sysytem is overall very high. im not one that needs radically new gameplay, just a ramped up experience from last gen. if i had the money, i would buy the wii, but i am going to concentrate my efforts on getting a ps3 in march. i would have to try out the wii to come to a decision, with the ps3, i know what i'm getting but with wii, we dont know what we bii getting! but their launch went (more) swimmingly than sony's. plenty consoles + low price + one killer game = happy customers. sony should really learn. resisitance looks good, but not that good. i.e. not worth an 8.8.. or a 9.5.. whatever....
