Good article on Nintendo's return to the top

Wii and DS Turn Also-Ran Nintendo Into Winner in Videogames Business - WSJ.com (http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB117691936534774315-8etEC5kxRNMI1HhBRjv9RlTi_Ms_20070518.html?mod=tff_ main_tff_top)

I got one. I LOVE it. It's so much fun. The wireless internet connection may be the best part; I've downloaded Punch Out, the original Legend of Zelda, and Gradius for NES, MarioKart and StarFox for N64, and Sonic the HedgeHog for Sega Genesis. I love being able to play my old favorites when I was growing up on the same system that has these awesome motion sensing games.

Wii Sports is a riot. Tiger Woods golf is also great, realistic scenery from real golf courses around the world. And the game play is very realistic.

I still haven't seen one in stores yet. But then again I'm not exactly going out of my way to hunt one down. I'll definitely be picking one up once they are readily available.

Now that I have a 360 I think at this point I'll be passing on the PS3.

Matty...did you pick up Rainbow Six Vegas yet???

No not yet, I've played the demo and it's definitely on my short list of games to get.

I'm also leaning heavily towards getting F.E.A.R.

Guitar Hero II is keeping my pretty busy for now though.

Big surprise. Sony pissing their dominance away with their ego. Go Nintendo and XBox.

It's really amazing to see how Nintendo has gone from chumps to champs and the complete opposite for Sony, all so quickly.

This is exactly what we were talking about back before PS3 actually came out. How the price point would kill the product and put them back years. Within 2 years xbox's new system will be out and it will be better than ps3 and cheaper. Until then Wii is going to be the popular one with xbox right behind because in the end I don't know that Sony can lower the price on the PS3 enough to make it more popular without taking a total bath on it. Stupid idiot proprietary crap making Sony.

Yeah I think Sony really banked on product loyalty and totally underestimated just how much their initial price point would turn even the most loyal of PS fans away.

Going over the $500 mark for a console no matter how great it may be is virtual suicide.
