For me, the price point is one of the most important aspects of the Wii. I have two kids, I can't do the cost of a PS3 and the XBox 360 is a hurting price for gaming for me, but something in the range of 150-250 I can handle. The awesome features are a bonus in this case (Hell, did you hear that Hudsonsoft is offering up 100+ games for the VC from their own back catalog, and are looking into getting the rights to games from developers who are not around anymore so they can release them on it too?)

Wii +1

Why, because it's freakin nintendo and VG cats pretty much sums it up for me. Plus my grandma was a hardcore nintendo fan.

PS3 +1

Why, because its going to be the greatest most freakin awsome system to come out yet and is going to rock so hard core!!!!!

X-box sucks ass

WHat you say about PS3 does not make me want to purchase it. It makes me want to steal one, and hand it over to the Mythbusters for "durability testing".
If you give reasons, give REASONS. Not empty phrases said generally by empty headed people that have had any fassionability sucked dry by coroporate slogans and commercials.

Just about every price estimate I've seen floating around places the Revoloution (No! that IS its name! Shut up!) around $200.

Ah, poor, poor denial.

:P

Yes, sweet, sweet denial.

I'm with Knight. Revolution is a cool name... Wii sounds like they just asked a 5 year old to say a random word and he had to use the bathroom...

Technically it was a piss joke, but-

It wasn't meant as a joke. That's what it SOUNDS like, speaking dead serious. It's getting to the point where it's not funny anymore, it just sounds *stupid*.

But whatever - I voted for the last one, because I'm not buying any systems at all... at least not personally. I'm not enough of a gamer to NEED a system of my own, I have people I can leech off of if I really do need, and I don't care about they hype enough to buy one the day it comes out, or even within a few months of it coming out. Frankly, I don't think the Wii will have enough games on it that I want to play. Smash is fun but I don't play it much and it *is* only one game.

I predict that it'll be two years after all these systems come out before I get near one :T_T:

I'm too poor to be a hard core gamer.

Ahhh, remember the days when any system worth its salt was about $99.99, and 149.99 for the first six months or so? THose were the days...

I paid more than that for my PS2 last week.
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

My vote went to Wii, but by now saying so is superflous.

Edit: is anyone NOT getting a Wii?

People who aren't getting anything, apparently.

But we don't count.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

Wii and PS3.

Wii because it's gonna rock.

PS3 will come MUCH later, and it'll be because I'm pretty much gonna have to get it since some of my favorite series may be on it. If all of them get put on Wii, though, I'll never so much as look at PS3 unless the price lowers dramatically.

There are already laptops that use touchpads, isn't that good enough?
