Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Dean and I bribed Gordo and family with half a dozen glazed donuts so we could check out their new Wii. Having now played the Nintendo, I predict the Wii will come out ahead in the console wars. I don't even have to play the PS3 orXbox 360. Despite the goofy name, the Wii is fun, cheap and accessable. Microsoft and Sony may battle it out for the "hard core gamer" crowd (males 18-35), but this Wii thing will be selling to the masses. Lots and lots of masses. And that includes the female masses. First, the Wii includes making your own "Mii", which is remarkably similar to The Sims, an already breakout hit with the ladies. Second, the controller looks just like a remote control - which makes it very accessable to the first time gamer. That and the entire thing is cute! This means the wii is gonna be a hit with just about everyone else under the age of 18 - and probably a few those 18-35 folks too. I mean face it, its just fun to jump around your living room. (though unfortunately, I'm too big to do somersaults on the couch like Ruben and Link.)
