    Plus people who buy a Wii actually have money left over to do other things... Like play games on PC.
    Except you know complete Wii Controller sets costing more then competing systems, the tons of cheesy plastic adapter casings necessary to actually play many games. Once you start adding all that stuff up, the Wii becomes very expensive very quickly.

    Umm...Then I think you need a new television.

    PS2


    The PS2 is not even remotely close to the 360/PS3....Also don't understand how a couple of mm of button travel is that big of a deal, when PC gamers manage just fine with far greater travel distance.

    the pc u arnt using your thumb at an angle, were the original and the ps controllers are short travel (and my keyboard has tactile that reads in about 1mm). but most games are the same quality just in HD or have low frame rates, im not saying that all are but most games just dont seam like an upgrade, especialy when compared to the computer

    and way to use a port to compare, things like ico or GT4 or TT all match the current gen
