Yeah, but if the casual gamers aren't going to bite, it's not going to do as well. The Sony fans are still going to defend it rabidly and buy it, but I really don't think that alone will be enough.

But the number of these Sony fans are dwindling, I think. And if Sony can't get the younger kids/casual gamers as well, it won't sell.

Well, like I said- it'd be good, but I honestly can't see it. I do think, as Ush said, they have lost their invulnerability, at least.

Sony is now shipping 500,000 to America and Japan. I knew it was too good to be true that we were for once gonig to have the up on Japan.

is it comprehensible.....

Thats what the big news was. Basically IBM has been shipping the Wiis CPU to NINTENDO factories since July and have sent plenty of them too. This only leaves room for speculation that NINTENDO will launch either in October or November. However we will know for sure on September 14th which is next week when NINTENDO has their big new conference in New York which is expected they will anounce the release date and price.

On another notes Super Paper Mario is Wii confirmed.

I usually like to wait at least 6 months just in case the console has defects. I dont see a need to go out and buy it launch day either because as of right now Im happy with my 360. Plus there are a few games that are about to come out that will keep me playing on the 360 for a while.

im so glad im not as much into videogames as i used to be, this shit'd cost me a fortune.

Minor, but ill post it anyway...

First official boxart for a PS3 game... http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/731/731787/first-ps3-box-art-revealed-20060908115731597.jpg

That's official? 😬

Interesting shape... seems either wider or shorter than the current DVD cases...

And does official include the IGN logo on the sword?😬

Honestly, it doesn't look all that good, I don't think.

Yay! Splinter Cell will launch with the Wii, with special Wii controls. 😛
