I really like the idea of the controller and think it will be great for games such as Zelda and Metroid. But we’ll see.
Also, Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube was an adult game, and it wasn’t ugly at all.
And another reason the graphics won’t bother me quite so much is that I don’t have an HDTV so there’s not going to be that big of a difference.
Wii is 480p, 360 is 780p and PS3 is 1080p. So if you’re going strictly for graphics on your HDTV, go with the PS3…
Personally, Playstation games have never impressed me much aside from a game here and there.

I’ll give it credit for what it is: different. It’s a new idea. It’s a clever gimmick that will probably sell a bunch of console to a couple people that wouldn’t buy something like a PS3.
I won’t be buying one for several reasons.
–Firstly, it’s a rip off. The system is literally an overclocked Gamecube with a weird controller. I can buy a used Gamecube for $40, what is this thing doing at $250?
–Secondly, I think the waggle gimmick will get old very very quickly. I like to flop on the couch, have a beer or six, and play some madden. It seems like it’d be a chore to sit in front of the sensors with perfect posture and flap my arms around in perfect rythum just to play a videogame.
The waggle thingy also seems much more suited to mini games like whack-a-mole, Wario Ware type games rather than shooters and action games. Mini games are fun, but they’re mini for a reason. Everything I’ve seen so far is “LOOK! It’s a tennis racket!” or “LOOK! It’s a fishing pole!” Does anyone really play those types of game for more than 15 minutes?
–Lastly, Nintendo just doesn’t make games I want to play. They have Zelda and Metroid. For an adult, that’s it. They created no new adult franchises with the GameCube, all they did is put Mario in a ton of kiddie sports games. I need more than that.
As far as third parties go, it’ll get the “ugly” version of every multiplatform game out there, and it’ll probably get a lot of ports from third party crap from last generation, just like the DS gets.[/quote]
