but there's some points that i haven't seen made
mainly that gesture recognition on the wii
will be as hard a problem as handwriting recognition
(in fact, the wii should innovate handwritten input)
because gestures have a pre-existing logic
that logic does not yet know
if you're tired
if you're hyper
if your body position changes
simple gestures become harder to distinguish
so expect a lot of frustration
as programmers/designers master this new domain
also
the whining about the ps3 price is a joke
people already forgot how they'd been making jokes
about buying a ps3 just for the cheap blu-ray drive
nextgen game machines can't possibly cost less to make
than top-of-the-line gaming pc's
and serious gamers will pay
but the real contest between xbox2 and ps3
will be their online experience
and sony is playing multiyear catchup there
