Plus, you aren't buying this consoles for graphics but for the form of game play this system will procure (and it's fully backwards compatible with the Gamecube).

It's a value system, in all honestly.

(internal storage wasn't removed, you'll be able to 'up' it with SD cards and possibly hard drive (thanks to its USB ports))

Buying a PS3 would be like buying a modded Dodge Neon.

Edit: PS3:

- Different performance from each console as they're accepting Cell processors (due to how complicated this processor is) with three non-working cores out of seven.

- Some games to cost about 100 bucks due to Blu-Ray (although Ubisoft said they'd sell theirs for 60).

- HD format hardly anybody wants (this also applies to HD-DVD).
a)forcing Blu-Ray down developers'/publishers' throats.

- Games held responsible for "amazing" sales also available on other systems.

- Giant enemy crab != innovative game play (see: Sony's E3 Press Conference).

- Low-end PS3 without HDMI output.

- DRM makes people angry >:0.

- It's all about the graphics, while that shouldn't be the case.

- Only 500,000K units available Worldwide (excluding Europe, because Sony hates Europe).
a)4,000,000 Wiis before the end of the year.

- Online system way too similar to Xbox Live.

+ Interesting home entertainment package for a small cost (Sony isn't making any money with the console first to establish a player base).

Wii:

- Nunchuk controller no longer bundled with 'Wiimote'.

- Nunchuk to cost $20 (same for the 'old school' game pad).

- 'Wiimote' cost $40, runs on AA batteries, which is somewhat disappointing.

- Wiipoints system basically a copycat of Xbox Live.
a) + free access to the system.

- No DVD playback.
a) +/- Everyone's got a DVD player.

- I was expecting $40 games, personally.

- DRM makes people angry >:0.

- 480p doesn't look good on every TV (although you can change the aspect ratio, most of the time).

- Launch Date (2 days after the PS3 making it even worse).

+ Small form factor.

+ Usual Nintendo hardware quality (as opposed to the flimsiness of say, the Playstation 2 (the PSOne was fine).
a) Also Nintendo technical support, which is outstanding.

+ Opens the way to a new kind of game play.
a) Original games and good launch lineup.

+ Apple-esque simplicity, this also applies to the interface.

+ Wii Sports included.

+ Cost effective, non-proprietary memory format (SD).

+ Value.

+ Opera browser (free until June 2007, will cost Wii points afterwards).

+ Units available at launch (no Xbox 360 Ebay bullshit).

+ Probably going to expand the overall gaming community due to its simplicity.

+ "Wiimote" storage, to bring your personal settings with you.

That kind of sums it up.

Oblivion:
Where did you read that the only color available was going to be white?

FUCK
