In the last generation system war, with GameCube, Playstation 2, X-Box, Gameboy Advance, I always told my friends how much I like the GameCube and Gameboy Advance. They weren’t the best or most hyped, but i made them the best and most hype cause I really did like Nintendo, even though I still had a hard time wondering why they didn’t make the N64 with a CD-ROM Drive, so to see a Nintendo with a Mini DVD Drive in the GameCube had me really happy, and full of it (lol), Because when I thought they were going to blow PS3 and X-Box 360 out of the water with something better, they did the opposite, and told rub salt on your bruises the insist on me calling it a GameCube 2, to make up for what the GameCube 1 did make in sales, so it's more of a rematch than a new match, that’s why they say they are in no competition with PS3 or X-Box 360, which is the biggest lie ever told by Nintendo, because the GameCube didn't sell as much as they would have like it to, and when it came time to fund the Next-Gen Nintendo System they Had no choice but to REMAKE the GAMECUBE, and in secret call it the GAMECUBE 2, with a WII Name that looks alot like a World War 2 (WII) in the action logo. lol. cause they didn't win the first, that all i have to say for now, Love the review, I am for the PS3 now that I know what Nintendo's secrets was....

i dont know why people are so crazy about the wii being technologically inferior to the other consoles, the gamecube was waaaaay superior than the PS2 and lost the console wars anyway, so this really isn't a decisive factor. nintendo is not remaking the gamecube because it didnt won the previous gen console wars, and the wii is NOT a competitor to the ps3 and xbox360, they are at totally opposite market segments. wii is targeted at the non gamer / casual gamer / family market whereas xbox/ps3 are targeted at the pro-gamer market (just compare the price tags). taking that in consideration, the tech specs of the wii really DOES NOT matter, even if it was a Nintendo64 rebuild it wouldn't make a difference... nintendo IS blowing out the PS3, but if you thought they would do that with better graphics then you thought wrong, they said from the beginning they would take another approach to gaming, and they did just that. praise to then for using their brains and coming up with something new (if you take that in consideration, the ones who are fooling you are sony and microsoft, they did nothing more than remake their previous consoles with a better hardware). understand that the wii was not made with YOU in mind, the PS3/360 was, so go buy then and stop whining.
