lol AGF XD I was the same way, untill I saw the Wii in action. I was like "WTF the controller is stupid... its like playing games with a TV remote" and "WTF Wii... that sounds like Im talking about going to the restroom" but then I saw how the system works and was like ZOMG... thats awesome... it all make scence now! why the controler is made the way it is.
so yes... the controller looks stupid! but only if you dont understand it.
if you don't know how the system will work and the possiblitys it beings with the games, then it will look stuipid.
but if you understand and seen how the games with be played and understand the possibilitys the Wii brings to games, then you'll understand that the Wii controller Design is not a bad one after all.
that and thousands of people who had said the Wii controller was stupid got a chance to try out the controller on the system and later praised it.
now for those who think I bash the PS3 just because of the high price then you should know that I have watched both the Wii conference and the PS3 conference and look up both the system specs on the PS3 and the Wii and I found this out.
the low end 499.99 PS3 is more for the gamer who plays very little games on his PS3. the reason that is, is because the PS3 uses Bluetooth technology and that uses alot of room on the PS3 MemoryCard.
so the casuel gamer would have to get the 599.99 PS3 just to have room for memory space... and the Differnec between the low-end version and the high-end version of the PS3 is 40GB more of harddrive space... thats only 3x more then the low-end.. which means your memory card is still going to run out of room fast.
The Wii on the other hand takes up very little on the Memory card, has Free online play, can play the Gamecube games we love, cost alot less then the PS3 and has a virtual console so you can download old NES, SNES, SEGA and N64 games for just a few bucks.
