The Wii: One Small Step for Nintendo, One Giant Leap for Gaming

Fox News has an article up on the Wii entitled “The Wii: One Small Step for Nintendo, One Giant Leap for Gaming”.

“(Wii) will put to rest any fears that it won’t be able to compete with Sony’s super-powered PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s already established Xbox 360…20-something tech journalists gathered at a Nintendo media demonstration in New York last month…the group burst into furious cheering, hysterical giggling and petulant whining: “So-and-so is taking too long. It’s my turn. No, it’s my turn. Hey, quit hogging the controller”…It was a group of middle-aged men dressed in smart three-piece-suits.”

“It was the power of the Wii, and it was unreal…When the Wii review model was set up in the FOXNews.com newsroom, a crowd quickly developed as editors and reporters took turns swinging at imaginary baseballs, driving two-dimensional golf balls and lobbing unseen tennis serves…The high point came during the boxing game, when two video editors wore themselves out, arms swinging as they landed blows on each other’s on-screen counterparts, displayed side by side on the tiny 14-inch TV.”

“(Wii) is thought to pump out 735 MHz, about twice the clock speed of the GameCube, but a far cry from the 3.2 GHz Cell processor…The Wii, however, is not about horsepower; it’s about fun…The Wii is a damn good gaming console…In fact, after playing with a Wii for a while, PlayStation and Xbox can start to look like an exercise in nihilistic thumb gymnastics.”

cubeboy is a net god WHO PRADICTED WIIMOTE AND NUNCHUCK 1 YEAR BEFORE NINTENDO SHOWN IT…..
i described allmost perfectly the wiis controls 2 years ago the mighty cubeboy wrote on many a site the following….

in the left hand a small mouse like pod with anolog stick and trigger buttons and somekind of motion sencer gyro

in the right hand another pod with tiggers and a d-pad and a full on 3d gaming mouse gyro
i allso said dual rumble
i got the shape of wiimote wrong and its still not nown if dual rumble wil be avalable probably not

but i got everything else currect
i allso stated that both pods will include motion sencing i said it again just before the rumor hit the net if cubeboy was the only guy online on planet earth that currectly predicted wiis controls i think it would serv other gamers to read with open minds and a desire to learn NO IM NOT BEING BIG HEADED IV GAMED SINCE 1980 IM 34 I WAS THERE AT THE BEGGINING IM STIL PLAYING NOW
