Hello there! I think it is better to continue an exchange of opinions through User Talk pages than in the article, since that is against the guidelines. Three comments about this:
- In case you haven't already noticed, hardcore players have already left Nintendo after they stated they were not going for HDTV nor processing power.
- As for the timming, what better than just a week before E3? Gamers will have time to discuss all they want, but only for a week. Then, games will talk, and we already know that is Nintendo's best language.
- Non gamers don't care about what gamers think. Non gamers don't check Gamespot boards, don't read game articles or reviews, don't talk in 133t, don't know what is "cool". They just read common magazines, watch TV, listen to radio, and ask clerks about options. They read Time magazine and read about 5 New Things That Will Blow Your Mind. They watch Discovery Channel and see the infomercial about Nintendo games. They don't tell their co-workers "If boss comes, tell him I went to wee", nor understand when youngsters use slang for everything. They don't know about the difference between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Imagine a gamer going to an art museum. That is how a non gamer feels when they go to a game store. Unless the clerk laughs whenever someone requests a Wii or there are Microsoft or Sony posters explaining that for some Wii may mean something awful, it is likely non gamers will never learn about the matter. Do you think a gamer whose parents _want_ to buy a console will tell them "No! Wii means xxxx, please buy Xbox 360 instead!". I don't think so. -- ReyBrujo 17:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
