I was a big fan of the wii concept from the first reveal and always thought it was going to be a big hit, and of course it was. This one... I'm not feeling it yet. People think motion gaming is a gimmick. Maybe, but it's a 100 million unit selling gimmick. The screen in the controller is imo a real gimmick, since I don't think it serves enough of a purpose and therfore will not sell 100 million. But just initial thouhts, will wait for full details.

Not to mention... It's been done. I liked it, too, but that console... Didn't do so well. What console am I?
Yeah, if you figure MS can charge about 200 now for the arcade unit and turn a profit, something slightly more advanced for 250 would be Nintendo's starting point I guess.

As for the rumors... honestly... it boggles my mind as well... in no way does this seem practical...

I really.. am curious about e3 now, not that I wasn't before.

Though slightly unrelated... I did always say I wanted the Dreamcast's VMUs to return... haha
