Okay, you've seen the post below and read the press releases regarding the November 17th launch of Nintendo's new console and I agree with Victor about some of the struggles facing a Nintendo with a "post PS3" launch. However, I don't think we should discount the "non-hardcore" gamer market that Nintendo hopes to strike a chord with given the "...intuitive control system that will be understood immediately by everyone, regardless of their previous experience with video games..." as quoted on their releases. Nintendo has said all along that they hope to introduce a whole new audience to our beloved industry and I believe it's not the "hardcore" gamers out there that are going to be a large contributor to the success of Wii(I hate that name too) but rather those looking to dip their toes into the world of chips and bits.
One final thought...The gaming community has also been screaming for innovation in games for years now and this unique controller scheme could be just what the doctor ordered. Don't get me wrong I'll be in line for a PS3 too, but I'm not counting out Mario and the gang just yet!
