Wii!

For those poor saps that don't know yet you better ask somebody. Nintendo's new system is the shiznite, and it's now called the "Wii" (as opposed to its pre-release name of the Revolution). Much discussion has been had over the quality of the name; is great or garbage and what it means to the system. The short story is "it doesn't matter!" (said like the Rock). Nintendo will make great games on a good cheaply priced system and people will snatch it up by the handfuls. With the next gen consoles priced between $400 and $600 dollars, a Wii priced at $250 will be what finds it's way into homes during the notoriously money tight christmas season. The fact that it plays old gamecube games is a huge factor seeing as how the gamecube still costs $100. And when you have games like Super Smash Brothers:Brawl coming out for it, there is no reason to doubt the system including the crappy name and all. Come on, Solid freakin' Snake is in it, with a Cardboard box! This is going to be hot.
