...Honda is busy making a shit ton of money on Hybrid cars ...
Actually, no, they don't. They lose thousands because to sell a hybrid at a profit means selling one very expensive car. So how do they do it? By cranking out more three-row, fuel-guzzling Pilots that will never carry eight passengers and rarely leave suburbia.

But I digress, of course.

However, maybe the gaming industry could take a note from the automotive industry, specifically, share the bulk of the expensive bits and hope no one looks too closely to notice. If the PS4 and the XBox 720 shared all the same internals, differing only in case design and controllers... there would still be fanboys and flame wars, but developers would have a hell of an easier time with only one basic powerhouse system to design games for. That's assuming that Nintendo doesn't decide to put raw processing horsepower in the Wii II (I wanted to put four "I"s in a row... or is that five now?), but with the "relatively cheap, gimmicky toy" strategy working so ridiculously well, somehow I don't see a beefy system coming from the big N any time soon.

No, that name is retarded. the actuaql title is PsWii60
That's also the title for this generation of gaming.
Well, if thats how it works, it will likely be the Ps3Wi0

Ironically neither was I. My first platform was the PS1 yet I still know a little bit about the history of Videos and Games.
Stop that, you're making me feel old I remember when the Atari 2600 was hot stuff.
Ya me too. Why is the Colecovision vs Intellivision vs Atari not mentioned?

It's either intellivision or Colecovision that i'm mentioning, but one of those was vastly supirior than the Atari as playing the "baseball" game actually looked ilke you were playing baseball on the Collecovision/Intelivision consoles.

:p

I had an adapter for my Coleco that let me play all Atari games (providing I had the cartridge) so it must have been the Intellivision. Although the graphics weren't vastly different from each other (not like comparing the PS1 to the PS3 in graphics)

Well I decided to stop beating myself over the head with a stick (the greatest form of fun because nothing new has come out since n64) and deiced to go over to my friends houses, to try some of these things out. upon arriving at my friend with the ps3 there was a brown out (almost lost power) and his PS3 turned into a shiny brick. so we decided to go over to my other friends house to play his 360, witch had plenty of the same game just with different skins on top of it, and after beating the halo series, (which took about 8 hours) we decided to stop and play his wii, which after 30 minutes of frantically waving a wiimote around, beating ourselves over the head with said wiimote, we said this is painful because none of us have the wing span of a six year old midget, and our heads began to hurt from the overly bright primary colours, and stopped and went outside! remember there, where you have to go when bus is late! or your car doesn't start! We had fun outside with paintball guns and the like, so the next game console already exists, you just need to open your door, and go outside! be sure you don't melt from only receiving light from tv's and computers.

I tried playin Outside once. It had great graphics but there wasn't enough splosions and the NPC's weren't very friendly or helpful. And the battle system sucks.

Yeah, but maybe next time you should try a charisma roll before interacting with NPCs, or maybe you should move out of your parents basement, get a job, and a life! nice reply though.

What you gotta roll on your charisma? Well that makes a bit more sense. See that is another complaint. The instruction manual sux.
