How do you figure?
The Playstation 2 reached a state of profitability on the hardware
less than 2 years after the system launched. While the Nintendo
GameCube might have had hardware profitability from the get go (as
Nintendo always does), total lifetime sales of the system were less
than 1/6 the total lifetime sales of the Playstation 2 (which is STILL
selling even now).
Sony made a lot more money on the games as well considering how damn
many of them sold.

Yet, some folks are comparing the PlayStation 3 to the GameCube in
terms of sales performance.
That's what they get for not making all PS3 backwards compatible with PS2
games. If they had done that then Sony would have sold far more PS3
machines.
I have a PS3 and it has been relegated to a BD player mostly because there
are just not enough games for it that interest me. I do 99% of my gaming on
the PC still. I won't be buying that stupid noob kids toy the Wii either.
All their games are for people with IQs below 70 or toddlers.

So did the Philips Videopac (the European version of the Odyssey 2).
Doesn't mean anything either way.
While I do like the Wii over the PS3 and X3, I hold fanboyism in any
form in disdain. These platform wars have been going on since the first
generation of consoles, and in the final tally, the real winners are the
ones who have fun with the machines they own.
'Nuff said.

I'm trying to add friends to my Wii adress book, but they are still greyed
out after 24 hours! I've also tried to add my own PC's email address as a
check, but that is also greyed out.
Are the Nintendo servers overloaded with all the new Wiis sold over
Christmas perhaps??
