I read somewhere, can't remember where, that in TW08 you can customize a
golfer with an uploaded picture and then upload that golfer to the wii
remote to take to other wii golf parties and use it once you register your
wii as a guest. Is this true? Can't find any place to show me how.
Thanks!

If the sales continue as they have been for Nintendo and their little
white Wii, gamers'll be looking at the top-dog for overall console
says–best selling console ever. This would push Sony's PlayStation 2
to the second spot of awesome console victories over the last seven
generations of gaming hardware.
Sony has been able to utilize the PS2 and its profitability to glide
through the initial PS3 sales slump and get the momentum growing for
their current generation console.
Yet, some folks are comparing the PlayStation 3 to the GameCube in
terms of sales performance.

Did you actually read the article or are you just pulling a Blig and
using only what can support your fanboyism?
"But, is the PS3 like the GameCube? There are too many factors to make
that comparison, especially considering the growth in the game
industry, the growth of storage and video technology and the general
acceptance of video games. Hell, you can buy video games at
convenience stores in the United States now, the industry isn't the
same as it was in 2001."
The author is actually saying how that comparison is NOT valid, which
should have been obvious to anybody when they read that the "PS3 is
like the GameCube in sales" comment was made only about U.S. numbers.
The Playstation 3 sold much better than the GameCube did in Europe.

That's probably just from the hardware end since Nintendo aren't known
for selling hardware at a loss. No doubt Sony made a lot more than
Nintendo on the software markup.

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.
