Jonbu the baker

E3 is the time of the year when all secret gaming nerds expose themselves unintentionally out of uncontainable excitement. (better run a spellcheck on that)

With sony’s annoucnement of november 17th ship date for the ps3 ( which is more than half a year away), wouldn’t it be nice if Nintendo takes another page from Steve Job’s book ( the Wii controller already reminds me of an ipod) and say

“We will ship this product, -pause-, TODAY. Wii’s are being mailed out of our factory in Japan as we speak. And it will hold -one -billion- -songs- — yes. now let me show you the ad.”

Probably won’t happen. But let’s hope nintendo can outsmart sony who made a sneaky move today with that motion sensing controller. I don’t want to have to buy both again, but I know I will eventually. At least it only happens every 5 years. 5 years ago I had no money and $500 seemed like a huge amount. Good thing they’re both backward compatible. My tiny coffee table can only hold 2 consoles.
