Or in my case... whiskey. That REALLY sucks about your Xbox. Sorry to hear that. It would be a BLAST after a few beers! Or in my case… whiskey.

I traded in my XBox 360 when Microsoft told me I would have to pay $150 or whatever to get it fixed. Then, about a month later, Microsoft extended the warranty to 3 years. Yeah, the timing of all that stuff wasn't very good for me, but oh well. It was fun while it lasted. The DDR pad/Wii-mote is actually pretty funny. I can't imagine how fun that would be after a few beers. Darkheath, No biggie man. I traded in my XBox 360 when Microsoft told me I would have to pay $150 or whatever to get it fixed.

I wasn't meaning to bash you in particular. Just Nintendo. I have never had any system by Nintendo because frankly... I've NEVER seen anything that I would be interested in playing on the system. I am not surprised that there are a lot of people asking for simulation games on the system because there are not any... of ANY genre really. And if you look into the history of Nintendo... you'd be hard-pressed to find any at all. Instead of Project Gotham Racing you get Mario Cart. That about sums it up right there. Now you have a family with young children so, yes... I'm sure it's a good choice for you. And I'm sure family nights are fun. But inherently... the Japanese entertainment culture is just goofy (godzilla, pokemon, yo gi yo or whatever, and geez... just search "japan tv show" on youtube for dozens of other examples!) and Nintendo will be dominated by Japanese games. I don't know what you did with your Xbox, but Microsoft extended all 360 warranties for 3 years. They realized the problem and stepped up to take care of it. Luckily (or unluckily if it craps out after the warranty) it seems I got a pretty good 'box. As far as I'm concerned, there has rarely ever been a game on any system that I couldn't get on Xbox. "Uncharted" on PS3 being the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Anyway... as I said before... it seems this is a good direction for Madden Wii, but I'm sure there are many like Cody who disagree. On another note... what do you think of my DDR-pad/Wii-mote football game idea? Sorry, Cody. I wasn’t meaning to bash you in particular. Just Nintendo.

Microsoft won't be getting any of my money anytime soon. It's a shame what a piece of crap that system is, and they should be ashamed of putting it out. As for the decision to get a Wii, it had a lot to do with family and finances. I was pushing it to get a Wii, and there was no way we could afford a PS3 at the time. If someone wants to throw in a couple hundred extra dollars for me, I'll be happy to get a PS3 as well. :-) I've been happy with the Wii, and there a lot of Wii owners who would like simulation sports games. The Wii is good for the younger audience, but it can be good for the older audience as well. You can go to any Wii message board on the internet and see how many fans want simulation games on the system. I wasn't just making that stuff up. You people can bash on me all you want, but it shouldn't be out of the question to have some simulations on the Wii. It's not all about the 10 and under crowd. Also, if you are telling me Madden will sell better because of the All Play, you are a full of crap. Madden is going to sell on any system regardless of what the hell is included in it, so they should make the versions as similar as possible (with the exception of graphics and online capabilities of course).
