Look at it this way. Though a devout PS2 fan, the princess and I got a GameCube to follow the Resident Evil series and we got caught up in a whole host of other great games and had an absolute ball with it (and still do). I honestly think, despite siding with the PS3 in the next-generation console wars; I’ll be waiting on the Wii to hit shelves too. Heck, it’ll be the price of about two PS3 games… so its not a huge hit to the hip-pocket.
That’s the really danger I think. Because despite great titles I think the other two consoles have the wind in their sales (i.e. hype, media attention and all the rest); so I think the Wii will be the second-purchase for a solid share of gamers. And I think that’s what’s so brilliant about Nintendo’s strategy… hit the lead, by coming runner-up in the households of next-gen gamers everywhere. Because while Sony and Microsoft split the market, Nintendo can happily cater to both camps…

My thoughts exactly.
I mean, Kelsey Grammer has gone on record to say that it will be "Frasierific," and by golly, I would have to think that means something. We all know the greatness Grammer has shown in such classic shows as Frasier and Cheers, not to mention his brief cameo appearance in Wings, and to question his entrance into the world of video gaming is just silly.
With a launch line-up that includes great games like Frasier: The Curse of the Lost Wine, Eddie’s Quest: Tale of the Silent Bard, Niles n’ Times, Daphne’s Magical Mop and High Crane Drifter, I really can’t think of any other console that could top that. I mean, seriously, that is a killer line-up with games that are definitely going to be classics.
And the price will probably be pretty cheap. There’s no doubt in my mind that Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft will be kicked out of the gaming market with the arrival of the Frasier gaming console! Don’t delay! PRE-ORDER YOUR FRASIER GAMING CONSOLE TODAY!
however the Wii is probably the only one i’m considering right now. Maybe i’ll get the 360 too since it could be dead cheap in a year or so.
I would buy a ps3 only because of the 3rd party comapnies and their games.
Wii is the best console that comes out.
