I would like to post my own interpretation of Reggie Fils Amie. Or, at least, the message I think was being conveyed. I need to make a special note; this is not what the man said. It's my own reading, with my own input. This is neither what he said nor how he said it.

Ahem.
We, at Nintendo, are not extremely interested in high tech graphics and 1337 kewl physics. Which is not to say that we are disregarding them entirely, but if that's your cup of tea, please leave. If you are stoked by hawt graphics and killer 3D model renderings, go out and buy a PS3 or Xbox. We totally understand.
But if you play games as well, please stay.
Nintendo is in the business of making games. We are pioneers in gameplay innovations and we take pride in shaking up the industry. We gamble our company with near-every creation we make, and we're proud of that. Wii is no exception.
The Nintendo DS is entirely different from any previous handheld. It senses blowing, has a touch screen, etc. That was a risk, and it paid off. The Wii has motion sensing controls, split controls, and a silly name. We're confident.
We are not a hardware company. We're a game company. This is key. We make new ways to play games. For everyone.
As for which next-gen system to buy, go buy a PS3 or Xbox. Buy either one, though I don't suggest both. They're similar, though both effective. But, keep in mind. Whichever one you end up buying, you're gunna buy a Wii in addition. You're gunna own a Wii, or you're gunna own a Wii and a Playstation.
But you are going to own a Wii.
We are not competing directly with Sony or Microsoft. If you're a gamer, you absolutely cannot pass up a system that does what ours does. The controller is a tennis racket, a sword, and a fishing rod. Outside a Vegas arcade, it's like nothing you have played with.
So you are going to own a Wii.
We aren't splitting this market three ways. We're taking our share of interested gamers, and Sony and Microsoft can compete. On indifferentiable tech and specs and hardware, they can compete. But if you're interested, you will buy our system too.
Because our system is really next-gen.
Next-gen, as in evolving gameplay. As in new games for new gamers and progress. So, you might buy a "hardcore" system as well. But you're gunna buy a Wii. While they're treading the path of further tech and computers, we're walking the path of video games.

Here is my questions, ISNT the controller sensing 3-d motion, fairly advanced? It seems like the graphics are just.. better math with more cutting edge art students. As long as your hardware supports it (for $350 it better) what is so special about the PS3 or Xbox. But, maybe I just dont' understand how game design works. -jessie

Xbox has Halo... which.. I've doscovered... is reason enough for some people to buy the system

Halo has frat boys, which... I've discovered... is enough.
