I think the most important factor in the success of the Wii, being that it’s quite possibly one of the most idealistic mediums for physical therapy and personal training of the 21st century. Hospitals, health clubs, schools, retirement homes, and anywhere else you can think of. All of these places have one thing in common. Every last one, has purchased in excess of 3 systems each. Being a personal trainer my self, I might be a good source for that statistic. Each of these systems has it’s own piece of ground breaking ingenuity, taking gaming to motion sensory is just a stepping stone, but one that took the world by storm, Blu-ray, walked all over HD, and being that it’s backward compatible with normal DVD’s is phenominal in and of itself, then the Hard drive for memory, saved on cost, and space. Another upside to the hard drive, no need to worry about where your annoying little brother put it this time. This battle for the best gaming system undoubtedly has to be limited to the gaming systems, the 360 and the PS3. Wii, is the next generation in physical rehab, building of hand eye coordination, mobility, reflexes, whatever. As the gaming generation we have to see what direction Nintendo is taking in this next generation of video games. The Nintendo games are targeting personal well being, and quality of life. That’s my tangent.

[…] Video Game Consoles 2007: Wii, PS3 and the Death of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Why Microsoft’s Zune is Still Failing Microsoft’s Unwinnable War on Linux and Open Source Microsoft Behind Linux and OS X in the Battle for Mobiles. And so the tables have turned. Microsoft’s fortuitous rise on the back of one of the least suitable processor architectures isn’t going to be duplicated, at least not by Microsoft. Mobile devices are exploding on top of the ARM architecture, and Apple’s software is on two iconic brands, the iPod and the iPhone, which are both accounting for a significant chunk of mobile devices and currently leading the market in WiFi web savvy.

[…] Video Game Consoles 2007: Wii, PS3 and the Death of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 How Much Does it Cost Developers? In addition to the retail prices that consumers face, there are big differences in costs to developers. The complex and unique nature of developing for the latest games consoles results in significant expenses for developers. Last fall, Sony slashed its fees for the PlayStation 3 SDK in half… to $10,250. Sony has to charge a lot because its SDK involves custom hardware and the package is only shared among the limited number of developers working on console titles. […]

After announcing that Apple would fuel a significant 27% growth in sales of Flash RAM components this year by increasing its own orders by 32.2%, iSuppli is now reporting that it now thinks Flash RAM sales will only grow in the single digits, in part because of fears Apple would “slash” its orders by some unreported amount.
