"The Playstation revolutionised console gaming"

Refresh me as to how it did that. If it was only because of CD-rom games, thats not much of a revo. The orig. NES brought about what we know as console gaming (though much props go to ATARI, Comodore & blah blah must be given). The Super NES brought us 4 face buttons & 2 shoulder buttons which is pretty much standard for todays controllers (& let us play SFII at home, may its name be ever immortalized). The Nintendo 64 gave us the analogue control stick (& we played Goldeneye till ours were red... & we did not complain). They have made some... blunders, perhaps, on the storage format but they have had to deal less with pirating of their console games, unlike PS2 & XBOX where any mod-er can take what ever game they want.

But I will give Sony some cred, they have done what Nintendo hasn't done since the early 90's: Have every 3rd licensing company making games for their system.

Anyways, I can't wait till I get to mess around with the Wii's controller: do you look like an idoit with it? Maybe. But will it be fun? Most likely.
