Going to trade shows, public shows, being onvolved with the making processes also gives you an insider view of the industry.

Nintendo is going to sell a fucking shit load of units.

Low price. Amazing, and innovative new way of playing a console. Almost every 3rd Party company on board (something they lacked last time round).

At this year's E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo), the largest of all the main videogames industry trade events, the main word on people's mouths was Nintendo.

They announced the Nintendo DS to a lot of Skeptics, and look what happened? Its selling enough to break records.

Nintendo Wii, may have a stupid name. But it's going to blow videogaming out of its current state. Everyone take note.

Nintendo Wii has full motion sensoring. Full positional and rotational detection. It knows where it is in space. No other system has that. Sony announced tilt etc in their controller. But let me make people aware... GameBoy had that same technology years ago. This is different. Imagine playing a first person shooter with the movement controlled on the left hand, and the direction and shoot controlled on the right hand ... actually moving. Imagine cocking the gun back in your hands. Twisting the controller down so you can pistol whip the guy ahead... You don't need a button press... you just do it.

Imagine the possibilities, and open your minds.
