It is safe to say I am REALLY looking forward to Zelda and Pokemon XD this year (and Geist to a smaller but otherwise essential degree), 2 Christmas treats.

But as a Christmas present I WAS planning on getting a Nintendo DS. Already there are some games I'd like, Pac-Pix, Mario 64 DS, Wario Ware, Touch! Kirby and Yoshi's Touch and Go. But the Christmas line up looks immense. Nintendogs appears a good laugh, Snowboard Kids is back and I am truly looking forward to Goeman. Don't get me started on Mario and Luigi 2 (Dances) and Metroid Prime. It is also online and I have wi-fi (yay).

I have no intention on getting a PSP (even if I do love Medievil) but Microsoft's new system looks the nuts!

A few good games at E3 could easily sway me.

So what do you think?

Really depends on what your definition of a PC is. I think your average person would assume it would boot up in DOS/Windows and come with a mouse and keyboard plus accessories such as a printer.

I didn't say that a PC and Xbox 360 were identical. You've completely misunderstood what I said

This means that Microsoft wanted to make their consoles like PCs. Which is exactly what they've done. Boxing up a PC and selling it as a console doesn't make the console the same thing as a PC, does it? No.

Stop saying you never said such a thing then.

No, it's a scientific approach, not always a good one but it is used.
