Come November 19th, ladies, prepare to be temporarily replaced (by a hunk of computing power) as the fellas go "weeee" over the debut of Nintendo Wii - Nintendo's (Texas Instrument) answer to the gaming revolution. Their first full fledged release since Game Cube, Wii is causing some serious buzz with it's $250 price point (significantly less than the debut prices of both PSP, PS2 and Microsoft's XBox 360) and remote controlled capabilities. Supposedly, Wii will be able to recognize and repeat actual hand/arm movements (such as swings, punches and sword fights) while holding a little remote control thingy (see the picture below).
While some aren't sure of its significance or its future successes, the effects are sure to be short lived, once they, meaning the boys, realize that Wii:
- Can't cook (haha...some of us can't either)
- Doesn't umm, provide "physical pleasure" - and to any ladies whose men claim the contrary, run! Immediately!
- Doesn't look so hot wearing nothing but Jimmy Choo's (shoes) and a smile. :)
The Sony PS3's release is also on the horizon. Sadly, this beast doesn't have to cook, neither does it require cleavage to win over the men. However, given all the recent set backs (yippee) not all of us will have to compete for the attention of our men this fall...
Note to industry game makers: how about not releasing new consoles during holidays - us women would appreciate some time with our men.

I don't think that I'll be taking part in the fiasco.
That seems to be the general opinion with respect to Wii.
Maybe, just maybe it has something to do with the name?! (That and Xbox/PSP fever have significantly raised the bar for what we expect of a video game console).
