  • Nice improvement in sound by switching from Gizmo Project to Skype plus recording software (except it catches the sound when I.A. turns his mike off. Sorry about the pops).
  • License to Drive Contest. Only one person will win. Will it be you?
  • Is “google-able” a word?

Wii being endorsed by Microsoft AND Sony.

Posted on by

I’ve been following some of the E3 coverage on cnet.com and other sites. I’ve read that Microsoft has endorsed the Nintendo Wii. Microsoft says instead of getting a PS3 for around $500 or $600 get an XBOX 360 and a Nintendo Wii for the same price. Sony doesn’t have the same argument, but they think people will buy two systems – their PS3 and the Nintendo Wii.

So we’ve got 3 companies pushing Nintendo: Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, themselves. Everybody says to get one. This is pretty interesting. I wonder if people who weren’t considering Wii are now thinking about getting one.
