Now the PS3 thread has become less obnoxious, perhaps this thread should change title too?

We won, they lost - it's as simple as. They had to change theirs cause of that irony element* which made me laugh everytime I saw that thread title.

God, I am a fanboy, perhaps I could be Digital Deckard

*like goldie but much more intellectual

Oh, us Nintendo fans are still smug, don't you worry about that.

Mind you, bad news on the Mario Party 8 recall in the UK...

Slightly off-topic but did Nintendo make any announcement regarding WiiWare at their conferences? More specifically will it be open to everyone to play with in the way XNA is?

Not sure if they mentioned it at E3, but I'm sure I remember reading this as correct from one of the launch presentations.

So what exactly did you win?

Seems to me having watched the E3 trailers and footage that the winner in this latest round of consoles is the consumer with all 3 systems and a high end PC.

The winner is the company that spent less and earnt more.
The second place winners are the fans of that company that can look forward too a decent life for their console.
