The Cricket Duo becomes a Newscast Foursome once again.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newscast/23897
A return to normalcy was the order this week, as Andy and Neal return to keep Zach and Nathan from reading from the pages of Wikipedia.
No one is reviewing much of anything this week, so instead the Whatcha Reviewin' Segment is scrapped for some listener feedback, as well as the usual news and releases segment.
Finally, Andy regales us with tales of his broken Wii system to close out the show.

Unless you hve been living under a rock for the last five years you should know that one reason why the wii was so successful was that pointed out to the consumer that why should they pay nearly a $1000 in total for two HD consoles
HD consoles and their games and accessories that are just better looking versions of last generation consoles.
"GBA= Wii motion controls
DS= Wii 2 motion controls
PSP= Move and kinect motion controls
Think about it, Greybrick."
"a generous figure on my part, but none the less improbable"
"I will camp out three months early at Wal-mart to get this machine."
really did not pay off in the long run
GBA had stood alone against the PSP, it would have been squashed like a mosquitoThese two quotes directly oppose each other.
@kytim
I understand your analogy, I just think that it doesn't apply very well.
The GBA was doing well enough, and Nintendo released the DS around the same time as the PSP. Where the analogy goes sour for me is that the PSP wasn't aping the GBA, it was trying to be something much more.Quotereally did not pay off in the long runQuoteGBA had stood alone against the PSP, it would have been squashed like a mosquitoThese two quotes directly oppose each other.
if the DS had never emerged and the GBA was alone to compete against the PSP, (...) the PSP would have dominated the market
The GBA represents the wii and the motion controls
move and kinect will not put up much of a threat to the wii?
You do see how your whole analogy contradicts itself, right?
And that me giving up and running in circles was a reference to cyclical logic

move and kinect will not put up much of a threat to the wii
having trouble explaining it clearly
the bottom line is that move and kinect will not put up much of a threat to the wii or the wii 2
move and kinect will not be a threat to the wii 2
I was lost when the Game Boy Advance was supposed to be comparable to the Wii. I don't get how there is any stretch of logic where a conservative follow-up to (at the time) the most successful handheld device ever is at all similar to the gamble that was the launch of the Wii.
I got a little over my head with this argument but I knwo what I want to say but I am having trouble explaining it clearly.
Neal mentioned that his wii malfunctioned and this reminded me that my wii is strangely warmer than usual after playing games. It might be nothing, but it gor really hot on top.

Do you mind me asking how you noticed this?
No, I want to know how you noticed that your Wii feels slightly warmer after using it. Do you routinely feel it after use?
Andy and I said our Wiis have been acting strangely.
This is the first time a Newscast thread has hit two pages (I think). What's sad is that a genuine discussion is not being had. Rather, we're somehow debating whether or not the Game Boy Advance, a ten year old handheld, had the same kind of market penetration that the Wii did and continues to have.
Here's the answer: It did not, and my word is law.
Now, let's discuss other things. Like daffodils and lemon drops.

Andy and I said our Wiis have been acting strangely.Hmm, could the early Wiis be starting to fail? Mine has always had some problems, but it's worse now -- it freezes up, especially at the Health screen.
