not really a copy just the next thing for controllers both companies have been working forever on these things not like sony can say oooo do that when nintendo unviels their crap ...
a good move by sony is keeping the controller the same ..i hate getting used to different controllers
how long till these things break though both the sony and nintendo one have to be somewhat delicate

I remember watching a video where some guys took a hammer to all three systems(Xbox, PS2, GC) while the systems were being played. The X-Box went down after 1 hit, the PS2, about 2 or 3. ANd the Game Cube was almost in peices before it stoped working. This of course also had to do with the smaller disk radius(harder for disks to skip) but also the durability of the system. I remember dropping my Super Nintendo down a flight of stairs and it still worked.
Really we'll have to see what it will be like, but i personally can't wait for teh Wii, if it performs even half as good as they are boasting then it will be an amazing step forward in consol gaming.
But if I had to choose, i'd take Nintendo's track record over microsoft and sony's any day of the week. Honestly, I have no intention at this point of buying a 360, and unless they re-release FF VII for the PS-3, I doubt i'll be getting that either. Both are just going to be way to expensive for the first long time after release. Where as the Wii is going to come out cheap (well cheaper) right off the bat.
I don't know, Nintendo has a pretty good reputation for durability. Teh NES had a few problems, and the N64 controller had some problems, other then that everything they made lasts pretty much forever.

Well you have to take into consideration that a board that reads a catridge has a lot less sensitive parts than the lens in a CD or DVD player. Besides Nintendo has always done their equipment with kids in mind, that's mainly why most of their games have kid themes. Xbox and PS are geared toward technology and most of the games have teen or mature ratings.
