Will The Wii and PS3 Make a Buy for GameStop? |
|
As both Sony’s PS3 and Nintendo’s Wii will be released this month (November 2006), you might be interested in purchasing shares of this relatively new company, GameStop (GME) on the basis of increasing sales and revenue from selling these systems. While such a deduction may make sense for a fruitful appetite of purchasing shares, there may be some limitations to the success you may enjoy. As GameStop will be releasing earnings in about two weeks, there is much questioning in terms of how earnings will perform with these new systems coming out in a relatively short time. While these factors will not be directly observed in this quarter’s report, there is a high chance that an increase in... |

Find Out What You're Getting For Your Money ... The Nintendo Wii Specs! |
|
Along with pretty much everything else about the Wii, including its name, Nintendo has kept the Wii specs pretty close to its collective chest. Given they're now out in the open, as well as available to software developers, this is a good time to take an in-depth look at the Nintendo Wii specs and find out exactly what you're getting for your money. In all the fuss about the innovative Nintendo Wii controller, it's been hard to appreciate the underlying excellence of the actual box itself. The CPU, known as Broadway, was developed and manufactured in association with IBM. It operates at 729 megahertz and bandwidth tops at 1.9 gigabytes per second. The graphics processing unit, developed... |

Wii Wins |
|
So, we got our grubby little hands on a Wii yesterday, and I have to admit that I'm very impressed. Of course, I'm not impressed with the raw horsepower (as Microsoft and Sony soundly thrash the Wii in that department). Instead, I'm more impressed with the overall product: it's sleek, elegant, well presented, and a joy to behold. Now, I'm not going to bore you with everything you've already read about the Wii (yes, the controller is cool, the console is really small, and there is a ton of potential to be exploited), but I will bore you with details -- details that give this console that little extra something the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 just don't have.

Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 Launch Day (& Night) Survival Guide
Author:
Nick Crane
It is easy to get carried away with the imminent release of your favorite console be it the Playstation 3 or its cousin, the Nintendo Wii. Yes, motion sensing Twilight Princess sword thrusts and Resistance: Fall of Man screen shots have left us all in a tizzy of anticipation, but freezing on the sidewalk is no way to spend an evening. For those of you who have pre-ordered your Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii, feel lucky that you’ll get to survive the rush at your Toys R’ Us or GameStop, leaving you able to stroll into your favorite retailer and waltz out. For those with the desperation and spare cash to plunk down an absurd premium to secure a Playstation 3 over at eBay, this article is certainly not for you (though I do envy you). For those in the middle, neglecting to pre-order but hearty enough to camp out now that the time is near, there are a few essentials that you need to remember before you head on down with your pup tent and thermos to the Best Buy sidewalk. Layers, Folks, Layers As you’ll find more and more as you travel through life, your mother was right. For most of the country, mid-November can pack quite a chill. Sure, the lucky folks in Miami or San Jose get a break, but the rest of us, especially at night, have the prospect of getting a nice chill. The lines, especially for the Playstation 3 with its predicted short supply at launch, will likely form early, so arrive early and bundle up well. Dress for what you think it’s going to be like at night, not what it’s like when you get there. Social Gaming At Its Finest Pick your poison, be it a Nintendo DS, a Playstation Portable, a Gameboy Advance or even some classic Game Gear goodness. Standing in line for a Wii? You better believe that there will be some Nintendo DS gaming in line. Single cart download games like Mario Kart, Clubhouse Games or Metroid: Prime Hunters will undoubtedly provide some distraction as the hours tick by, and possibly make you the most popular person literally on the block. Dig A Little Deeper Yes, your local Best Buy or Walmart will have shipments of Nintendo Wiis or Playstation 3s to cart out, but so will lesser-scavenged retailers like Sears, FYE, Costco, Sam’s Club, CompUSA and other similar outlets. While those stores will have smaller initial shipments of each console (especially the sure-to-be-scarce Playstation 3), the crowds will undoubtedly be smaller in kind. Nintendo has given its Wii a production head start and shortages for it may be less pronounced than the Playstation 3, but how can you leave being the first amongst your friends to land a next generation console to chance? Bundle up, bring entertainment, bribe your kid brother or sister to man another station if you must, don’t forget to bring the plastic and you’ll have a better, more successful trip to the glamorous retail outlet sidewalk camp-out. Oh, and bring a pillow.

PlayStation 3 vs Nintendo Wii |
|
There will always, regardless of our time in space in the span of human history, be an open competition between those who believe in the old school and those who side with the new school. In other words, those that believe that there needs to be some traditional guidelines for how to be a success and those who believe you have to change all of the rules. While Nintendo has certainly been at the forefront of the gaming industry since its inception, few would argue that they have, “kept up with the Joneses” so to speak. Nintendo is trying to change this fact with the introduction of their latest competitor in the video game industry, Nintendo Wii. However, those who are “new school” in the video gaming world will tell you that Sony has far surpassed Nintendo in the gaming industry to a point that the talk of a “competition” is almost comical. Regardless of where you stand on this argument it is always a good idea to know what everybody has to offer and in that spirit here is a small comparison of PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii. PlayStation 3 has introduced perhaps the most powerful processor in the history of gaming with their Cell Broadband Engine that will allow for awesome game play to jump start this edition of the PlayStation Empire. Nintendo Wii has a very good “PowerPC” that they have nicknamed “Broadway” that will allow for a good gaming experience. Nintendo stepped out and solicited the help of IBM for the production of the Wii processor, meaning that they are seriously looking to re-enter the video game wars. One feature of both the Nintendo Wii and the PlayStation 3 that will both impress and excite gamers is the fact that both are backwards compatible, meaning that you don’t have to throw away your favorite games from the previous console. ... |
