Your kid has a TV in her room You are a much cooler dad than I am. If we let our son have a TV in his room w/ Netflix, he would never leave...(rethinking no tv in room stance).

I learned not to buy VC games before we got the Wii due to their DRM restrictions. It is such a shame too as that was one of the things I was most looking forward to when the Wii was first announced.

They rarely use their TVs in their rooms. 10 year-old has a 19" LCD with 7-disc DVD changer, Wii, and VCR. 6 year-old has a 13" Cinderella TV and DVD player. For some reason, they prefer my set-up in the living room. Go figure

My 6 and 4 year old like to sit on the couch in our basement and watch netflix on our 17" computer screen while I play games on our HDTV. I am pretty sure my kids will ride the short bus.

Wait, I understood this whole post but the VCR thing, what in the hell is a vcr?

It made her feel cooler to have another device. It wasn't doing anything else. Are we still on topic here?

I'm sure her friends just poke it with sticks when they come over.

Back on topic

My wii collected dust so no more nintendo systems for me. As for ps4 and such, the fact of whether all 68 of my psn games transfer over will be one of the big determining factors in whether I buy the new console or not.

I'd like to say that I can't imagine ANY of the consoles NOT allowing transfer of DLC, movies, games, etc. onto a a new console.

However, Playstation 3 had arguably the best reason to include backwards compatibility (the huge PS2 library) and they didn't (well, not really).

So who knows?

They did for a while. Normally I think backwards compatibility is overrated, but I feel like it matters more to me when it comes to digital purchases (as I won't be able to sell them off like I did most of my gamecube games and PS2 stuff).

Yeah, but...EHHHHHH. I want REAL franchises.

I cannot wait for this announcement.

E3 is looking to be pretty good w/ this and the next Sony handheld.

where'd you pull those from?

Just wait until you see what else Project Cafe has in store. The streaming controllers aren't even close to being the coolest feature.

Then please, feel free to share.

See the placement of those analog sticks! Suck it Sony.

LosingMyMind are you a dev?

Fandango where did you snag that picture from?

Those controllers look much better than the ones I was imagining.

Looks like it may have originated from 4chan.

I agree 100% If those are the controllers, I would be stoked. However, I don't see Nintendo abandoning the simplicity of the wiimote. I would be happy to be wrong though.

quit teasing us you jerk!

i will repeat my concern about having a screen like that on a controller. i'm afraid that a drop will cause it to shatter.

So if any of this is to be believed is Nintendo going to go against all they learned with the Wii & DS about being profitable on day 1? Or will we get some ridiculous priced Nintendo console for the first time? $250 has been their ceiling since the NES, right?

We have no idea what it'll actually be and it's still 1.5 years off. Both the 360 and PS3 are profitable now, right? If this is better than those, and we don't know by how much, the tech may still be easily affordable.

This is my point. We all know the consoles don't make money but Nintendo did it right and actually did make money with the Wii. Now they are going the bloated console route and I don't believe they have the games to be profitable --- unless 3rd party developers come to the pump like they have for Microsoft and Sony.

I shudder to think of what kind of weird rubber controller condom they'll whip out up for these new controllers.
