Oh, sweet mud-slinging, how we love you. It would be impossible to count how many times company reps poked fun at GameCube, just as it would be a difficult undertaking to calculate how many times former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi spoke ill of his hardware competitors. Nowadays, though, publishers rarely speak badly of Nintendo or Wii as both are overwhelming success stories.

But Microsoft's group product manager for Xbox and the Live platform, John Rodman, recently took a stab at it. According to a report by Daily Tech, Rodman insinuated that gamers would outgrow Nintendo's new console just as soon as their voices started to change.

"We don't feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing," Rodman reportedly said. "We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14, they want something else."

Whoops. We must've missed that memo. And so did our parents.

People never cease to stereotype.

I liked the Wii, but I guess I'll get a 360 since I'm 15...

I'll probably end up getting both anyway, but that's one of the dumbest things I've heard from Microsoft this war.

Hey! I'm 14... but I have to say that I am tempted to buy a XBox 360... BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE PS3 HAS DISAPPOINTED ME A LOT SO FAR! Plus, I'll be able to play Assassin's Creed and DMC 4 on it so it's all good! And hell, throw in Halo 3 just because and it'll be yayerskaterific! Oh right, and EA's SKATE of course... that stuff looks hawt!

heh, wow, I was rooting for an MS/Nintendo truce, but that blows all that out of the water... bah.

I'm 16, and want a Wii more than 360 and a PS3. I must be 13 at heart. :]

As of now i wouldn't realy want to play anything on the wii (besides zelda)

but on the 360 Mass Effect is on the way!

ViktorVaughn · 03-30-2007, 06:58 AM

Well honstly i kinda feel the wii is a bit childish in my opinion...

But i can't go speaking for everyone else and say something like " everyone's gonna outgrow the wii when their voices change.." Everyone doesn't think the wii is childish..

The Wii was cool, but it loses it's fun instantly.

The 360 and PS3 and more "grown up" consoles.

Like the PSP is to the DS.

I got to admit that one is pretty funny-

Hehehehe,silly Microsoft.

If the Wii is for kids,what kind of clients do you have?Because you'll get most profits from "kids" since adults are way more oriented to the PS3.
Altough,i'd like a X360 for Fable 2.
