[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Hoggs Bison Good social integration there. Looks like they're executing on their vision well. What they really need is third-party support, though. [/quote] It looks cool but I have a feeling that it won't be used the way it's intended to be.

[/quote] According to that graph, the PS3 and 360 have outsold the Wii every month since Quarter 1 of last year. That's over a year that they've outsold it. "The 360 and PS3 however have proven that they do since they consistently outsell the Wii month after month and have been for a long time." That was Vgnut's quote. He said months, not years. The Wii has been playing catch up for the past 12-15 months. And even though the graph doesn't give the sales of this year, the 360 and PS3 have easily been outselling it this year.

The Pro controller looks like a cheap knock off of an Xbox controller. That said, at least it should be better for playing core games than the Wiimote.
-
Hey I missed it. Did they say when it will be released?

Going to be MLG pro with that new controller.

Hopefully it won't cost too much money. That I would still like to be able to use the pro controller with every game.

[/quote] THANK YOU FOR HAVING AN ACTUAL -blam!- CONTROLLER NINTENDO WOOOOOOOO[/quote]It's an Xbox 360 controller with the right stick and A/B/X/Y buttons in opposite places. They're basically just making this as contingency in case, like the Wiimote before it, the WiiUpad ends up being lame and poorly implemented in EVERYTHING. Why they couldn't bring back my beloved GC controller, I do not know.
