Renegadeandy just bought a Wii, haven't played on it yet. I saw one in action in a shop today actually, the only time I've ever seen store staff actually supervise people trying consoles out. They were playing Bowls on Wii Sports, looked pretty cool.
Anyways... Sony: Betamax. Walkman. Minidisc. SonicStage. DRM rootkits. Notice a pattern? They all failed. Simply because Sony were too greedy to licence the technology to anyone else which, in turn, led to rising supply and support for rival formats like VHS etc. SonicStage was just awful software, and rootkits are spyware.
The same could well happen with BluRay, if Sony aren't careful. It could be a big waste of time and money. And I'm not hearing people everywhere raving about the PS3, it's not gone off with much of a bang IMHO.
