Sorry to be a grouch, but really this seems no different from any other walk of life - business, law, art, architecture and so on.

This may be part of the problem that publishers have with the Wii expanded audience - they don't know who the influence multipliers are or how to reach out to them.

@houser: (responding to your 'market saturation' post now)

@houser: Sorry, I've lost track a bit of which comment is replying to which here - they keep changing order.

@GreatMario:

@EolirinX: @Rebochan:

Much as I love Nintendo, and leap to their defence at every available opportunity (probably irritating a bunch of other Kotakuites at the same time), this seems a pretty poor explanation by Reggie.

I am left wondering just what this says about Microsoft's expectations of the ground-breaking, industry-changing, utterly revolutionary, massively-hyped, Natal.

@play_eminence: (I type slow, we crossed in the post)

@play_eminence: Your wish is my command (well, the one about promoting that comment, I can't do a thing about stars).

@CockroachMan:

@RicoTheSaboteur:

Interesting to compare this Americas only thing with the recent thread on 'where is your home town' which had responses from all over the known world.

You know when a doctor is taking your pulse, they always seem to stare into space above your head?

Whenever I am stuck on something that needs speed, skill or fast reactions I ask my son for help - job done.

That was a pleasure as always, Tim - and as always I feel utterly at a loss for how to respond to it. It is not like there is nothing to respond to, but that any sort of nitpicky post here isn't going to be the right sort of response.

@SuperPants: Brummie must surely be the worst - at least there are some relatively pleasant variations on Scouse. And I must admit I only know of the SLB because my daughter is a the university there.

@SuperPants: Surely the second-worst accent ... and you missed out the Superlambanana.

@Kevin Dillaerts: birthplace of Stella Artois deserves a promotion

@deanbmmv: Wrong transporter bridge. I though for a moment we might be neighbours.
