What's the Mac mini doing there?

Wow. I knew the Wii was small, but WOW. That is small. That can fit like anywhere!! Even more reason to buy one now :D

I think the Mini is there to throw people off, to balance things out. Or perhaps it's a subliminal message of sorts...

I guess that's why they call it Wii?

You feel bad for Wii? Small seems like a good thing to me. Then again, I'm a sucker for cool running, efficient, quiet technology.

One of the excuses for the Japanese not buying the Xbox was it's size a nd the small size of their apartments. The PS3 is larger than the original Xbox. Let's see if we hear any complaints.

I don't care about size as long as it fits under my TV. They all seem to fit.
By the way, the PS3s PSU is internal and not a huge external one like on 360.

Small apartment = small console, I never thought of that. Size is everything, isn't it?

Wow, it only took two comments before "Wii is the gr8est thing since sliced bread!!" was posted. Imagine that!

I wonder if Nintendo actually pays these people a decent wage to browse for any console link and then spam it with pro-Nintendo propaganda.

Not very informative.

booo urns

The Mac Mini is probably in there to add more comparison, since a lot of people probably know how small it is...looks like the Wii is comparable to that.

Mudhoney, he was more than likely being sarcastic about feeling bad. Notice he said the PS3 wins for being so big...ya, it's a joke.

dcbronco, the size complaint the Japanese had was in regards to the controller, not the console itself.

Fivos, thank god someone brought that up. Yes, the 360 PSU is friggen huge, I was really suprised about that when I finally saw one in person at a store. Oh, and don't forget, PS3 has a next gen drive built in (Blu-Ray), the best 360 can offer is an external HD-DVD drive, about half the size of the 360 itself.

Heh... and only 8 comments before "lol stupid fanboyz" was posted.

Why does peoples' legitimate enthusiasm for the Wii instantly translate to fanboy-ism?

I didn't know it was *that* small either. That's awesome and I'm going to say so.

I don't even understand why you bothered posting...

Because Nintendo is for kids, you pokemon playing fool. PS3 rocks my socks because I can kill Hookahs and shoot things. W00t!

The ps3 is 8726 centimeters cubed, while the 360 is 6616 centimenters cubed...isnt that more then mere micrometers???

wow, that was childish Rob, maybe a Wii is right for you because Nintendo is "childish"

Bottom line is when it comes to consoles smaller is better. The small revision of the PS2 is awesome. Looks good with all my other components, it's easy to move around and doesn't take up any space.

Why on earth would Sony make the PS3 bigger than the orginal XBOX? Thats why I eneded up getting a PS2 .. because the XBOX was simply too enormous (the games I play run on both systems) ...

now nobody can complain that they have no way to fill that 3.5x14 inch void...

Is it as big as a gaming PC? Why do you guys want an insanely small console...you want the hardware, you need the room.

Sorry Morkon, I forgot to turn the sarcasm machine on for you.

I don't know about you, but when I'm going to have sex with my highly-expensive piece of technology I like to have alotta ass - and man, that PS3's got booty to burn. Sorry Wii, but I like my tech with a rack. Back to the short bus with you.

Roughly an inch bigger in two of the three dimensions is "mere micrometres?" huh.

it kinda suprises me that people seem to care mostly about the size. Im as suprised at the size of the Wii as anyone, but thats not why Im going to buy it, Im going to buy it because Im a fan of Mario and Zelda, plain and simple.

PS3 was cool until they announced the price. I got better things to do with money then spend it on a fucken $600 game machine. Like pay for University and take my girl out for nice dinners.

Plus who can say no to the Wii's remote. Fuck that thing is sweet.

The Xbox can't stand vertically, is ugly and lacks games that appeal to the Japanese market. Those are the reasons why it bombed in Japan. The PS3 won't likely have any of those shortcomings. (That isn't to say that it will not fail.)

the mini is there ause of intel... you'll run windows thus, it's a "smart" buy...
