I wouldn't see it as a threat. A tennis racket can only play tennis while the Wiimote can play whatever the designers come up with for it.

Well, but if you read the text, it mentions that there is also a baseball and fishing game, and the game relies on sensors built into whatever is being used. I could reckon that they also have one custom remote built for each of the games.

But yes, this is a rather inflexible system, unlike the Wii, whose remote can be adapted for virtually any game, be it something that requires realistic user interaction, or using the more traditional approach. And it reeks of something that won't survive for very long too...
 
I did read the text. But that's still an extra controller for each while you only need one for all of Wii Sports and all of everything else on the Wii. =/
 
^_^;; I don't get it?.... what is the topic trying to say?

I know Xavix has been around for a while, but I don't see how its a threat to the Wii any more than Gizmondo is to the DS.. Xavix just doesn't have the support to be a major game contender and is usually viewed even more as a children's toy.

As for Singapore... I guess it can do well there ^^;; I don't know much about those markets, but I don't see how it would do worse than the DS there. I think Xavix would probably get the success they want though... (It may sell better over there due to it being cheaper)

I just want to know what this is about because it seems interesting.
 
When I read "Wii Love News" and then "In other news, Wii shall not be fooled by people passing off the Wii-mote as something else...", I totally thought that it was gonna be a story about a couple using the Wii to--...nvm.

:lol: What were you thinking?

But yes, it's quite hilarious someone tried to pass off the Wii-mote as something else in this fashion. To think it was from a major broadcasting company in Singapore, and one that has shown Pokémon since 1998/9...

Well, I posted about this with the Wii-mote thingy as I thought it might be of interest to this forum. On first impression, Xavix really looked like some kind of Wii rip-off to me, and I was wondering what you guys could think.

And maybe Xavix can do well here, but if past experience shows, unless it turns into a "OMG 1,000,000 people is doing it I should do it too" thing, it won't take off. Pushing too hard in advertising here can quite well kill something, but if it remains obscure, it may either survive for a very long time with no one knowing about it, or may quietly disappear without anyone ever noticing.

The Nintendo DS is actually doing quite well down here (along, maybe freakishly, with the PSP); I have seen a number of people playing with it, and one of my colleagues also have one. As for the Wii, that I'm not too sure.
 
Alright, well..I seriously thought it was going to be about some crazy couple using the Wii-Mote as a Dildo..XD
