Verifying a source is not crucifying someone. If you think it is, you need to take an English lit. class. Bottom line: The original post is erroneous, and is given some credibility by still showing up in a news search. “God Forbid someone makes a mistake

The system is hardly more powerful like, very little difference, than an original Xbox that came out 5 years ago. Maybe if a complete controller wasn't $60 it would not be so bad.

"And you know what? I'll be at a store in the New York area, where they will camp out and I will be handing out some Wiis that very first minute that we're available for purchase." The actual interview itself, from the original source, ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=2450571 Sorry, no free Wiis. Nice thought though. Nintendo's nice, just not that nice.
