Seriously, get out of this rock you've lived under for so many years, and just check the line up for this year, or the past one.
Platforming absent from the Wii? Are you insane? That's where the genre is the best represented. I can give you adventure, and the Wii didn't have really good exclusive shooters outside of Japan for now. The RPG always were there, and several were out even this year with indifference from people like you who just ignore them. And you expect to be taken seriously when these RPG do pitiful sales because people actually are not interested in them?
There are two apparently good RPG in Japan now (Xenoblade is out, the Last Story is not yet) that will surely come to the west.
I will buy them for sure, but I'm sure your lot will ignore them and then come out next year saying the same nonsense about not having any nice RPG, Shooters and Platforming on Wii.

There are tons of them this year alone. But you won't look for them, you don't buy them, and yet you expect them to shine.
Monster Hunter 3 came out this year with a redesigned classic controller. You didn't even buy that since the last game you bought was Brawl, so years ago. So you lived under a rock since that Brawl launch, or you're just making silly excuses just to draw the illusion that you're rightfully bashing the Wii.

Of course this isn't really a big problem for the PSPGo.
One big glaring problem though, often overlooked, is that you need a PS3 to get your games.
Which is pretty stupid.

The only reason Sony could bring all those things is because they are a big international company with tons of cash flow and manufactures.
That's also why analysts always assumed Sony and MS would be the victors this gen instead of Nintendo, which still is a very small company compared to these behemoths.
It's easy to forget because Nintendo made profits like never seen before in this console generation, while the two others lost billions of dollars of money.
I think also that's why what Sony has done is nothing special (except if you think being a big corporation is special in itself) and can easily be brushed.
At the time, Nintendo was knee deep in lawsuits, especially from Atari, so it couldn't expand in Europe.

Actually, in Japan, they still haven't sold the first shipment of PSPGo.
I'm not sure about USA, but that's surely the case too, given the really poor sales in NPD.
And in Europe, like in USA, PSP is dead since a very long time.
The problem is not the hardware, they've sold 60 millions of them. The problem is that the primary source of revenue is the software sales, and PSP software sales are dead since a very long time, despite countless hits released on PSP, which all flop.

This "everyone sells its console at a loss" is a myth.

This was never a tradition, so the Wii didn't break any tradition. Nintendo is the older console manufacturer still alive, so is the traditional one, and they never sold their console at a loss, except the very first months of Gamecube because they quickly dropped the price before launch.

Sony is the big one that introduced this business tactic that was then followed by several companies or gaming division of companies which all met their demise. This includes Sega, MS and Sony.
You'll rightly tell me MS and Sony gaming divisions are not dead, but the only reason why is because they are big enough and had enough profit in other divisions to stand the billions of dollars they lost by using this tactic.
This tactic only works when you're the one with the biggest market: the one with the more consoles and who sells the most games. When you don't, you fail harder to the point of not being able to sustain it even one generation.
The net result of XBox is a loss of 6+ billions of dollars, as for the PS3, they lost as much as they profited with the PS1 and PS2 combined! Two generations of profits (due to being market leader) erased with only one generation of loss (due to not being leader).

I don't match any of your scenario.
I never had a PS2, and I bought a PS3 specifically for its PS2 compatibility. Actually, I bought a PS3 when they announced they were clearing stock of PS2 compatible PS3. Guess what, I still were able to buy old PS2 games new, and several PS2 games I bought went gold after I bought my PS3, like Persona 4.
And I play all my PS2 games on PS3. Even worse for you, I even play PS1 games on it!!!
Some people are more gamers than graphics whores, which is why FFVII PSN sold very well for example.

You're insane indeed. So the solution to piracy is to never sell anything that could be pirated? It's so stupid it's not even funny, if you wanted to be funny.

Except Nintendo isn't trying to lock users out of their systems, they're trying to lock pirates out. Nintendo is not stupid enough to let pirates have an easy way. People that choose that way have accepted to do it the hard way anyway.
People that like homebrew won't be really impaired, and the true pirates won't be impaired either. The ones that will be hit hard are the casual pirates, people for whom someone knowledgeable installed the necessary software.
These are the true customers that can be put back on the right path to buy the content they actually want. Pirates and homebrew users are not real customers to Nintendo if they don't buy any games.

And you're pretty wrong. The fact that he was posting in the Wiikly notwithstanding.
You sound like all these MS and Sony viral marketers that he talks about.
The fact is that he predicted nearly perfectly most of what happened in this generation of consoles, so it's no wonder people love Malstrom, but viral marketers hate him with a passion.

So you don't know his blog but you are quick to dismiss it and call people who read it "brainwashed" ? It won't work. Malstrom is really making life like hell to viral marketers.
It's funny to watch them recoil in terror at everything he writes.

Well, based on what I can see, you have not played any Wii game, and you are a typical troll.

Which is confirmed here : you haven't played any Wii game. Even Wii Sports, that comes with the console outside of Japan, destroys your argument.

This must be your 2 only correct sentences.

Sadly, it was true : only 2 sentences right...

We have seen plans for a next generation console. Kinect is marketed by MS as their next generation console, like a new launch that would give 4-5 years more life to XB360.
Even if that's only marketing, no console maker has any reason to launch a next generation console:
* We're in a recession, it wouldn't be a wise thing to do, especially given the state of the industry,
* That requires funds, and 2 of the 3 are in a "profitability" mode, Sony and MS console divisions lost countless billions this generation, they just can't afford to go on like this,
* MS lost more than $8.5 B (!!) on its XBox line across the years, and is only now slowly recovering some of this money back. The ROI of XBox is disastrous, and it would be worse if they were to make a new one soon;
* Sony Playstation division lost all the profits they made during the PS1 and PS2 era, with the PS3 only. Like MS, making a new console would put them back hundreds of millions in the red;
* The gaming industry is collectively in the red. If you remove Nintendo, they're all in the red this generation. Even if you add Nintendo actually
* Nintendo is the only one making insane (never seen before) profits in the gaming industry. Activision is the sole other making decent, thanks in part to WoW and CoD games. But Nintendo has no incentive to make another home console, when 3rd parties still have not embraced the Wii correctly, and while Wii is still selling like no other home console before it. For years, the gaming industry acted like they wanted the small Kyoto firm to die, and look at the small Kyoto firm just making the reverse happen, including knocking over two big companies in its way. It's just amazing to watch.

This experiment is interesting because it just lowers any chance of success for MS strategy that was based on "no more physical media".
Every successful download only game is getting a physical media release on console. Isn't it strange if the future is no physical media?

The leak says the focus is "casual gamers", which in itself shows they don't understand the market they're targeting. So far, only Nintendo managed to make killer apps for the audience targeted by Natal, and every single time the entire industry laughed at Nintendo for these "poor games" before these games just exploded in sales. So an educated guess would be that MS has no killer app for this thing. We can't be sure of it, but it's likely.
The last foray of MS into this trying to sell games to "casual gamers" was in holidays 2008 IIRC, and it was such a huge failure everybody in the game industry just do as if it never happened.

The big problem is right there. It's overpriced means the price is too high compared to its value. In the entertainment industry, people don't care that the technology is higher grade, as what people give value to, is not technology (as in technology industry), but entertainment, the industry consoles are in. The consumer for entertainment doesn't care about technology, as long as it's good enough.
For this not to be seen as overpriced, the thing need to come with at least 2 perceived killer app games. Technologists and early adopters will flock to it, but the mainstream sales they seem to want for Natal won't come from these people.
A killer app like Wii Fit isn't even at 50 % of Wii sold, and it's already selling at amazing levels. That's the apps Natal needs to succeed, not just say "it has this and that and can do that".

It helps to understand what you're talking about though.
MythTV doesn't support any specific card or stick, the Linux kernel does, and the OS brings in some generic interfaces upon that.
MythTV then uses that.
It helps to read the MythTV documentation when you don't know anything about these, before trying to install such a complex application.
At least it would prevent you from saying stupid things, and direct you to LinuxTV site which lists hardware supported in Linux. I would be surprised your USB stick is not supported for example.

This just proves that using a product for a long time doesn't mean you understand the product or are proficient with it. You clearly have no clue.
These are the same problems I read about when I started installing MythTV, and it was a breeze to install for me, and nothing was a feat about MythTV.
But then again, I'm no ordinary user.

Going on with the nonsense. Like most people that don't know what they are doing but are quick to criticize what they don't understand, you believe configuring all the parts necessary for MythTV to be of any use (disks, TV card, remote, ...) are MythTV itself, which is clearly apparent here.

I agree that MythTV setup (the true one) is far from being user friendly yet, which is a cause of MythTV being a generic product that can be put on most Linux configurations, and offer lots of architectures possibilities.
For now, using external frontends like XBMC is a sure way to lose 3/4 of MythTV features though. But if some user finds it more user friendly, why not.
Not sure it will work with 0.23 though. And sure enough, using XBMC already makes you lose most of 0.22 features.
