  • jboutelle Jonathan Boutelle, Director of Technology at SlideShare I am a proud owner of a wii (just bought it off a guy on craigslist for 50$ over list, but never mind). I haven't played video games in over a decade. Now I'm addicted to wii tennis, and looking forwards to the Lego Star Wars game (which doesn't get released until November, sadly). I think that qualifies as growing the market.

    I had NO interest in an XBox or PS3, primarily due to the controller. There's too much old video game culture in those controllers: if you don't play a lot, it's hard to learn the different patterns that are similar from game to game, and every game is a huge challenge.     5 years ago
