True enough, Xbox's mascot was clearly Master Chief but it took a long time after the 360 was released before they made him a place there. Even though they've only released 3 Halo games, only one of which for their new console, they've still well and truely over advertised all the other parts and equipment. Especially in America I hear, they used him to advertise products that had nothing at all to do with the Xbox. :x

Everyone has mascots, but it's nice to get some unique games. My sims looked like it could've been a great game, until I heard it has no internet access... it's a frikkin one character storyline single player. Even old sims fans would have a hard time enjoying it. To have an online sims game, with the funny wii graphics would have been a great seller but as usual they didn't utilise that area of the system.

I'm getting the feeling that what some people are saying about the power of the Wii is true. Only their simplest games are capable of going online cause the Wii might not be powerful enough to be a server for the bigger games like My Sims and can only support simple brain training games. Even the party games seem unsupported, since they seem to have little communication support and the idea is just to play them with a group on one console.
