How could people so clueless about the industry actually work in the industry...in high positions to boot?!

I heard there's a hot new Norman Smiley gif out there...anyone have it?

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.

Yeah, but unlike in that case, Nintendo will bite MS back from the inside, then 'splode out..

Anyway, funny Microsoft should say this, apart from totally missing the memo about Wii appealing to people of all ages, especially families, but the fact that many 360 games appeal to one demographic (teenagers with a penchant for killing things) makes this all the more deliciously ironic.

Hint to Microsoft PR, shut up.

From IGN

March 28, 2007 - Oh, sweet mud-slinging, how we love you. It would be impossible to count how many times company reps poked fun at GameCube, just as it would be a difficult undertaking to calculate how many times former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi spoke ill of his hardware competitors. Nowadays, though, publishers rarely speak badly of Nintendo or Wii as both are overwhelming success stories.

But Microsoft's group product manager for Xbox and the Live platform, John Rodman, recently took a stab at it. According to a report by Daily Tech, Rodman insinuated that gamers would outgrow Nintendo's new console just as soon as their voices started to change.

"We don't feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing," Rodman reportedly said. "We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14, they want something else."

Whoops. We must've missed that memo. And so did our parents.

Your parents are about as cool as 12-year-olds anyway.
