» It's all about perspective
Had it been genuinely funny, I wouldn't have cared if he was insensitive. Since that line was kinda funny, something a 4chan nerd/lurker would say, I'm indifferent. Reggie has openly stated that he's a Nintendo nerd in various interviews.
If that doesn't convince you then, look at it this way. Penn Jillette, of Penn + Teller, has a father whose friend has a really great sense of humor. One day, the two of them met up with another friend who is an officer and since they didn't have anything better to do, they have a chat with him all while walking around town. Eventually though, The cop comes across someone that had violated traffic. Now as he is writing the ticket, said father's friend has this really sly grin on his face and Penn's father is just laughing and shaking his head even before a single word escapes his friend's mouth. He whispers in his father's ear, "I just got a great idea for a prank! Wouldn't it be funny if I snuck up on him, took his gun and played around with it?" Penn's father doesn't say a thing. Instead, he silently nods and tries to stifles his laughter at what's about to happen. So his friend proceeds with his stupid plan, and I mean dangerously stupid. He places care into every single one of his steps, sneaking up on this unsuspecting officer buddy of theirs, slowly reaches for the gun inch by inch, and creeping oh so close to his hilarious destination. That's when the cop turns around and fires a round into his friend's stomach +D. But get this, we haven't gotten to the great part yet. He's in the hospital, in intensive care and under a coma for a little over a month and everybody was visiting him that day: Penn Jillette, his father, and the officer. You might not believe what happens next. He wakes up out of his coma laughing! Hahahaha! Every single person in that room was cracking up to the point of stitches for about an hour. After things settled down he points enthusiastically to the cop, "Oh! You got me! You got me good!" And from that moment on, that's the kind of person Penn Jillette wants to be when he grows up. Someone that can shrug off something as seemingly big and serious as a gunshot wound to the stomach and turn that around into something you can fondly remember later on. This incident has not only influenced himself but his career as seen in Penn + Teller dark comedic approach to magic acts.
And if you don't believe me, he told this story on a radio show which you can also hear on podcast for free through iTunes or http://www.pennradio.com (I forget which one though but I think it's within the past month or so)

last time i checked the wii has sold TWICE as many consoles than the ps3 has. ps3 will be lucky if it even has developers left for it in 1-2 years.

That would make sense if the PS3 actually had sales. If anything, the PS3 is already dead.

» Your mistaken...
I think you will find that although the Wii does not have the graphical power of the PS3 or the 360, it has (roughly) twice the power of the orginal Xbox, which, In my opinion, should suit everyone

» Paperweight
The PS3 is an oversized paperweight/vacuum cleaner. It forsakes ingenuity for, I admit, overwhelming power where people can see their characters sweat. What's next with PS4? Will we be able to smell our characters sweat? The gaming world needs more ingenuity like the Wii. Just because at the moment games aren't using the Wii's potential doesn't mean anything. Hell, even PS3 developers have yet to tap its immense power. At the moment I'd rather buy a Wii or a PS2 because games there are FUN. They actually make you move (for PS2 I'm refering to DDR and Guitar Hero and for Wii, basically Wii Sports). Still, give it a few years and watch the Wii thrive, can't say the same for the oversized paperweight, uh I mean PS3.

» Good job noob.
I'm willing to bet that all of the people who posted right after each other saying "Wiimote is a ripoff!" are all one person.
You're probably just angry that your console is weaker than an Xbox 360 yet cost $200 more and is in last place. PS3 games are all outclasses by God of War II which looks much better than your crappy PS3 games including MGS4. Also all of PS3's games look like poo in-game. Yay.

So it's okay for Reggie to make fun of the competition
But when M$ or Sony makes fun of anyone, they look like f*ckin idiots.
Nice double standards you have there, oh followers of the church of Nintendo.
