PoV: Redesigned Wii is as pointless as the cheap PSP

Two new redesigned hardwares from Nintendo and Sony targeted for the holidays, but with less features.

Last week, both company's  surprised the gaming public by announcing two new iteration of their respective hardwares for the European market. On the Nintendo side, they've announced a brand new "redesigned" Wii SKU, that will come packaged with a Wii Motion Plus controller and Nunchuck, as well as two games, Wii Sports and Wii Party, set for release this October. So what have been redesigned you might asked? Well, according to the Official Nintendo Magazine, aside from ditching support for both GameCube games and hardware, the new Wii "is the same size as the current model." Meaning, nothings changed. In fact, it's even the same size as the old model.

Same goes to Sony's upcoming value-priced PSP. While you got to respect the fact that its a €99.99 device, the lack of wi-fi and the omission of on-board stereo sound is just ridiculous. Better save your money for the upcoming Wii U or PS Vita if I were you.

Sony's just following it's history of simplifying and removing features from there game systems as they get older to save money. They have down this with every game system they have made, each new model some feature is removed to cut production costs.

Everyone is missing the point. Both have announced new consoles. People wont buy old ones or games for them. So they make them cheaper and remove features thas make them more expensive BUT le you play other kinds of games besides the good old hard copies.

This is to move UMDs and CDs games not hardware

The ps2 has done quite well a long side the ps3 for Sony. They have been or still are selling the ps2, for years after the ps3's launch and people still bought the older system cause it is a great game system.
