I applaud anyone who tries to take a new concept and make it fun. And the one I see making the most effort is nintendo.

You may not think a game like cooking mama would be entertaining, but you DO enjoy eating real meals right? (non-microwavable)

And any game that can actually teach you a worthwhile skills whilst also entertaining you is a novel game indeed; take Brain Age for example. It actually stimulates the mind.

Have either sony or microsoft done anything to actually improve gaming as a whole? any radical new innovations? (sixaxis?) any wild new concepts? (XBL...oh wait)

Have either of them done anything to break the cycle of the stereotypical gamer cliche?

sorry but your post ran circles around my head, i couldnt get the clear concept of what you were trying to say. but now i do.

no microsoft and sony havent done radical things that take gaming in new directions, but is anyone who owns their consoles complaining? games like those wouldnt sell on 360 or ps3 because thats not the market, teenage boys, college students, and other sorts of what-have-you men between the ages of 12-30 are the main audience for the 360. theyre happy with a new badass gears of war.

wii has my mom for brain age and my sisters for cooking mama and animal crossing, good for wii, no ones denying nintendo can produce games that push the boundaries, or that their systems can inspire new things not possible elsewhere, but thats not what gamers always want.

They learn you to cook.. You eat too much... Then they get you to Wii fit, is that ironic?

my point is that nintendo is trying to break the mold an explore new ideas and try and make them fun, so why belittle them for that?

And as far as the topic of the Conduit's attempt for voice chat support, well why not?

I mean how many ps2 games were there to support voice chat? (I never owned one so it's a legitimate question.) The only one I can think of is SOCOM.

Yeah the other guys have it and ninty is long overdue, but since they are the inclusive and family oriented, there are certain hurdles that they need to overcome before this simple technology that the other gamers have enjoyed for so long can finally be realized on the wii.

If they'd simply update the firmware to that parental controls are needed to activate voice chat as an option then that would be fine. Seeing as how most of us whom want it are above the age where we look to parents for guidance and permission to buy games anyway.
