Looks like Nintendo loves to rub it in...

I couldn't help but notice this, now that I've got my Wii working fine online:

If you've been on the Wii News Channel of late, it seems Ninty's doing a fine job in ensuring any bad publicity about other game platforms make their way into the headlines. Today I see two articles in the Technology section about Microsoft's problems with the Xbox 360 - one about their announcement that they're going to take a billion USD hit to extend warranties from 1/2 to 3 years on their consoles, and another about Microsoft not admitting the real problem about their boxes - that they've rushed them out the door in late 2005, not realizing the potential of overheating.

Good old Nintendo. Not the company that would rub salt in the wounds of the competition, now, wouldn't they?
