Webcomic encapsulates consoles’ launch

This is a pretty funny, but kinda realistic take on the recent weekend launches of the last two much-awaited next-gen consoles. A lot has been written about it, and only rightfully so. After all, it’s not everyday that we’d have this much activity from two of the biggest gaming companies all in a matter of but a couple of days.

Some might say that it’s unfair to tag the PS3 launch as the more violent one. I mean, yeah, so there may have been shootouts, a few robbing incidents here and there, some riots, and even crazy games all for a PS3 unit. But hey, if you’ve been waiting for so long, and almost every other launch date keeps getting delayed, obviously you’d be just as agitated, too.

As for the Wii launch, well, everything’s been just rosy with a whole bunch of happy people cheering good ol’ Reggie on. Then again, that’s how they intended to market the console in the first place: wholesome family fun. So I guess it’s but fitting that the launch turned out that way.

Anyway, this is just for laughs. So no need to get pissed or whatever. We certainly hope you’re all enjoying your favored consoles.
