− | This comic relates to {{w|video game consoles}}. | + | This comic relates to {{w|video game consoles}}. Currently, there are three major products competing: the {{w|Playstation 3}} by {{w|Sony}}, the {{w|Xbox 360}} by {{w|Microsoft}} and the {{w|Wii}} by {{w|Nintendo}}. When a game console gets released, fans are often waiting outside the stores or camping on the pavement. The comic shows such a console campout and points out the differences between the fan communities. While the fans waiting in line for a Sony or Microsoft product are very rude, the Nintendo fans are apologetic and try to comfort those who arrived too late to obtain a package. The cliché that Nintendo fans are nicer and more polite, is sometimes attributed to the fact that the Wii is considered a console for children and families while serious gamers would disregard the product. The title text possibly expresses [[Randall|Randall's]] own inclination towards the Nintendo Wii. |
− | + | Note also the clever pun in the title, suggesting that the latecomers are being ''consoled'' in the Nintendo line. | |
