Haiku #35: Consoles Reviewed

First came three-sixty
Hot like burning Dell laptops
Green, mutated X

Then PlayStation 3
2^8 kilogram apples
I could buy for that

Enter saviour, Wii
Nunchuck and Twilight Princess
Wii Move You — my heart

I’ll probably wait for Super Smash Bros for Wii before buying the wonderful console anyway, but I’m still biased. Who would not be happy with a near-wireless Nunchuk?

  2. My husband now wants a Wii as well - I have to say it looks pretty cool and is also much more reasonably priced than the others (especially the PS3, wowie!). This is a great take on the project and so unique!! We also participated in this project, stop on by if you get a chance!

  4. When I look back on this year, I’ll always get a chuckle out of the PS3 launch. Absolute insanity. Very clever haiku.

  5. This year was insane for the game console industry… and everyone is trying to cash in. Even if it means fighting for a PS3 in the street….geez. What is the world coming to?

  8. Hehehe, found you on the participant list at problogger. I like your little poem. Our Xbox 360 harddrive took a dive after we only had it for like 6 months… grrr. My husband wants a PS3 but I told him no for now… way too expensive!

    Good luck in the problogger contest.

  11. I was lucky enough to meet a new friend with a spouse at Nintendo, who graciously shipped a Wii to my doorstep. (My husband has awaited this console for months now.) Great haiku, here’s my post in the project. :) Good luck!
