Official Xbox Magazine Uses Miis for Editor Pics
Posted by AndyG as Wii Misc at 6:50 PM EST
Not really breaking news or anything, I just found it rather odd but in the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine for March of 2007, the editors have replaced their normal mugs with their Mii counterparts. It took me about 3 double takes to fully realize what was going on, reading an Xbox magazine with Mii’s inside of it. There is a very tiny blurb at the bottom of the page with a minor explanation as to what is going on:
“We like our Wii-generated Mii portraits so much,we thought we’d run them two issues in a row. Next month, we’ll go back to our ever-familiar photos.”
The whole thing is just.. odd. Check the shots I took below and click the images for the full versions:

[…] In the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine for March of 2007, the editors have replaced their normal mugs with their Mii counterparts. Although it might seem strange for apparent competitors to be so friendly towards one anothers products, it just goes to show that they aren’t really direct competitors. I wouldn’t even consider the Wii to be a competitor of the Xbox 360 and the PS3. The PS3 and 360 are both high performance gaming machines, that try to do more with multimedia and online connectivity. Although I hate to say it, the Nintendo Wii is more of a toy that any age can enjoy. Some day I think I’ll belond to the Wii60 club, probably sooner rather than later. Pics from the magazine and more at the link below.read more | digg story […]

What’s odd about it? I’m sure the editors love to play games from all systems; they just report on and review Xbox games only. Besides, Microsoft has publicly stated that the Wii is complementary to the 360, and they expect consumers to eventually buy both.

It’s odd in the same way that it would be odd to see Nintendo Power showing their 360 gamer scores next to their pics. Just odd.

[…] Pretty interesting. I wonder if they did it to say, “hey! The Wii is fun! Makes a great companion piece to your 360.” Or maybe not. Either way its an interesting choice. […]
