Do you remember our earlier story where a NYC Event attendee claimed that sunlight interfered with the console? Turns out, sunlight isn't that big of a deal. 1UP recently asked Nintendo about the issue and received the following statement from a company representative, who was not named:
"Our testing thus far shows no great risk of light interference when playing a game that relies on the pointer and sensor bar."
Still worried? Reassured by the comfortable embrace of mother Nintendo?
[Thanks Erich!]

I wonder why everyone is making such a big fuss about the whole problem.
I mean, who plays with the light shining directly onto the sensorbar = directly onto the screen?
This way you would probably not see a thing anyway...

I know - even before Nintendo answered, I thought it was no big deal. The glare would make it too hard to play in the first place! Crazy people making mountains out of molehills.
The Sony fanboys like nothing better than to give us hell, and when they do I shout "GIANT KILLER CRAB!!" and point at the sky, then, when they look where I'm pointing, I watch them to see if they really do use real-time weapon changing systems.

Why is Javier Solana (vicepresident of the EU or something like that) speaking about Wii in the photo above? xD
