"I think this is dumb and here's why:
-Modern TVs with digital tuners already have integrated EPGs, so why need another?
-And if you don't own a digital TV, then it'll be useless in a few years when the analogue signals are switched off anyway.
-If you're using the Wii, you're not watching TV and surely actually watching a programme is better than reading about it, no?
-And if you actually switch ON your Wii just to check what's on TV...
-Your TV already comes with a remote, you don't need another.
-Most, if not all Japanese mobile phones already come with an EPG app built-in, which also acts as a remote control.
-The page in the newspaper containing the week's programming is still easier to use for technophobes/"non-gamers".
-When this IS made available outside Japan, it will be even less useful on PAL TVs since they have had Teletext for years."
