The rEVOLution is not being televised

Does anyone else notice that the more the Wii sells the more it seems to be bashed? I just thought that I'd bring that up. By the way, don't all of the big upcoming Sony and Micosoft games have 2,3,4,or 5 in the title? No reliance on sequels there. The Wii is also starting to have some of the best selling 3rd party games and more and more developers want to make games for it so that argument doesn't work any more. I am not even going to reply to the comment aboout SSBB dying.

 Amp316, far too many elitist gamers feel the Wii threatens their gaming manhood.  As the Wii increases in popularity with the majority populace, we'll see an increase in bruised egos from the niche elitist gaming commune.

Ironic that the supposedly "mature" gamers are the most immature in the industry.

Nintendo has taken a beating by the mass media this week and I have a feeling the media’s love affair with their console is just about at the end of the road.


I'm afraid I don't follow mass media outlets very closely. Could somebody post links to examples of what this guy is talking about?


There was a dumbass story in the New York Times about how the Wii doesn't sell games, used VGchartz as a reference, and then Mike Capps from Epic Games said the Wii was a virus and he would never develop games for it because its graphics suck.

 

All in all, this article is the dumbest fanboy bullshit I've ever seen passed off as a news article. Epic fail doesn't begin to describe it.

 

The increased Wii attention is from the Wii's dominant NPD this month. NYT hopes that next month the Wii will be much closer to the PS3 due to GTAIV so they can do a followup along the lines of "The fad is over" which will also be casual retarded bullshit, just like their first article was.

 

Sorry for the language. This is now the second Wii-hating fanboy journalist who bent the facts to further his Wii-hate agenda.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

The wii domination is something that will not last without good third party support and soon enough will reach its peak( japan:50k-70kwk) and the only boost it would get from sales is its 1st party support but even that will be shrunken as time goes on,in Europe it seems to also be reaching its peak and america they're hardly on shelves so there is still a big market here.The only reason the DS continues to sell at its rate is because of constant support from 3rd party developers and those good games from them you dont see that as much with the wii.

So what? You agree with this guy? Is that what your telling us?

 

For the record, if the Wii never released another game it'd probably still outsell the PS3. Deny it.

The only reason I think the Wii is being singled out because it doesn't have a great new ip out.

Sony has put out Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Folkore, Motorstorm, Resistance, etc launched. MS has launched Gears, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Viva Pinata, etc.

The is the only reasoning I think of to warrant the heavily rely on sequels.

/Devil's Advocate out

Seriously, this guy is dumb. The commentors are even funnier.

zack and wiki? elebits? no more heroes? wii fit? wii sports? red steel? endless ocean?
