So... I reread this and have to say that it's one of Rol's better works.

Good job Rol.

See, I told you he could do better than the New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread!

Perhaps I was his motivation

Rol... you're the best user on any boards in the whole world!

L.C.E.C., salaminizer and perpride, thanks for making me realize that.

I can't say for sure if L.C.E.C was really being serious, but it's obvious that the other two were being sarcastic.

Even in the imaginary, those answers are awesome!

I knew the article was fake, because of this phrase at the bottom: "*NTH (Now that's hardcore) is a fictive market research firm that collects its data primarily from internet message boards."

But I just felt like rolling around with the ride for once... see what people say... It's kinda how I feel about real analysts... I just decided to exaggerate a bunch, especially with the "shut the FUCK up" comments... Hahahaha, oh what joy...




They need to stop reporting out of their asses those damn analysts, now im pissed... oh wait is this one of those famous rol threads? am I being punk'd? Ashton? where are you Ashton?

Good Humor :P

Wow. Almost five days later, you resurrect the thread for THAT?

I agree with the analyst, I think the fad is coming to an end, soccer moms are now tired of waving their arms around holding a remote and are ready for the next step: waving their arms around without a controller and eliminating the controller barrier. annedoctal evidence suggests that Wii owners are finishing their studies and ready to graduate to the HD machines, so the WiiHD will also be useless and Nintendo will become a software-only company. there's also the issue of japanese Wii owners selling their consoles after the rumor of a Monster Hunter 3 port to the Xbox 360, so Nintendo is doomed in America, Europe and Japan too.

So you agree with him that the reason the future is brighter for the other companies, is because they have motion controls of their own coming out.

 

Sorry, but you're crazy on all accounts within your post.

 

And dear god, it's been a while since the "nintendo will be a software only company" argument got bandied about. Yeah, that'll happen after all the years of profitable hardware. (Remember, even when they were third with the Gamecube, they were the company that made the most money.)

It's so sad that I have to read posts like this.

why do i think everything in that article is wrong?

from the point that WSR sold bad, Wii sales are low, hardcore games don't sell and 3rd parties don't sell, i think it's all wrong

also, 50m is great sales, even if it stops selling right now it's still a success



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

@OP analyst snippet

ROFLMAO

Everything in that entire thing was so terribly written.

"Historicly third parties don't sell on the Nintendo platforms" O_o
SNES, third party sells more than Nintendo
N64, third party mostly develops for PS
NGC, third party mostly develops for PS2
How does this provide weight against the Wii?

"The Wii isn't selling as strongly as it used to"?
umm so ok the Wii is past it's prime after 3 years. So this means that PS360 was past there prime after 2 years?

"people are waiting on the PS3 for the next motion control"?
Where is the evidence?
Software excites and Sony hasn't backed there entry yet. No one holding off until there is something to wait for.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
