dude ur stupid most people buy wii for nintendo games so wii is doomed because they will not be caring sholveware or minigames at retail stores. if they do that great they will buy more nintendo made games like wii sports resort, wiifit, punchout, ssmb, mario galaxy, metroid, nsmbwii, zelda tp, wii music, and animal crossing. Plus third party causal games like band hero, guitar hero, rock band, disney sing it, just dance, and what have u will sell. How will retailers know which games are mini games or sholveware game? Nintendo could tell developers to put it on wiiware so i don't see this as an issue.

It's funny, for two straight gens, people claimed Nintendo was "doomed/domed", "on their way out" and such....

Haven't people learned, Nintendo continues to have the last laugh. They got their asses handed to them by Sony for two gens, while continuing to make money, and more money than Sony.

"Domed" eh....?

 I think you'll find this thread proves Nintendo are doomed and on their way out.

 Have you not seen how rapidly they're losing marketshare!?

You can't be serious. Losing marketshare? Do you REALLY think the PS3 or 360 can catch up? Seriously? For that to happen, Nintendo would have to literally stop selling units altogether, and even then it would take these two so long to catch Nintendo. Look at where they are, nearly 30 million units ahead of the 360 (nearly ALL of he PS3's entire userbase) and 34 million untis ahead of the PS3. To catch the Wii's numbers, these two have to pratically DOUBLE in userbase. Remember, that would also consist of the Wii STOPPING altogether.

Just. Isn't. Possible.

Nintendo lost 0.2% market share in the last three months.

 That means in 740 months Nintendo will have 0% marketshare, it's definitely doomed.

No no, look at an exponential function.  In the first 3 months, it's .2%.  In the next 3 months, it's 2%.  In the third three months, 20%!

Nintendo are headed for negative marketshare!!!

I know that you people do that on purpose, but this fact doesn't make you less insane. 



Lol @ jokethread. XD

Okay, since it's on the second page, I'll explain it a bit. Duh, it's a joke thread. I thought the absurdity of the arguments would give it away. I mean, for my "randomly selected page" it was alphabetically organized so that all the Petz titles would show up. I referenced two gamecubes ducktaped together. I did everything I could.

I'm also disappointed no one noticed my subtle tribute to Rol's Wii Bingo thread and fkusumot's famous tag line in one.

I figured this site was missing something with Rol gone, so I tried to fill in as best I could.

Rol had no part in this piece (aside from inspiring it). I wrote it, and I'd hope my lack of awkwardly worded phrases is enough to show Rol didn't (English being my first language and all).

Ok...look.

Yes this is obviously a joke thread (I realized that as soon as I read the marketshare part). At the same time, you fail at providing INTERNET sarcasm. People obviously can't 100% tell if you're serious or not because all of the communication here is text based. So if you're going to provide parody, please make it in more obvious ways so people can actually enjoy the comedy. Khuutra does a really good job at this...more people here should follow his lead.

If it's too obvious it wouldn't be any fun cuz nobody would be tricked into believing the OP ;)

I actaully think this thread made it TOO OBVIOUS! cuz not enough people believed it, but really nice thread dude :)

oh, and lol @ CGI & jammy2211 :D



sorry for comments earlier i didn't get ur joke thread over my head. my apologies.

It's kind of pathetic that so many people think the Wii is doing well. That couldn't be further from the truth at the moment.

Before I'd begin, I'd like to say I don't hate the Wii; I simply recognize it's imminent failure.

Please stop encouraging Michael Pachter.  You keep this up, Michael will be quoting you to justify his opinions of things.



I give you 9000 for this thread. Need to soften it up a bit to make it more believable and thus drag more into your tar pit.

I was afraid of having the thread locked or even possibly being banned for making it too believable and getting reported for trolling.  Since this was my first attempt, I played it a little safe, haha.

Also, I was annoyed that some users love to cherry pick to justify their warped views of reality, and I was trying to show the ridiculous nature of such logic, so I wanted it to be absurd.


Edit: Check out the first letter of each paragraph, by the way.


Edit2: I count 11-12 I've got so far.  I don't think that's too bad.
