| Kenny said: ^ In retrospect, Nintendo releasing their argument in two steps was genius: Start by releasing data which feigns weakness and inevitably draws demands to show the full story, and then reveal their actual strength to be exactly what they claimed, and force their detractors to either accept Nintendo is doing well, or to move the goalposts. Since the former seems to be pretty much unthinkable by the peanut gallery on blogs like joystiq, kotaku and destructoid (the former of which is due for some serious crow eating for their dizzying spin on the subject), they were forced into the latter. And so, with two graphs, the hypocrisy of the Wii bashers on gaming blogs has been laid bare for all the world to see. |
Agreed. I didn't even think about it like that.
And as for Joystiq, people posted a link to Kotaku's updated 3rd party only graph in Joystiq's original trolling, spin-heavy blog post and the editors deleted it each time. A heavy Joystiq poster by the name of SamFish said that his comment was purposely deleted that contained that Kotaku link.
