| Desroko said: I'm tempted to just let this lie, but with all respect, can't you see how rude it is to deride others for "moonlighting as analysts" and "getting into pissing matches" when you readily admit that you have done the same thing, and that your own efforts were shoddy? |
That's true.
What sparked me off in this case was that sqrl fired at me sarcastically.
Rather than fire back, I should have just listed the numbers and made my case, as is how I'd usually do it.
You haven't exactly been the most diplomatic yourself, though. It's actually pretty easy to change my mind, so long as it's done politely, hence why I was more willing to antagonize after the first reply to my original post.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
