"(on a side note, your often refrenced examples of Cabbage Patch Dolls and Tickle Me Elmo shows that you have no understanding of either situation; both had huge media build up - everyone was declaring both to be must have items - and massive advertising campaigns aimed at kids; Nintendo was panned in the media at launch, and in some publications to this day, and the Wii's marketing campaign has been very low key)"
It's quite the other way around actually. Don't you people remember the way that people started panning the PS3 following E3 2006 on various websites including the PC vs. Mac mock ad that was made with Wii being the mac and PS2 being the PC. Then the South Park episode where Cartman is obssessed with the Wii and all of the newspaper articles in the weeks before launch saying the PS3 was going to be the new Dreamcast?
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.
