I find the most vile comments on UK-tech heavy/savvy website. They seem to not understand/not want to understand the machine. Instead, they despise it because it is not cutting/bleeding edge.
The disdain shown for the Wii by much of the gaming press seems to also be out of ignorance. Basically, it is a bunch of 25 year old males who seem to think that a game has to be an FPS, a sandbox, or have multi-player to be good. There are exceptions, but the Wii detractors tend to fall into the category I described.
I agree with many of the characterizations already posted. For example, Game Informer is so bad with respect to the Wii that I had to subscribe to Nintendo Power. (The irony is that more GI owners have Wii consoles than PS3s -- according to data published by the magazine).

I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
