@Esa-Petteri: Beats me too. But still the group in question seems to be most vocal about the sales of Wii Fit.

As long as I have been lurking here, the most vocal group has been the ones who like to bash the "hardcore".

You must've missed the threads about the Wii is a fad, GTA4 will kill the Wii, Wii Fit will flop, Wii Music is killing the industry, and Mario Kart is casual crap.

Personally, I don't care what people play.  But when they call themselves "hardcore" to act better than other people, screw 'em.

Yeah. As I said, as long as I have been lurking here. During that time I haven't seen any GTA will kill the wii or wii fit will flop threads. I'm not so sure about that wii music is killing the industry, but I guess you can show me that one? Oh and what is wrong if someone considers mario kart as "casual crap"? How does that affect you?

 

Are those who call other people "snobcore" any better?  Or the ones who use "hardcore" to bash some people who happen to like for example, shooters?
