Oh jeez, where to start? First off, this guy seems to not actually know any history whatsoever. He's obviously very familiar with happy little cliches like "bubbles always burst", but not too well-versed in things like, you know, historic trends and patterns in human nature. Like how people actually spend MORE on cheap entertainment options when money is tight, not less. Second, his rants are more opinion than anything else, based off of personal feelings more than actual facts (360 has "vastly more good games" by whose standards? Certainly not the mainstream's...). Third, he's made the same foolish mistake that game developers made in the late 1980s, assuming that the real power in the industry lies with the producers and not with the consumers. The people have voted Wii with their wallets, just like they voted NES 20 years ago, and just like 20 years ago, the only losers are going to be the ones who don't support that vote.
That was not so much a pair of articles as it was a set of uninformed beliefs set out to justify the writer's dislike of the Wii, as far as I can tell...
