Apathy for the Wii

When things are slow I look in the forums I don't normally frequent to find threads I'm interested in.  What I find interesting these days is that I'm completely apathetic towards the Wii.  Normally that would mean I wouldn't even bother posting something like this but I thought it was interesting especially in light of some of the Wii threads I've noticed recently.

Some of these threads are bashing videogame sites or videogame journalists but to be honest I think the reason many are saying what they are about the Wii is because they too are currently feeling apathy towards it.  The biggest new games for the system in the past few months have been Animal Crossing which apparently is just a rehash and Wii Music which while having its defenders seems to really live up to its title of being a non-game because who really is playing it.

This of course will change in the future but for those bashing videogame journalists, maybe that's the reason they are basically saying what they are about the system.  After you talk about sales, and really how long does it take to say it's selling amazingly well, what else is there really to talk about?  Games that are coming out next year?  The Dragon Quest X announcement really shouldn't have surprised anyone and the game won't be seen for at least another year or two.  Other than that are the same handful of promising games that we've already heard about months ago.

Anyways that's all I have to say and this isn't a knock against Wii owners or anything, I hope you're enjoying your system.  I just hope it explains to some who think what's being said is out of fear or anger or whatever emotion you can think of, it's likely just indifference.

 

You're wrong about DQX. If it would have been announced as a PS3 or 360 exclusive, it woulda torn the fanboy wars a new hole.

The internet core gaming clique might have lost interest in the Wii, but that doesn't give anyone the right to be unfair to the console, just because they feel there won't be any fanboy backlash consequences.

The Wii is going through a tough time for games right now. It's still the best damn hardware on the market, because it actually added something to the way we play games. The other two consoles didn't. If the software was there, then the Wii would without a doubt "deserve" to have the 50 percent marketshare that it already demands.

Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean your meaningless opinion is a "news story."

Entheusiast press immaturity really pisses me off.
