But there were PS3 fans who made the same argument whenever a bad Lair review was posted. Did you as a Wii fan make that same argument after the first review bashing Lair came out?

"No. But I was always suspicious that LAIR was going to be a dispointment - watching the movies and so on." 

So you didn't make that "wait for more reviews" argument because you knew Lair was going to be a disappointment.  But you made the argument for Boogie because you were always suspicious Boogie was going to be a good game, watching the movies and so on?  I guess you could have believed that, although it sure seemed like it was vice versa for most people.  It had nothing to do with their respective consoles?  Okay.

 

"What exactly are YOU trying to prove here? That LAIR is a good game, and doesn't deserved to be bashed?"

Yes, my point is obviously that Lair is a good game and doesn't deserve to be bashed. I mean, just look at the end (hint: after the "---") of my original comment, when I conclude by stating that Lair is the greatest video game ever made.  Brilliant.  You got me, I'm just a Sony fanboy.  One thing I would certainly never do is point out the hypocrisy of PS3 fans engaging in mental gymnastics to try and justify their future purchase of Lair despite a steady steam of horrible reviews.
