what bashing...

funny how all the wii fans cant handle anyone not likeling the gimmick controller.

 

Nevermind. Hus. Obviously you don't understand what I'm talking about. I'll follow my own advice and won't bother reading or posting to your threads/posts.

 

Jeez, he does sound bitter. Reminds me a lot of Washimul actually ;)

Hus - you don't like the controller... fine! That doesn't bother me at all... it also means one more Wii to be sold to someone who DOES like it.

But guess what - you are completely in the wrong here, and ALL the stats agree. Not only do heaps of people like the Wiimote - a LOT more than like (or even touch) normal controllers - this affection is growing at an alarming rate. Everytime someone new buys the Wii, they expose it to more new people - and this affection is growing and growing.

I'll absolutely, 100%, guarantee you this - Sony's only chance is to CATCH the Wii. And they aren't going to do it with a machine that costs 2.5-3 times as much (nice to see them dropping the 20Gig model - the cheaper alternative :P). Wii sales will NOT slow down (anytime soon anyway) - they are continuing to build speed and momentum, and the only thing saving Sony from some *really* embarassing sales figures - is that Nintendo simply can't build enough of the units to satisfy demand. If/once they get that right - look out.

Its been about 6 months since launch, and demand hasn't showed any signs of slowing down... I'll be waiting to see your excuses in another 2, 4, 6... (and so on) months for why the Wii is still selling out.

PS - Im typing all this, because my wife has been hogging the Wii. She discovered the lure fishing game in Zelda... and now I don't have a TV or console to use :P
