If you want to see, open your eyes. It's your choice to remain in your self-induced darkness.

By the way, I doubt you remember, but last year (more than 7 months ago I think) you were so...enthusiastic, about Wii's future and upcoming 2009 games. I remember telling you, you'd see nothing, nothing woth the wait come April 2009. Well, your time is almost up. I've also provided facts in the past that proved that very, very few third party JAPANESE developed games sell well on the Wii (and far worse or nothing outside Japan, *except* for some rare Sega game) I'd be very amused if you could show any kind of data that can prove this wrong. It was true months ago when I said that, and guess what? it's still is. The Wii is the "king" of the market, yet the big third party titles don't sell best on the Wii, or not much anything else from third parties big game or not. Why is that? Have anybody seen somthing like this before? In the years of NES, SNES and PlayStations, could you really find so many third party strong titles NOT selling on the #1 selling console but instead selling a lot more on the competition? Then you people get angry when someone says the Wii doesn't compete directly with the HD consoles, you see? The guy from the OP has a very fair point, he expressed himself like a jerk, but most of it was very true.
