I'm a bit amazed that Anti-Wii Week 2008 is almost exactly around the same time it happened last year too. And always spurred on by NPD numbers.

I was going to chronicle AWW 07 right after it happened. I wish I did now.

Last year it was in May after NPD numbers for April came in. The hardcore world was in trouble after GTA IV failed to put a dent into the Wii's armor or something like that. This year the big game was released in March and it failed just like Rockstar's game a year earlier. I think some people just can't let it go and still hope that the Wii fad will hopefully end one day.

 

But before GTA IV was even released, there was a bunch of Wii hate.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
