The endless bitching, moaning, whining, groaning, kvetching, I don't know an equivalent word in Swahili but you get my meaning. From non-owners it's one thing and it is to be expected. But from owners isn't this routing getting a little old. |
huh??
it's an amazing state that this world is in that this sentence can be said and not elicit an immediate "what the hell are you talking about" response.
Why in the world should it be expected for non owners to bitch about the Wii? It shouldn't be at all, they don't own one. Why should they care about it? I don't own an Xbox360/PS3, so why should I be complaining about something I don't own? I have no reason to care either way about them. The only thing I could bitch about either one is that they're too expensive and I want one, which isn't true anyway.
As for owners, who else is going to bitch about the Wii? Surely if anyone has a right to bitch about the Wii it's the people who forked over money for it. There's plenty to complain about, no region-free play and inability to calibrate the pointer being the two major hassles. But the pros far outweigh the cons. So hell if I'm going to sell my Wii. Besides, I'm already looking into ways of fixing these two problems. I've already ordered a WiiKey so I can play imports (no more waiting for 5 months for a game, Nintendo) and I'm going to make my own sensor bar and see if moving the IR leds further apart will improve matters.
But even though a product isn't perfect, that doesn't mean you should sell it. Everything has flaws. And god dammit, I reserve my right to bitch about them (especially when they could hav ebeen so easily fixed. Why is there no system wide pointer calibration? Would it be THAT DIFFICULT?)
PS. you misspelt routine
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
