How ironic is it that the gaming journalists- who spend their time praising how quickly gaming advances, how gaming becomes bigger than movies or music and is becoming better and better-are unable to change with the times? I find it highly ironic, that as gaming truly is becoming bigger than movies and music, and becoming more mainstream, journalists fail to change. They don't change their methods, their ways of thinking about the industry or their way of judging the quality of a product.
These journalists have demonstrated an amazing inability to deal with the shift Nintendo have created. The attitude of a small number of high minded, elitist techno-snobs compared with the success of Wii and DS demonstrates clearly how much the industry has changed.
It's not going to be dictated by the blogs, or by the analysts, or by the so called hardcore-the consumers will dictate where gaming goes. Nintendo just had the foresight to recognise that, and to recognise what consumers would want.
