Nintendo - Biased reviews - View Post

For people who don't think there is some anti-Wii bias:

This person's job was to review Wii/DS games -- and he hated the system.

There are a lot more people among the core demographics which video games have been traditionally marketed who think the Wii is not a good system than those who think the PS3 and/or Xbox 360 are not a good system. This has as much to do with the Blue Ocean strategy (not everything is for males 15-34) than it does the graphics.

Latest surveys show that less than half the people in the US (47%) have an HD TV. That means how well the graphics look in HD really does not matter to potentially half the gamers. Yet that is the standard by which all graphics are measured.

It is as if no one has ever heard of the "uncanny valley" -- which is essentially where many HD graphics fall, in my opinion.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
