People tend to forget about the NES era in all of this. NES had crap support also early on and it wasn't until late in its life that it received the support it earned through complete domination of sales. Many companies like EA didn't want to support the system and others also thought it was a step back in graphics and tech. During that time PC's were doing 16bit while the NES was 8. Plus the NES was a 'fad', sound familiar?
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
