| Squilliam said: Well there are some good points in the article, I think the major point is that whenever someone says anything remotely unpositive about the Wii they are dismissed as bashing the console. The sales are down, Nintendos shares are WAY down and the market is reacting to what they percieve to be a threat for Nintendos long term growth. This is something that people should be thinking about, rather than fiddling whilst Rome is burning. (so to speak). Like the article says, the Wiis drop is unprecedented and its not like the console itself is unaffordable when its $250 and comes with a really compelling piece of software out of the box. |
Although i agree with you wholeheartedly on this point I really don't think this phenomena is unique to Nintendo fans.
I do think calling this "Wii-bashing" is a bit sensationalistic but any good points the author may have had lost are lessened by the manner in which he cherry picks facts about releases for the remainder of the year. To dismiss WSR and to not even mention NSMB Wii or Wii Fit + is not just an oversight, it's selecting facts to support a conclusion, and a headline.
