More Wii-bashing from incompetent journalists - Times Online article

[Gnizmo]

He can't find interesting sound bites to troll in it. Without that he has no real content. You have to see it from his perspective.

I see you repeatedly insult my reading comprehension, and yet you have entirely misread my first statement. In it, I have said not one thing about the current games market. In fact, giving a holistic picture right now would make Nintendo look worse than the competition. Especially if you compare it against the 360 which is up year over year (as I recall off hand) and is increasing in sales during its fourth year (which breaks all established trends). Hopefully the irony is not lost on you though.

What does anything you have said have to do with the article at all? You claimed the article was about Nintendo having the biggest drop in history. A claim the article in question does not make. I have to assume the rest of that is just trying to obfuscate the fact that you got caught in a bad trolling attempt. Better luck next time. Especially considering the fact that I addressed your second part later in the post. Try that reading the whole post thing. It makes you seem less stupid.

Allow me to explain to you a simple fact about journalism. Every story that will ever be written is already planned out. All they are looking for is names, and dates to fill in the blanks. Sensationalism sells. However, if you get very basic facts wrong you look incompetent. Then the news article of the day becomes about how said journalist is incapable of doing his job, and is forced to try and defend is obvious incompetence to his current, and possible future employers. It is important to follow a train of thought all the way to the end.

I hope you point out that "fail" in one of my posts. Do it soon. I am going to be busy at work in a little bit, and I could use a good chuckle.
