Do you think that wii haters hate the console or Nintendo itself

Nintendo saw that the games industry was in trouble and decided to recreate gaming once again, now the games industry is railing against it

How exactly was the industry in trouble? 190 + million consoles plus a slew of handhelds, dozens of record breaking games and 10-12 million subscribers to an MMO might disagree, you know.

The industry was (and is) in trouble because of a simple problem... expenses increasing faster than revenues.

 

They're still making good profits and aren't in nearly as much trouble as the rest of the world. In fact; I'm astounded that the economic crisis hasn't affected the industry more than it has (of course, we can't know the full extent of the impact, but still).

Sony and MS have lost money on their consoles, only Nintendo makes healthy profits, other gaming companies are either dying out or merging into massive behemoths to survive, this is not the sign of a healthy industry.
