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

That they're selling a ton of consoles a profit, just because Nintendo is doing well doesn't mean they aren't being hit by the economy fluctuations as well, they just doing less amazing then they were.

that... they just so happen to have the right business model at the right time.

It shows the weakness in the industry, Nintendo may not be doing as well, but they are still doing great, most comapnies would love to be in Nintendo's place right now, the games industry on the other hand is not doing as well, layoffs, closings, mergers, are all signs of failures.

because of the economy, are you trying to tell me that Nintendo foresaw this economic dip and based their strategy for years based on this premonition in order to "save the industry"?  BS, they sell consoles at a profit because that has always worked for them and helped them make it through tougher generations, not because they are the benevalent saviors of the industry.

Nintendo didn't forsee the downturn, but they did forsee that the games industry was in trouble, they've been saying it for years, what they have created is taking gaming in a direcation away from the games industry, and will help to save gaming from another crash
