| theprof00 said: I just realized that my original quote said "nothing has been quite as accepted as the wiimote".... This definitely does not say it's the most accepted. It says nothing has produced the same kind of acceptance behavior. the quote is talking more about the way it was accepted and not how much it was accepted. Additionally, it says this "as an alternative". As far as that is concerned, it is the most highly accepted alternative to a traditional controller |
"It was only this generation that a peripheral finally found it's place as an alternative. It's been 20+ years and no peripheral has been quite as accepted as the wiimote."
As an alternative? A controller as an alternative to a controller? If you really meant "as an alternative type of controller", you wrote it wrong.
As for your other point, it's bullshit. If nothing has been as accepted then that literally means it has been accepted more than anything else; i.e. it has been the most accepted. (Nothing having been "quite" as accepted means the same thing unless you want to claim it implies only being the most-accepted by a small margin, which makes no difference to the point.)
"the quote is talking more about the way it was accepted and not how much it was accepted."
If this is really what you meant, then you wrote it in completely the wrong way and no reasonable person with a standard understanding of English would have read it that way. (I suppose that's redundant but whatever.)
You should have written something like, "no peripheral has been accepted quite LIKE the wiimote", or, even better, "accepted in quite the same way that the wiimote has been".
If you had written it that way, then (once I understood that you meant "peripheral" to mean "controller") I would have agreed with you, since no controller has been fought the way the Wii Remote has been.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
