Lets be clear here, people like to think that just because someone responds to a negative comment about a Wii we are somehow attacking folks. This simply isn't the case. If you post your concerns you are asking for responces otherwise you wouldn't need to let us all know. So when people get those responces they get to decide how to react to them and if the reasoning is enough to change their minds.

As for this percieved "can't hate the wii" attitude that is BS. A lot of Wii fans had the exact same responce back when Leo-J pulled a very serious thread about how the PS3 was a failure and he was feeling down about it. Several Wii & PS3 fans responded explaining that the PS3 was far from dead in the water and that it still had things it could do.

Nobody was coddling Leo and telling him it was going to make a big comeback to first, but we were still correcting his mistaken assumptions even though so called fanboys would be dancing around the fire laughing at the thread.

That is a stark contrast to what happened with Rol's thread, instead of Sony fans disagreeing with the points that were wrong they piled on and in general I think that shows a completely different mindset on this website between the two groups of people.

It was none of you frequent guys who responded, it was some other dude who was far less respective and eloquent to say the least... Don't matter though, if people can't voice their opinion in ways suitable for others than 12 year old's, it's that much easier to ignore... right?

That said; I think most of you who have been users here a long time will agree that there is massive Wii support in here! Not that that's a bad thing, heck, it's miles better than the 90% BoxBoyz over at Gamespot who are about 10 years old on average...

As for my stance in the whole console wars; I like to keep track of both hardware and software (especially the latter), but I've yet to make the next gen leap (perhaps it's about time we call it current gen now?). This is more out of economic reasons than choice though, and I'll be getting a PS3 next year, allthough; I'm not as fond of the machine as I thought I'd be.
