One of his better articles in a while. It is and has always been suspicious always hearing analysts and publishers alike talking about Wii HD. I don't think I've ever seen a market leader who is still number one in console sales by a large margin over its competitors almost brow beat into doing something as nonsensical as to cut off their fanbase simply to upgrade visual quality? That doesn't seem to matter to the majority of Wii owners.
Main big name franchises would and DO sell great on Wii. That's just industry talk. A flop on Wii is Wii's audience fault a flop on the other consoles is because the game just wasn't any good. I'd love to see how well a spin off dead space rail shooter would sell on an HD console. I'm so glad NMH is coming to HD consoles I'm leaning toward it being a GTA:CW situation all over again.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
