As third parties shut out the Wii a ton of new gamers will shut out third parties. Most new gamers will not know or care who these developers are and will only recognize Nintendo games as quality.

As the gaming media shuts out the Wii a ton of new gamers will shut out the gaming media. Most new gamers will not know or care what these "professionals" have to say.

This is only if any of this stuff is really true. I'm still unconvinced and doubtful that the industry is really trying to get rid of Nintendo as a hardware company. However, if they are, and they don't succeed, they'll only be shooting themselves in the foot as these new gamers become core.

Forget new gamers, this kind of stuff is happening to someone who has been gaming for two decades.  I'll give you one guess who that could be.

I don't care much about most third parties, I don't care much about most of their IPs, and I don't care who develops those games.  Why?  Because they have been avoiding Nintendo consoles for the past three generations.  They haven't been building their brands on Nintendo consoles, so they are starting from scratch with me.  Even then, if you put a good game on a Nintendo console I'll probably buy it, but I'm not going to spend money on a second console to get it.  Why do I only buy Nintendo consoles?  Because I know before the generation even starts that I'm going to get 10+ great Nintendo games that are going to be some of the best games the industry has to offer.

I already ignore most of the gaming media.  The only thing most of them are 'professionals' at anymore is trolling.

Pachter for one, lol, Malstrom brought up a good point, why did Pachter apologize about calling the PSP Go a ripoff, but keeps on trumpeting the Wii HD?

Hey, Pachter still has a month and a half to go before his HD Wii in 2009 prediction looks completely ridiculous.

Yes, I know he has since pushed that prediction back to HD Wii in 2010.
