Wrong. The press that hates the Wii never believed in that anyway. They just used the system not meeting it as another excuse to bash it. |
bullshit, The press does not hate the wii, stop your blubbering and poor me mentality and get on with life

Ahh, now here we have a good example of how posts should not be written.
Just how is it bs what LtNK said? Of all the hit 3rd party games on the hd twins, how many came to the Wii? CoD WAW and MW, which is 2 years behind schedule. How many game sites prior to the release of the Wii already placed the console in last place? Almost all of them, save for a few minor sites.
How many devs decided to make true hardcore games for wii without the "test" issue? 3? 4?
The only one suffering from a poor mentality state here is you. The issue isn't that we have to buy a game for a different console but rather why were we subjected to consoles that aren't the most popular on the market.
At this point it's kind of like devs not making apps for windows, regarding all proportions of course.

Gamespot was the only one who said the Wii would win, but that was their 2006 April Fool's Joke.
Ignorance really bothers me.

Erm, aren't these numbers from early this gen? before anybody really thought the Wii would be a hit? At that opoint in time, it wasn't hate, it was what everybody believed (at the time) to be common sense. Nobody really knew the demographics which are very differant from last gen.
