So to those who actually subjected themselves to listening to ign's podcast, did they really say that Wii would be doomed when NATAL and the wand came out?

 

Something like that, that if you're new to motion controls you may prefer those options instead, and that they don't know what Nintendo will do when they lose the casual gamer, because the hardcore gamer has totally abandoned them and they need them.

Malstrom was paraphrasing (as he said before writing the summary) but was spot on. Terrible podcast.


  Wow, maybe someone should send them a copy of this book:
