I have 2 opinions on this, and Wii fans please dont bash me till you read both...

The first is that I agree with a lot of it. Not all of it (achievements being that important is definetly one of them). I stood in line for 4 hours for a Wii and was really excited for TP, but its just been one disappointment after another for me. I'm bored out of my mind with my Wii, and have only turned it on once (for Punch-Out, which I only played for 2 days) in the last year. I would describe myself as a "hard-core" gamer, and yes, they have totally lost me. I won't buy their next console.

My second point is....I would never say all this in a podcast for the Wii section of a website. Fans are going there because they are excited about what they own and they want to read about new stuff coming for it. At the VERY least they should offer a counter-arguement by those that love the Wii.

If you don't want people to jump down your throat then you need to do 2 things. First off, say what you actually agree with. Most of what is up there is absolute non-sense. It is some of the worst trolling I could imagine, though I attribute a lot of that to lack of context. 2 you will need to justify your opinions. Simply saying achievements are better than motion controls is not useful to a discussion. I could give you a very good argument to motion controls being the absolute best thing to come out of this generation that wouldn't even need to include Nintendo.
