What I take from John Lucas is a counter balance to the hater. They say Wii is a fad and no one plays it anymore. He says 240 million lock. They say Wiifit is destroying gaming as we know it. He says it will usher in a new era of gamers and gaming.
I feel comfortable in the middle.
It is the ying and yang of VGChartz. As long as we maintain this dicotomy the community will stay interesting.
More specifically I see John's Predictions more like other prophecies told by excentrics wearing sandwich boards. He is not TheSource nor is he trying to be. But lets face it if "the end is nigh" I know who I am talking to first. For those who tell him t olook at statistics they have it all wrong. He predicts from his gut.
My arguement against some of his wild predictions is the natural conservative nature of Nintendo. They like being 3000 employees. They like beng a game company. They are not a hardware company. They are an idea company. For his numbers to come true would require Nintendo to behave more like Microsoft. The will never be that heavy handed.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
