I like how Nintendo puts things in perspective:

If the Wii is the fastest-selling console by 15 months, why do we keep seeing these posts? Shouldn't we be celebrating the fact that it is the fastest-selling console ever?

Here's the facts. 360 had a redesign. PS3 had a redesign. Wii is selling now as the same console it was in 2006. When Nintendo wants to, they can offer a redesigned Wii, spark sales again, and leave Sony and Microsoft in the dust.

Why should we celebrate? Especially if Wii isn't your favourite console?

Do you have nintendo stock or something?

You should celebrate that Nintendo is succeeding. They are the only company that actually cares about gaming. Microsoft and Sony care more about profits, creating monopolies, and sucking the life out of everything they touch.

Okay so Nintendo wanted to expand the market and make gaming mainstream, so what? That's a good thing. That means gaming isn't going to turn into a niche business and slowly die. That means more people are enjoying gaming instead of a select few hardcore grumps.

Selling a console that costs 800 dollars or more for 600 at launch is something that a company   that cares about profit does,(those greedy bastards at Sony)  and selling a console that costs 150 for 250 at launch is from the god Samaritan of gaming (we thank you dear nintendo for not caring for profit and selling your console so cheap)

their own fault they made it cost 800 to produce in the first place, imagine them sellling it for 900 bucks at launch

then Sony would have been really dead and we wouldn't have fanboys like you going around ignoring the truth

Dude i couldn't care less if sony sells 2 consoles or 1 million consoles a day, or nintendo or microsoft for that mater, but an idiotic statement like that one deserves a  reply

Nintendo is in this business for the money first and foremost, because its there core business, thats who they are, and saying that they care for us gamers  because they love us is stupid they are in this business to make money and they are really good at it  

Sony is in this business for marketshare and then make money , playstation is a great product for them to try to bring new ways for the company to make money, and as a heavily high tech company that they are, try and introduce new technology that they have developed, things like bluray, the cell, and other technologys that they have, that can bring money to the corporation, some are good(bluray) others are not(cell sony wanted to sell this chip at some point for pretty much everything )

Microsoft is in this simply to not let sony have the control of the living room, and the fact that they are seeing the future of laptops more and more connected to the tv, and thats an area they probably were thinking sony was after in the long run, and they see this business as one of the major markets for expansion for the future, much more then pc´s, so for now they dont care much for profit, whats important to them is the marketshare at all costs, profits will come later
