Also, in a polite way, can someone, please explain to me...

WHY IS THE WII DOOMED???


dunno (the word, not the mod), usually nintendo fans say that, might as well ask them :P

Awesome post MUGEN-San (wanted to call you sama here but we have reserved that for just Kojima rite?)

 

Anyway no-one in this thread. Last year the people calling Wii doomed were hardly much in numbers and weren't very reliable posters (and okey-dokey was joking when he kept saying "Wii is finished" last year). Oh and I am using the actual definition of doom here as saying Wii has poor sales does not equal doomed, relative to past Wii sales its a opinion that can be argued to carry much weight.

 

They aren't saying "Wii is d00med" anymore, because you can get banned for it (ask Chibi)

But, there is a lot of things like:

"360-Nice

PS3-Good

Wii-Erm...despreately needs a price-cut IMO"

May not be so prolific in this thread, but in other, similar threads, it's been a very clear pattern...

But how does any of that lead to mean Wii is doomed.

People are only saying that as Wii is down YOY by A LOT, so a price cut should stabilise things.

How doesn't it lead to the fact that Wii is doomed?

If you were to have a flow chart...

 

  • Console sells amazingly well, fastest selling home console of all time. Revolutionses gaming
  • People who dislike the way Nintendo took the Wii from 2007-2009 want to find a way to call it a failure, however, in these years, it is impossible
  • Wii enters its 4th year, lots of "hardcore" SW being shifted, sales drop
  • Said fanboys from step 2 attack this fact and call it "doomed". They now have a reason
  • Moderators catch on, call it "trolling/baiting", ban the word
  • Fanboys are upset, look for a non-troll-ey (?) way of expressing their hatred for Nintendo
  • They say Nintendo "needs a price-cut" or "new SW to ignite sales"
  • Analyst who is upset he was wrong catches on, media listen
  • World is against Nintendo, or so it seems, Nintendo fans join in
  • The Wii is now doomed
That's how I see it anyway
(just to note, I don't mean to annoy or upset anyone, and I shouldn't hear. But that seems to me how this has been working as of late )

Again re-read my post about it not even being called doomed by reliable posters. The world isn't against nintendo, I dunno why it seems like that, DKCR, SMG2, Kirby Wii reception is proof enough when fabulous games from Nintendo come they will get the world with them (both critics, media and fans alike...barring exceptions which are again just exceptions). But as Wii is disappointing in sales people won't be quiet about it.

And now it is mostly Nintendo fans using the word Wii and doomed in the same sentence.

Everyone else is concerned about the massive YOY drops and thinks a price cut can fix that.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
