The Wii is not dead or dying.

@padib  but wouldnt the "serious gamer" have bought a PC PS3, 360 already??? IMHO there is no reason that if your a serious gamer you would only have a WIi. Hell if your a serious gamer you would have more than one gaming machine. The writings were on the wall when it came to WIi and a certain type of games they would get, I knew from day 1 that they werent going to get the GTAs, RE5s, DSs, etc. Thats one of th reasons why i had to get PS3, for great 3rd party support. thats just me.

I agree with your gimmicky part, but as a fan of all of Sony's consoles thus far, i could really give a damn what they say about the competition, even though i dont agree, there only responsibilty to me is giving me games i want to play and thats exactly what they have done for me. Sure its "bad" but there rip-off actually delivered on accurate controls day one so i would say thats "good"

Although you obviously have a different context, that sentence showed what was wrong with the Wii support from third parties and Nintendo. What I mean is for the most part, they outright refused to do that. Now any reasons have the simple problem that it was the artists deciding they know better than the patrons (which is a modern myth about many forms of art, but it doesn't happen that way in history).

And when Sony and Microsoft decided they knew better, their systems were having trouble, and they had to work for the customers again to get some momentum back.
