No im only showing he may have a little truth in terms of 3rd party, which means pulling out 1st party is completely relevant.

How 3rd partys are doing is completely relevent because you know what, 3rd party support defines a console. Also if people are not really playing 3rd party games he has a little truth to his subject, though alot of people do its not quite where it should be.

Whether they deserve it doesnt really matter. Look at mario and sonic at the olympics. Looks to be a mediocre game at best, yet because it has the mario name its sold big time. This only proves that whether the game is good or not people will generally only buy games that are associated with 1st party/nintendo.

Im not saying its a money pit, im just saying i can see a little truth in his arguement instead of all the wii fanboys crying

LOL ROFFLE WHAT A LOSER LOOK AT WII DOMINATION

If his argument only has a "little truth" when we ONLY look at 3rd party then how good is his argument considering he fails to single out 3rd party? You're basically making exscuses for the argument.

But as I said his argument is about how much time people spend playing games and neither you or I can seperate out how much time is spent on 1st vs 3rd party games so the "amount" of truth is indescernable in terms of 1st or 3rd part. What is descernable is that people play their Wii quite a bit according to Nintendo's own polls put out during E307. But more than that the article says that he thinks 3rd parties will leave the Wii "sooner rather than later". Which is of course ridiculous when the console has the lowest development cost and is poised to have an overwhelming lead in terms of sales by the time any game that is started now is released. We can try to find a "little truth" in each of his arguments but it doesn't make a bit of difference when his overall idea is way off base.

Whether games deserve to flop or not does matter. I would be far more concerned if games like Boogie were doing well, and you would be complaining about that too if it had sold well.

Now, what is your underlying point? Even if there were a "little truth" in his position, who cares? What does that matter? What does this "little truth" mean in terms of impacting sales in your opinion?
