You really must be new to the guy. He was actually saying the Wii and DS WOULD succeed. He was even stating why it would. It was the "hardcore" who proclaimed the Wii and DS would fail and that the 3DS would succeed.

Hardcore now says the 3DS would succeed ?..  wow I must be really new to the internetz... coz what I remember its all doom and gloom for 3DS..(1)

I never said he didnt say wii and DS would succeed.. (2)

but now his the new generation nintendo doomsayers! coz his already dooming the 3DS and the not yet released wiiU.. no difference.. just a new generation doomsayer.(3)

1. Then you weren't paying attention from E3 '10 to the first few months after the 3DS launch. They were gushing all over it, and even now there are still some insisting that once a game they like comes out, the system will take off.

2. No, you claimed that anyone at all claiming they wouldn't succeed somehow disproves his points.

3. Wrong. There is a difference, in that he's stating WHY the last systems succeeded, and why the new ones won't, AND he's being consistent about it (as in going for a type of direction that pleases the mainstream, which he has applied to every video game system).
