It's reasonable to assume he held it, but why would he consider it bulky when everyone else said it was light relative to the size it exhibited 

 

something can be both light and bulky, just like something can be small and also heavy...

the word "bulky" is related to the size of the object in question ( as far as i know ) while "light" refers to the weight and it is for this very reason that your point about other journalists saying its  light imo isn't even relevant to his comment

 

bulk·y   (blk)

adj. bulk·i·er, bulk·i·est
1. Having considerable bulk; massive.
2. Of large size for its weight: a bulky knit.
3. Clumsy to manage; unwieldy.

 

Is thefreedictionary wrong to consider weight in its definition? Even beyond that, I considered weight given size (or volume), which is 100% in line with the definition. Point 3 relates to ergonomics, which I also discussed.

Either he is biased, or he spoke out of his hat

or maybe he's not a drone and can believe something is bulky even when a few other people said otherwise ( which so far you have shown no one did imo )

Or he's an idiot. Given our discussion thus far and the definition of bulky (i.e. given facts) that's exactly what he is. Others have said otherwise, you just needed to be reminded of what bulky meant, that's all, imo.

Since you're that kind of poster (you don't use common sense on these kind of things

lol because i don't agree with you so i don't use common sense and i'm that kind 

No, but because you constantly say things in the likes of "That's subjective", "That's preference", or if you like more word for word "That's his opinion". Your tendency to do that makes me doubt your ability to judge for yourself given what you see. So what is your opinion of ergonomics Wii U controller versus Vita given the videos I gave you? You not addressing the actual point shows your lack of commitment to our discussion, and displays your disposition to contention.

Given everything brought up this far, his opinion sucks and is obviously full of bias

yeah because he said something unfavourable of the wii u... far be it from anyone to do sych a thing or gaming journalism will crash and burn.

You're terribly deluded. Read what I posted in the past FIFTEEN PAGES (exaggeration, fyi) of this damn thread. Then read bold-italics-underlined (I had to do the 3 due to your reading comprehension lackings), and understand. (You should know what I'm thinking of you right now, if you don't, you're even more exactly that).

I don't mind if something bad is said about the Wii U, I do it myself and other Nintendo fans do the same. I just don't like needless fodder propagated by trolls (the author of the piece).

In a context where we all look for facts and information, an unfounded opinion is not enough. Stop repeating that "it's his/her opinion" nonsense if you want to be taken seriously.

He is entitled to his opinion, but as a journalist or poster, all opinions need to have a rationale

so holding and experiencing a product doesn't count? ( assuming he did which is most likely )... how is his comment unfounded? 

I already explained this to you o_O.Q, open your ears. It is unfounded because he spoke contrary to his experience (assuming he did hold it). We know that's true because of the facts we've gathered this far. Either he lied, or he's biased (same diff), or he just used the wrong word. Maybe he meant "Not Sleek" and instead used "Bulky" as the antonym of "Sleek", in which case this debate revolves around colors and shapes and edges, rather than weight, dimensions and ergonomics.

EDIT: Here is the definition of sleek. 

sleek  (slk)

adj. sleek·er, sleek·est
1. Smooth and lustrous as if polished; glossy: brushed her hair until it was sleek.
2. Well-groomed and neatly tailored.
3. Healthy or well-fed; thriving.
4. Polished or smooth in manner, especially in an unctuous way; slick.

 

So not only is he an idiot if he meant bulky, but he would even be an idiot if he meant "not sleek" and said bulky instead as an antonym to sleek. Are you sure you want to continue defending his position, I'm not sure that is to your advantage...
