You do realize PS360 isn't a single console right?

Nintendo consciously ignored the rules and was rewarded for it -- twice! -- last generation. Who knows what the eighth generation will bring, but what you write isn't true at all.

Wii was "underpowered" and largely ignored by high-profile third-party developers. And yet it outsold Xbox 360 and PS3.

Why does Nintendo pain you so?

PS360 is not a single console, but they form a single market. You just have to make an exact port and have 140 million potential clients, none of which will feel like they are getting damaged goods. You can also add the PC crowd to it and the market grows even bigger.

Nintendo is choosing it's own path, it's Nintendo that ignores the mainstream, so the mainstream in response ingores Nintendo. If they are rewarded for it, then why do people complain? Why are you implying that Nintendo "pains" me? I'm just stating the facts and you're not even trying to challenge them, instead you're repeating what I've said and think that you made some kind of argument for yourself. Seems like you're the one in pain here.

Wii outsold competition hardwarewise. But when it comes to software it's no longer the case. The adoption rate on Wii is the worse out of these 3 consoles.

Which "people" are complaining? You? Your friends? Some members on this site? To which "facts" do you refer? The only numbers I saw in your original post was 140 vs. 100. Or, in simpler terms, 2 vs. 1. Which, incidentally, would serve as an appropriate title to this thread.

Here is a fact: Nintendo, against all odds and with inferior horsepower, won the previous generation. That's all I said in my post, which was meant to refute the falsehood in your own.

I don't know what will happen during the eighth generation. And neither do you.

Lastly, you have to get over this weird conviction that PS3, Xbox 360, and PC users are real, "mainstream" video game players, and Nintendo fans are not. Just because YOU do not like the direction Nintendo has chosen, it does not mean everyone does, or everyone should.
