dont mistake internet press with real life press. The wii had much more attention as well as the PS2. Halo and call of duty games gets more attention than this in the real world as well. |
LOL! The Wii got more attention AFTER it released. It hardly got attention before that. And it got NONE before it was announced. In November you can make this claim but until then you need to admit the media attention of a date is great for the Ps4 than anything in recent years

Nah i hardly see it that way. If we are talking about before something even gets announced then sure. Every console that get's announced get's an insane amount of hype frp, the internet. just look at the WiiU, Vita, and 3DS. All trhee got an insane amount of hype and WiiU sold out of preorders in like a day etc but then when they came out they didnt sell that well and that is because beyond the internet people arent paying attention. As for an over all amount of media it would go to the Wii/PS2. This thread just goes into all the other let's hype up the PS4. Wait until about 6 months after it get's released and then we will come back to this conversation and you can tell me if it is or isn't. And the same thing will happen with the NeXbox announcement. Peopl;e will hype the shit out of it etc. This is nothing new with new consoles. The only difference is that they are teasing an announcement heavily rather than just announcing it so people are hyped about an announcement rather than the console it's self right now. Hell we dont even know one thing about it and people are making statements like this. It's called hype and nothing more. Of course internet websites willt alk about it. It brings traffic to there site O.O

How old are you because I think your memory from 7 years ago is a little fuzzy. The Wii was an unexpected hit. Why do you think Nintendo was so behind on meeting with demand? Why do you think their sales numbers were rather low for a huge success? It's because Nintendo didn't expect the massive sales they recieved. If the media was hyping the console all to hell like you claim and the pre launch hype was there in the "real word" why didn't Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft expect the Wii's sales? The media attention came upon release of the Wii when people were fighting each other to get the Wii. It came when people were camping in front of a store for 2 days for the next shipments. It came from the wii's shelves being empty for months on end with no sign of Nintendo being able to satisfy the demand.
