| Stefan.De.Machtige said: One thing people seem to forget is that the wiimote was rejected by most of the gaming industry. Nintendo's bid to standardize it was not succesfull. The gamepad is a side track to the wiimote in a attempt to appease both industry and consumers. |
Very true, Rejected by the Gaming Industry (at their own peril) Wholly accepted by the masses. Nintendo's financials during the Wii's peak years were just incredible. Which means they were making the right decisions. The rest of the industry was bleeding money. Almost singlehandedly, Nintendo was creating growth for the entire industry which ironically was shunning it.
So Nintendo decides to appease the gaming industry, and thus begins a massive decline in sales and $.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
