Wow.
I personally don't care about revenue. I think its a dumb stat because it just reflects price. But I think its funny to watch the evolution of defenses of the XBox business. As a business, it has failed, and revenue numbers are just spin.
Going to the "why do you care defense?" is lame. As a gamer, I don't care. I'll play what I like. As an industry observer, its fun to debunk spin, and funner to predict when spin will change in the future.
Talking about "casual victories" or game quality or condescendingly repeating my first name or saying that anyone who buys RB Wii is a "fanboy" or "stupid" is all garbage. It has nothing to do with anything.
Now, if you want to make the argument that RB Wii won't sell well, go ahead. I personally think the core of the experience is partying with friends, and that experience will sell on Wii, and contribute greatly to revenue.
