Wii Fit + Rock Band Wii = Death of "revenue" argument for 360 apologists

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.

 Indeed.

 The idea that it's 'smarter' for a Wii owner to pay $500 to get Rock Band with online play and the option to spend more money on DLC is laughable. 

X360 will probably remain the biggest platform for Rock Band sales, but I don't think Harmonix will regret bringing the title to Wii at all.
