It's actually a fact, the majority of Wii owners don't need a harddrive, and will never download enough crap to fill up the space already on their Wii's to begin with.
Do any of you really believe that's not true?
As for dtwei, Nintendo is working on a solution, or so they say, calling Nintendo stupid? Honestly, I don't see how you came to that conclusion. I for one don't think your argument holds water, and on top of that, what are we supposed to think about you when you call Nintendo's marketing and PR "stupid" but defend Sony's or Microsoft's? Aren't they really the "stupid" ones from a business perspective, if anyone is?
The decision to lower the storage in the Wii is obviously to keep the cost of the console down. I think that worked pretty well.
And when 75 percent of the Wii userbase has absolutly no need for any additional space, and when Nintendo says that in a Press Release, right alongside the other thing they say, which is "We're working on it for the other 25 percent though, just to keep them happy," I don't see where you get "stupid" from.
Sounds like the average internet argument that had about 10 seconds of thought put into it, which resulted in a really offensive, generic, and ironic post.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
