Wii - 50 million software in 18 months (US)

[Smeags]

Thanks for bringing this over Grampy, some good stuff right there.

Yeah, Wii has definitely been on a trail few would have imagined. I mean, the success is incredible and it's only getting bigger from here. And yet, some (repeat: not all, now a days I feel like I have to be specific for fear that everyone will start sending me hate mail) gamers have been "threatened" by this new direction. And for some odd (and unfortunate) reason they feel the need to fight back. It's a shame really, why not just sit down, play some Boom Blox, and have fun? Do you really need 720p to enjoy a game, or have surround sound to put a smile on your face? These hard(ly)core gamers who constantly barrage the Wii and Wii owners with these baseless "facts" and theories need to think about why they play games, and what Wii means to the continuation of video games.

I'm not saying that they can't enjoy their PS3 or 360, there are some great games on those systems and they're a blast to play. But why go out of your way to target Wii? It really doesn't make any sense, just enjoy your games and realize that you are not the center of the universe.

Oh, and Wii owners, the no trolling rule goes to you as well. Except for Rubang, he can do whatever he wants.
