I would say that his inability to see the Wii as being successful and in direct competition with the PS3 and XBox 360 is mainly because he refuses to see games outside of the most narrow definition of what appeals to him, and he fails to recognize advancement that doesn't fall into his shallow opinions of what improvement is. When you start to look at videogames in the broader sense, and look at how far the hardware technology has come from the Atari to the Wii, and then look at how little advancement has been made in the user interface from the NES to the XBox 360 it seems like it was about time to focus on something other than raw technical performance. |
Agreed. It's an elitist attitude that really gets under my skin. Not every game has to be blood, guts and boobs (not that there's anything wrong with boobs). I personally could care less about Carnival Games, NBA Live, Halo3 or lots of other games of different types. But I can appreciate that other people do enjoy them and I wouldn't fault them for it.
It's a very narrow-minded point of view to believe that just because a game doesn't interest you that it shouldn't interest anyone else.
