When you get to see the reviews you will see objective assessments and you won't have someone who isn't interested in Wii Fit reviewing it, this was to discuss their opinion of what the companies are doing.

The same people talking, in this shot right now -- are the reviewers! I've seen each and every one of them review DS and Wii games in the past, as well as 360 and PS3 games. These aren't separate bubbles.

If you objectively believe that Nintendo did a worse job -- if their presentations were weak or mishandled, if you don't believe their strategy will be succesfull -- then that is good journalism. If you feel that Nintendo did a bad job because you simply don't like non-hardcore gamers, that is poor journalism.

You can rest assured that a person who doesn't like a certain type of game doesn't review it. I thought you could have figured this out on your own. It's pretty logical :)

Except I've seen Ryan O'Donnel review Wii games! I've seen him specifically say: "I don't like the Wii." Here you go:

Episode 74. Right at the beginning, point blank, he says: "I don't really like the Wii." And yet he's in there reviewing Wii games in several shows (he also states that he doesn't like the DS in episode 62) . Heck, he's reviewing Nintendo's press conference in the very show we're discussing! 

As I've said already, that's obviously legal, and may even be profitable, but it's terrible journalism.
