Someone should make a "The Wii is Doomed article collection thread" where they keep links to all the Doomed articles...

That's a really good idea. someone should really make one so that we could see exactly how many Wii is doomed "analysis" that can be crammed into one list.
(I'm too lazy to do it though)
I LOVE ICELAND!
Casual games want cheaper prices but want to spend more money. Yeah right.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

How well has the PSP worked to kill the DS? How much of the DS's audience has the Apple actually stolen? The Wii is underpowered, but it has already been let out of the box. Natal and Arc simply won't be able to compete with the Wii's software dominance. People aren't going to upgrade to Arc or Natal for the same kinds of casual experiences that are already available on the Wii. X-box, especially, doesn't have the decades long backlog of software titles that they can draw from that Nintendo does. Casual gamers have already flocked to the Wii. Natal and Wand might be able to sell a few units via their hardcore exclusives, but they will never be able to capture Wii's momentum especially mid-generation. People aren't going to buy an Arc just so they can play a PS3 version of EA Active or Just Dance. Wii just had a pricecut in November. They are doing just fine. They just need more popular software releases to carry their momentum forward. Arc and Natal don't have an answer for SMG2, the new Zelda, Wii Fit, and New Super Marios Bros. |
100% agree. The original always stays on top.
Are gaming analysts ALL retarded?

There they are. All of them.

Oh, for Pete's sake...... |
Yeah, the bolded really does bely the huge error he is making. If they weren't able to make games good enough to compete with Nintendo, just what makes him think their games will be good enough to drive hardware adoption? It's nonsensical, he's basically admitting that they're crap but simultaneously expecting the games to be desirable. The only explanation is that the guy is a complete birdman, or he's a shill.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
This is insane. I seriously suspect that this guy is on someone's payroll. I mean, what could be gained from predicting that Nintendo is going to be usurped in the handheld arena, will decline in the console arena, and will see its current audience move to its competitors?
It's deliberate FUD. It has to be.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
More fanboy fotter and arguments from early 2008.
Will this ever get old?
Pixel Art can be fun.

It's not that simple for developers. They sunk all their investments into HD game development at the beginning of the generation, and were either unable or unwilling to change direction when the Wii suddenly seized the lead. The only remaining tool they had at their disposal was to attempt to convince the audience that HD was the way to go. To that end, industry developers, analysts and media alike built up a sense of elitism aimed squarely against the Wii, which only served to further alienate the 'core' gaming community from entrants coming from the larger market. The end result is that they can't support Nintendo this generation, because it would involve going back on their words (and by this point, it's too late for this generation anyway). Considering that they choked off any new blood from entering their market segment, this will result in the destruction of many third parties, and a drastic swing in the long term balance of power of the console wars back in Nintendo's favour as new developer entrants are heavily restricted by the ever-increasing cost of entry to the gaming market, and the survivors attempt to recover from this generation. In that, it matters little for Nintendo if third parties never figure it out.
