"the Wii is a toy, not an entertainment focused product."

So, then, what's a toy?

Yes, like all those millions of Need For Speed Underground players on PS2 were gamers.

I know a girl that had a PS2 with 3 NFS games.... that was it.

At least 1 of them was a decent one though..... but then Wii Sport > any NFSgame anyday (hell Wii Play is better than some of the recent ones)

Similarly, a number of the PS2s I have seen "in the wild" (not necessarily friends, but I have been to some parties and one of my flatmates had a friend bring one over) have basically been either FIFA/PES playing machines... or Buzz/Singstar/Eyetoy machines (though I quite enjoyed a couple of eyetoy games, so nothing against that) which are also only brought out at parties and similar events. In fact I only know 1 person (in real life) who actually has a relatively diverse (well not as diverse as i would go for, but more than 2 genres and at least 10 games) PS2 game collection.

Agree. The ps2 had great games but most people who owned it were already casual gamers....just they weren't called like that at the time.

Above: still the best game of the year.

I'm glad he's a former employee. I'm proud of DICE and I don't want them to be tainted by such "hardcore" idiots. He is part of the disease, not Wii.

 

Oh, how I wish to have DICE make a Wii game! That would blow this guy to smithereens.

he'd probably have a meltdown of IGN magnitude :D



I LOVE ICELAND!

Aww how cute.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

It's DICE. It's just like all those negative comments we've seen come from iD or Epic. They're the companies that have absolutely nothing to gain from Wii's existence, and thus might cultivate the assumption that they have something to lose from Wii's existence (real or imagined)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
