It's not nice to ban people just because they have a difference of opinion. But I guess power corrupts. In any case while I agree that the thread title was worded somewhat misleadingly I don't think it warrants a ban of any kind. Just my 2 cents.


 Who got banned for a misleadingly worded thread title?

Hmm ok so a console that has graphics on par with first generation xbox and that might be considered good for the years 2001-2002 is going to be "industry standard" for years to come? well god save us all is all I can say. Ever heard of HDMI, blue ray, HD-DVD? Forgive me for not being a Wii-fanboy, I really like playing that console with friends but there is nothing industry standard setting without the motion sensing technology it uses and the fact that it is attracting the casual crowd. But of course if the emphasis is to be only on party games and standing up swinging our arms then it sure is the most innovative product of all time.


Technology wise, I doubt the wii will be the industry standard. Control wise I hope it will be.

Here in Norway (and other Nordic countries), Wii's are abundant, as are 360 elite's.

it wasn't corrupt. he attacked shams and called him a troll.

in real world: what happens when you attack a police officer ?

 Oh boy if we have to ban everyone who said something like that to other mods we will lose hundreds of members.

The police officer will pray that he may survives it. =).

 And that would be bad?



I still say those not finding Wiis are muhc more likely to pick up a DS than a PS3/360 and wait to get a console. The DS compliments the Wii, has similar gamplay/audience, and is still a mass mrket pricepoint. Never forget it is the most popular gaming system.



Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.

*naznatips is exempt

some of u guys still don't get it

to the majority of potential wii purchasers, 360/ps3 are not substitutes whatsoever...they don't even consider buying a 360/ps3

GAMERS will consider all 3...non-gamers will only buy a wii...u can't play wii games on 360/ps3...u can't use motion controls on 360/ps3...u can't get wii fit on 360/ps3...they are simply NOT substitutes, just like Barnum and Bailey Circus is not a substitute for Cirque du Soleil

SOME people who can't find a wii will buy a 360/ps3 just to put a console under the tree, but that won't be the norm...that will be the parents of GAMERS...kids who want a new game console...most of the people looking for the Wii are not gamers

once u understand the difference, u will see why Wii will sell unprecedented numbers over the next few years



Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07  CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp

see you can attack and not be a dick about it--which griff wasnt

I would like to thank most of you who posted normal stuff in this thread, unlike shams and his wii troll bandwagon friends who troll all the threads.

Look who's talking about trolling...oh the irony!
