Wii is doomed.

good to know man. can we move on? ;)

Where would the fun be if we didn't continue repeating very weak arguments?

It's domed like the PS3 and 360!

if you want to enjoy a game console and call them all a success go play games.

if you want to critique game consoles sales and predict impending doom post on vgchartz.

the line has been drawn now pick your side.

I don't mind when individual forum members call doom on a platform, but I hate it when so called 'professionals' claim a platform is doomed

Individuals love drama and controversy. Nothing stirs up drama, controversy, and comments like a post on "Wii iz Domed!" or "After the Financial Failure of the PS3, do you think Sony will repeat the same mistake with a PS4?"

Same goes for the off-topic forums where posts on controversial news items and any post promoting atheism or attacking religion draws pages upon pages of comments with multiple, in thread arguments between posters.

Like the accident on the side of the freeway, we all slow down to collectively participate individually by slowly watching the carnage and hoping or not hoping there is blood on the concrete.

Well I would say "No we should not talk about consoles as doomed" but its simply not true. What about the DreamCast I know Sega fans got really upset when people called it doomed they argued it was still selling software and a new GameGear was on its way to save Sega. Dillusional people said DreamCast couldn't die, yet by golly it did.

The same thing could have been said about the PS3, prior to price cuts and newer models the PS3 had a small edge to the DreamCast. It would have Dreamcasted as we call it these days if Sony didn't cut the price and release new models. Infact with the millions being lost thanks to price cuts it sort of is doomed.

Is the PSP doomed, now it is but its been five years and honestly it sold way superior to any other handheld that has ever taken on Nintendo. Was it doomed from the beginning? Depends on what you mean by doomed, doomed to fail at uprooting Nintendo? , Doomed to fail as a platform? Doomed to fail with third party sales?

In a way each console is doomed, the Wii is doomed when it comes to getting third party support, X-360 is doomed to second place in the console war, PS3 is doomed to undersell PS2 or PSP.

The second we deny any faults in our favorite platforms is the day this forum needs to shut down. Because lets face it, this is VGChartz and talking doom and gloom sales figures is completely ordinary infact its what this forum does best. Discussing which ways our platforms are doomed helps us to better understand the industry.

If we don't beat Michael Pachter at his own game who will? Isn't that what this site is all about?

I miss your doomed meter.
