why would you post a biased article of just someone from somewhere on the web here?

i could care less about someone's prejudged opinion on this

look at what he says about ms
idiot



''Hadouken!''

ah bless,
Anybody think he's daft enough to actually believe that drivel or is he just making it up out of a sense of inferiority.
I did love 'Sony is smart not to rain on the Wii parade just yet, as that would just upset people' I have to say I think that is very civilized of them. Letting Nintendo take the first round just to make sure that the wii's early adopters dont get upset.

Bingo?



I have said for awhile that people who are claiming the Wii is a fad, and it will just disapear, don't really understand how fads for adults work ... They typically take 2 to 3 years to hit peak popularity because it takes a while for it to move from a subculture (gamers) to the more mainstream population; once it hits its peak it usually takes 5 or more years before it becomes 'lame'.

If the Wii is a fad you'd expect it to sell 60+ Million units over 2008 and 2009, and then follow that up with an additional 60+ Million units until the end of its life in 2012 or later.

That guy cannot write worth a damn. He needs to retake Comp 1.



Do you know how many of them are made a day. I can't even count them on one hand. It is getting ridicules and still has not show to be a fad. It has show to be the most popular system.



Funny article, and for the record when my friends leave...Yes I jump around my living room alone playing the Wii.

Fad...I think not.

 There are fads that can last for a while before they go, so really it's still way to early to say weather the will turn out to be a fad or not, just take hypsters, now that fad lastes years.



Wow i've heard some stupid fanboy anti-Wii rants in my time, but this one takes the cake
