Sigh, poor EGM.

I just heard Dan Hsu say that the Wii would be Nintendo's greatest failure, and Brian Intihar say that the Wii's lineup makes him sick (yes, sick) and that he's so thankful for Sony and Microsoft.  

I had always been slightly bothered by the fact that they are supposedly a hub for "Electronic Gaming" but never covered PC gaming and only gave lipservice to handheld gaming. Now, they seem to be further narrowing heir focus and becoming a magazine largely focused on HD consoles. Which might be fine if print was a healhty medium, but I doubt EGM is in a financial position to be alienating the fastest growing segments of the gaming population (handheld and casual gamers). 

I used to love EGM, but it's become apparent that as I've gotten older and matured that my tastes continue to diverge from theirs. They seem to be stuck in the college-age, "just a bunch of guys hanging out, drinking beer and having fun" mentality to me. 

I subscribe to EGM.

they are talking about how around this time last year ps3 was was "failing" and after the 1 year "anniversary" of thier cover story... that '08 is make or break for ps3.

I could type exactly what they said but ill just put it in my own words^

"just a bunch of guys hanging out, drinking beer and having fun" mentality to me. -Bod

Wow, you must think im a fucking moron then.

Big difference in what I expect from friends and what I expect from professional critics doing their job, Weez. 

I remember when EGM had "BATTLESTATION" on the cover with a pic of a Ps3 with a tomato splattered on it.........I hate EGM, but for some reason the damn mag doesnt stop coming, I thought my subscription ended a year ago, lol.

double post......my bad.

@ bod-- heheh whew. :)

I respect bod so much that I acually care what he thinks of me.

LOL that is funny right?

Bod 4 Prez!!

@Bod

thats VERY unprofessional; if they said that about the wii...

But as for their cover, i must agree PS3 is having a in a way a revenge towards the bad press & barrage of 10 million M$ fanboys that didn't stop insulting it since the word GO!

The thing with EGM is they aren't professionals but more so gamers.

 Hey bodhesatva, do you mind giving me your autograph? Post of the day for me.

I actually like EGM. They have some good stuff. I might pick this Tuesday when I get DMC4.
