What was so offensive about my comment?

This also assumes that PS3 sales will dramatically increase. That may or may not happen. I think that the Wii could get to about 60% at most in NA, with 360/PS3 at 40%/10% respectivily. If the Wii keeps outselling both and gets more games that will help it sell more so it just spirals upwards. And the gap between the 3 will widen, already Wii is outselling PS3 and 360 combined by a considerable margin. WW will be even better for the Wii since 360 and now PS3 are tanking in Japan. Europe is a wildcard, so we will see. Also as for lifespan, what if the PS4 and Xbox720 come out in 5 years and Nintendo says they are keeping the Wii going for another 3-5 years. They would have a huge install base that the competitors would never be able to make up and most games would be on the Wii, even multiplatform which would cancel out any graphical improvements. Or what if the Wii is expandable. You buy an addon that gives more CPU/GPU/RAM for the system to use (kinda like that memory card addon for N64). They could sell that for $100 or something. I don't know if that is even possible but if it is the Wii could be around for a long time.

Wii is overrated IMO and its chances are overestimated.

The fact that you are calling people who buy a Wii stupid. It seems that you believe that the 35 million that are expected to buy these Wii's, thus Nintendo getting a 40% market share in the US, are stupid. I find that very offensive. You could have just said "ITs not gonna happen". You dont have to be insulting.

Yeah. That would have been a better expression of your opinion. I tend to think that each of the console will be about even, with around 30% shares each.

I think a better question would be, what part of your comment wasn't negative and offensive?  Express your opinions but leave name calling and childish behaviour at the door.

As for the article, I see no reason based on current sales that this guy couldn't be right.  I don't think you have to have a "wait and see" attitude to predict that the wii is doing very well and considering how much the industry has grown since the NES days, I don't see why they couldn't reach those sales levels or higher.  Not like he was claiming that the Wii was going to crush all opposition with 60-70% market share.

Dear Wii Owners, I didn't realize mere words could cause such anguish. In the future I will refrain from calling you stupid. It was wrong and I apologize. :)

Thank you for apologizing to them. Please feel free to dislike the Wii, that's not a problem at all. You're welcome to your preferences, and I'm sure we'd love to hear them on this site. Just don't call Wii owners stupid or any other perjorative in the process, please.

I'm not a Wii owner, by the way. If you're willing, I'd suggest going here: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=2397

Obviously it's not perfect, but it's nice if we all try to be nice to each other, at least. I know tempers can get heated. I'm really looking forward to Trusty Bell, btw.

Trusty Bell. Such a nice sounding name.

I think he was mocking us Bodhesatva...oh well, yet another person to write off and ignore. Based on the user name, I would assume he's been banned already at least once so don't expect anything positive from him.
