It would appear that ssj12's well meaning submission to the New York Times is too little, too late. I therefore present to you the first in what will no doubt be a long series of poorly thought-out articles, emphasizing every myth that the Wii's bashers are so desperate to believe. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes upon what next week will bring you! Behold the source material for a new Wii Bingo board! Watch in amazement as arguments you thought were dead and buried rise from their rotted graves, smellier and more suspect than ever before!

Here, you shall find the fallacies of the New York Times article regurgitated in expanded form, with a twist: now its written by a columnist who at least pretends to care about the industry. That's right folks, no blaming this one on the ignorance of the mainstream media. In addition, we have the old "3rd party games don't sell" theory, using No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki as the sole examples, while highlighting the third party successes as anamolous because they are proven franchises.

But wait, there's more! Not content with that, or with the "casuals only play Wii Sports" statement (yes, folks, it's there in all its glory!), this article goes all the way and says that the Wii is not two, not three, but one count 'em ONE Gamecube, presumably wrapped in duct-tape! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why a grown man would ever embarass himself in front of millions of strangers like this. Get it while it's hot!

Edit: Um...yeah, the link doesn't seem to be working if you click on it, but it does if you copy and paste. No idea what's wrong. Boy do I feel embarrased...

Editing the edit: And now it seems to be fine again. Karma, you're a total b****... 

link doesn't give any article...

That's it. I'm a making an archive for Anti-Wii week. There's just too many people making ass of themselves by parroting that poor NYT article, this phenomenom needs to be captured and preserved for VGC users new and old.

 Ah, thanks for the heads up. It was working fine when I tested it, but...? I'll try to see what's wrong.

Remove the %A0 at the end of the link.

It rather pathetic that an industry 'expert' has to regurgitate the sales fall 90% crap, when it happens to the majority of every major release.

then suddenly the nintendo fanboys and the bandwagon fanboys attack.  i am running away before this gets ugly.

 Could you? That'd be awesome. It'll be like VGChartz's version of the Lincoln Memorial.

"Daddy, what's that"

"That, son, is to commemorate the week that the Wii's sales were misrepresented in the New York Times. Shortly thereafter, the internet exploded with the force of ten million fanboys' pent-up rage."

Refuting obviously false and misleading statements is not an attack.

Anti-Wii week really is in full form now. gotta love how no matter how much it is bashed wii keeps selling.

The progression of wii bashing = 3 GCN's - 2 GCN's - 1 GCN's - 4 N64's - .5 N64's - 1.3 NES's - .5 Atari 2600's

LULZ i love idiots

This week is going to be fun! Just imagine how riled up the poor gamespot system wars users are going to get!
