An amusing article to post on an NPD day like this:

http://seekingalpha.com/article/77347-video-game-industry-one-of-the-most-attractive-areas-to-invest?source=yahoo

Key quotations:

The Nintendo (NTDOY.PK) Wii is not worth developing for. It is nearer the end of its life cycle than the other two consoles and it is mainly first party games published by Nintendo themselves that sell. Third party titles from other publishers are mainly low quality shovelware that have now frightened the consumer off.

The two handheld consoles, the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are also not worth developing for despite the immense numbers of these that have been sold. Quite simply, piracy has ripped the market up. Vastly more people will steal your game than will pay for it.

Objective analysis if I ever saw it. Have fun, guys.

Wii is not worth developing for. Only if you do not put some effort in. And i think we all know that good old brucie doesn't like the Wii. He must be sad after seeing the NPD data today. The Wii outold the PS3/360/PSP/PS2 all added together.

Who says this and where was I!?

Apparently the two best selling game consoles of all time aren't worth developing for.

I mean, seriously, stop the presses. The fad is over.

....however, by his logic, the PC isnt' worth developing for, and RE4 and GH3 never existed.

This foeboyism just continually tops itself week after week.

Well think about it from his perspective. He worked at codemasters like 10 years ago or whatever. Predicted that GTA4 would kill the Wii...

and then NPD came out.

Most people just can't admit when they are wrong and will run themselves into the ground by making dumber and dumber statements to fit their reality.
