We all had our fair share of trolling. I was making personal attacks.

 You were trolling, and defending your view with extremely biased opinions does not make a cogent argument.

OT:  Great publicity for the site.  Keep up the great work!

 umm.. my argument stated the same the entire way through. My opinion will always stay the same. I love Nintendo but right now their main focus isn't gaming, it is selling the Wii as everything else but a game system. Thats how I see it and I'm sticking to it.

BTW, I wasn't getting "riled up," I have been smiling the entire discussion due to the fact I was enjoying it.

 I've owned every Nini system to date. My opinion is not biased, its my view, I have no bias against Nini, well past Nini, current Nini are getting a bit questionable.

You don't have to be a Nintendo hater to have a biased view here.  Your bias is torward Wii Fit.  I'll clue you in here since you don't get it.  Exercise can be fun.  Some people really do enjoy this stuff, and most games outside of video gaming are indeed means of exercise.  All Nintendo is doing is bridging a gap, and those who enjoy Yoga, jogging, etc. can do it having fun in front of an interactive instructor and do it competitively.

I truly don't understand the mentality here that something different has to be so threatening.  It's a breath of fresh air is what it is and a sign that there is more for gaming to expand on besides becoming psuedo interactive movies.

"The Wii-Fit"

Well, even using the word "the" in front of it gives more credibility to this vid than the NYT article.

Speaking about the video though. Didn't they make it sound like it was it's own system with "Will their be problems like their were with the original wii."

I feel that the gaul of Nintendo fanboys and their increasing elitist attitude has rubbed a lot of PS3/360 fans the wrong way recently, and they feel the need to lash out at individual fanboys. Basically, it's overcompensating due to anger, imo.

SSJ12, you know as well as we all do that "I love Nintendo but just hate the Wii cause of its direction" is foeboy talking point number one, in their attempts to prevent their opinions from being marginalized due to percieved bias.

Now, subcosciencially a lot of the time, I hate on the PS3. I don't mean to be a PS3/360 foeboy, but I just have never been a big sony/ms fan, and the PS3 fanboys can sometimes really get on my nerves with their Nintendo flames(as Nintendo fanboys can with their sony flames) and I really love my Wii. We all know you are quite fond of HD gaming, and who can blame you, I know I can't.

So, when you come out with this, frankly, offensive argument against a game and a company that we all know and love, which is a very generic argument fyi, right off of Wii bingo in face, and then claim that you really love Nintendo, it's just their recent direction, and it has nothing to do with your love of the PC and PS3 and your lately consistant claims that Nintendo fanboys need to shut up and know PC owns them.

....well what do you expect us to think about that?

It all comes down to the fact that the Wii is the leading console of this generation. Everyone who doesn't absolutely love the thing, will hate it. Simply, because it's talked about all the time, consistantly in every form of media, while the PS3 and 360 are often only mentioned in article related to the Wii, or when someone describes the Wii's competition, from a mainstream viewpoint.

Certainly, everytime an article focused on the PS3 or 360 is written, the Wii gets a mention in that article.

It's easy to get sick of something you don't particularly care for, especially when it's the dominant competition for something you do.

Let me give my opinion right now:

Wii Sports is not a "tech demo."

Wii Sports is the most important hardware seller of this generation, and has probably sold more consoles than all other games this generation combined.

It's actually quite a fun game for a while.

Nintendo shouldn't be "called out" for making it, as it's quite important and well designed, particularly from a controlling standpoint.

To call Wii Sports a mistake of any kind, in any way, ever, is an exersize in folly and I think you realize this.

Wii Fit, dunno much about it. :P

did you forget I owned a Wii....

I don't, lol. Lucky!

I'm just saying though, man nobody is unbiased, I loved Wii Sports, and I think it's a pretty good game, and certainly millions more do too, so I get offended when you say that Nintendo could be tarred and feathered for having the gaul to develop it.

PS: I traded my Wii for a Xbox 360, but will be buying another Wii for ToS2.
