kingofwale, you forgot to add the part where you say "in my opinion", when something is a fad people do the ultimate thing, they assess value, how they do this is by measuring quality and use - then here comes that ultimate thing I was talking about: The sum the value up from the above two and invest money into that "fad".

In otherwords more people think the Wii is worth more than the PS360 strictly from the sales numbers.

Note: I'm not saying PS360 is worth less - like wise the PS360 is worth err wait nvm.. those guys keep asking for price cuts >.>

 

Well, the topic did mention "think".. so I assume it was a place where people can express their opinion freely...

I suppose I forgot the part where it said "If you don't agree with Wii being awesome, we will bite your head off".

 

Yes, my opinion is of my own, and I stand by it. Do NOT put words in my month, especially you know that people bought Wii out of hype. I'm not saying Nintendo doesn't deserve all the money (in fact, I think they deserve every penny), but if you just look at Wii itself, it does not deserve the sales number it's enjoying right now.

in fact, nothing deserves still be selling out close to 2 year anniversary.


I did later say "rhetoric" meaning if you said it was in your opinion enough maybe someone would have gotten the drift that it was in your opinion those statements you made.

Whatever floats your boat, I'm sure you have a reason to say the Wii hardware doesn't deserve those numbers but hey, the ultimate voice in the end is the money and it's much louder than anyone here. Speaking of which I made more money last year than Sony or Microsoft in their gaming branches.

Finally since when is it that you a person can't defend their opinion? You put it out there because you just wanted it out there? If that's the case then you shouldn't respond. I put mine out there so I can get feed back... not saying you should do as I do.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Yes, I think it's a fad, because I think it's doing better than it really deserves to. Same reason I think Ipod is a fad.

How do you come to this conclusion? Nintendo made a brilliant business decision and are seeing the rewards. It deserves every sale it gets.

 

"I don't like it, so it shouldn't sell well. It is selling well. Therefore, it is selling better than it really deserves to."

C'mon Whatever, you gotta keep up with the program, man!

Dude he makes a pretty good point. I actually agree with him, why?
i have 4 friends with a nintendo wii. nothing wrong with that.
From those 4 only 1 still plays it and has more games then wii sports. Thats the problem with the wii and i think thats what kingofwale means, the thing sells because people see wii sports and want to play it. nothing wrong with that but its nothing to like if you're gamer you want to see games played;)

K well I have 4 friends with Wiis who play Brawl religiously, and have several other games.  Only one of those friends has any other console (one Xbox 360).  So... what?  Call my evidence anecdotal if you want, but six out of our combined nine players (myself included) play tons of Wii games.  What was your argument again?

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I'm always pretty cycnical. It's just that I'm "deemed" a Sony fan because whenever I complain about SOny, everybody agrees with me.

No, you are deemed a Sony fan because you have been repeatedly warned and/or banned (and rightly so) for posting negative comments about Nintendo or Microsoft related products. How often have you been warned or banned for bashing Sony? Probably never.

 

well, let's be fair, who here has EVER been banned for posting negative comments about Sony??

Hands up???

Yes, I think it's a fad, because I think it's doing better than it really deserves to. Same reason I think Ipod is a fad.

This. Actually, truth be told, I can't stand floor lamps. They're just gimmicks compared to the overhead light. Floor lamps are fads.

 

 

did I say anything about me "can't stand"? or the fact it's "gimmicky"???

All I said was, it is doing better than it deserves to be. hence, the sales is not driven by quality, but by hype. Same goes with boybands and ipod

 

Question. Is the Playstation 3 doing better or worse than it "deserves" to do, according to your preception?

Question 2. Did Nintendo make a mistake, taking a chance at making a change in gaming?

Question 3. Is the DS also doing better than it deserves to be doing?

Question 4. Are you biased against the Wii or the DS for any reason, or are you biased for Sony?

Question 5. Do you believe that gaming is a fad?

Question 6. Did you think the Wii WOULD be a fad early on, and in that meaning, did you think its sales would die off rather quickly?

 

@OP

The answer to your question, you already wrote in your topic called, "Why do we hate n00bs on the internet" or some such jargon. Found here:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=32501

Answering questions like "Yes the Wii is a fad no matter how much it sells" is why.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Rock & Roll, just a fad.

Well, actually, if Miyamoto dies while reading about the Shroud of Turin on the toilet, I'll feel really bad.



See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.
