Yeah, I saw that.  We will see in another year if that holds up.

Yeah, and Swilinski is over there now deleting each and every comment that makes mention of him eating crow or deleting comments.  I've had 5 deleted already and seen a bunch of other folks who called Swilinski/Joystiq out have their comments deleted too.

 

Why don't you guys try it out? Post on Joystiq and mention "deleting comments" and "crow" and watch it get deleted.  Fun!  This is a new low for Joystiq.

I saw it happen. Pity I didn't take page archives, though. Today, joystiq fails hard. I expected their users to be the ones backpedalling, not the author himself!

A post author is deleting comments he doesn't like? He should just grow a thicker skin or find a job where he doesn't have to deal with people on the internet.

EDIT: Not that you can't delete comments at all, but that would be for genuine trolling, not this.

Ubisoft said there's a Prince of Persia game on the Wii in development now in an official statement (click on the first blue text in the post you quoted:

"Representatives from Ubisoft confirmed today that "A game based on the popular Prince of Persia franchise is one of many titles Ubisoft has in development for Nintendo's Wii. At this time we can not provide an official date for the game or any additional information about it."

The one that I'm becoming less and less certain about is I Am Alive. I remember reading an official statement on the matter, but I can't find it anymore.

Is that the KingofWale from here?

Haven't they learned from other websites?  The best thing to do is let the people do their thing...  I don't know how Joystiq and Kotaku stay so popular.

At least IGN and Destructoid let you dis them... heck at Destructoid often (and IGN sometimes), the editors will outright join in on the fighting and bullying - even on eachother.

Hey, VGChartz mods and contributors are lively, too.  No wonder why I like this site.

(Note: The fact that I like the rules/mods/editors doesn't mean I agree with them.  Also, I still hate the IGN Wii Podcast. They talk out of their ass to much.)

 

@steven: I believe their popularity is based on the bashing/flaming you see there. The "hardcore" finds its likes there.
So it's not that much about the site itself, but the generic, ignorant userbase.

You always make me feel like I am to quick to hit the "post button"... I like you.

Kyros said: We didn't say Third-party games do not sell on the Wii. We said GOOD third-party games do not sell on the Wii. Nobody questioned that gaming pearls like Mario&Sonic or Carnival Games were selling like hotcakes. (I mean of course you could say that there are not many good third-party games on Wii but that's a hen&egg problem)

 

Mario & Sonic was a pretty damn good game.

What "good" 3rd party game has launched on the Wii and bombed off the face of the planet?

RE:UC, Zak and Wiki and NMH have all done fine, especially considering that two of them were new franchises and weren't heavily advertised.

If you are content with Mario&Sonic you should consider buying a second gaming system .



Yes but apparently doing "fine" is the best the Wii can do. It simply doesn't have any third-party blockbusters apart from its core audience (sport games, music games, mini games) I am not saying that this is bad mind you and this audience clearly is much bigger than the people who want to play the next GTA, Gears, Bioshock on HD consoles. But it's library is terrible in a wide area of game types and this will not change in the mid future.
