Gawd the casual gamer shit is annoying now. I dont wanna work out in a video game. hell its not even a new idea as the eyetoy had a fitness game on the ps2. nintendo showed us 4 games that we all saw coming that hardcore gamers are interested in. yet the damn news cares only about the crap Wii fit. casual people go to the damn gym or watch fitness videos so they need to spin that damn into a real nintendo game.

 what is the difference to: Singstar, buzz, eye toy? Sony started the train and left the field open for Nintendo. So mayby you shouldn't be that hard on Wii Fit. Also I want that game

To non-hardcore gamers, every FPS shooter looks the same.

Lol I'm a hardcore gamer and most FPS's I've seen and played are kind of the same.

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

For once I actually agree with the mainstream liberal press!

As soon as I started reading some of the comments during the show, I quickly realized it was pointless trying to convince people anything. They had their minds up made before the conference even started and nothing was going to change it.

It was the last straw and I've decided never to debate certain people on the forum simply because they are incapable of considering another person's viewpoint.

I think its stupid, just dumb that the press would be so negative towards sony and microsoft, the best show was sony's end of the line, just cuz nintendo announced a balance board that can detect your movement doesnt mean OH DEAR GOD NINTENDO KILLED EVERYONE!! I think they are saying that to hype the wii more and just cuz wii has the hihgest sales.
