I would love to see an interviewer show this article to Reggie, and see the reaction.

 And he'd probably say, "Well we would have actually done that back then, if we knew how profitable it would be."

 As for you, cklmb (does that stand for anything?), how many GC games did you buy? Yet even if you bought over 20 (as I did), you still have to acknowledge the low sales. If Nintendo is supposed to sell something, people have to buy it.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

The Nintendo Power one is very funny, but i agree RolStoppable, the Gamespot one is even better



steven787 on 27 July 2007

It is really funny, but Mommy and Daddy now, are the 8-15 y.o. reading it then.

(Example: Me)



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I'm really surprised Gamespot still hosts that article. They get so much crap for it seemingly every week.



BenKenobi88 on 27 July 2007

Wait...so that Gamespot article...were they kidding because they didn't believe the Wii (Revolution) would do well at all?

Oh man...I've totally forgotten about pre-2006 E3 hehe.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

tabsina on 27 July 2007

Yep Ben, they made an april fools joke revolving around the crazy idea that Nintendos new console had a chance to overtake in 2010!



PlagueOfLocust on 27 July 2007

Haha, eat crow Gamespot. Smartasses. Who's the April fool now?

@ckmlb - Yesss! You win the thread. Got me laughin' out loud at work... that Reggie reaction shot says it all and then some.

Prediction: Wii passes 360 in US between July - September 2008. (Wii supply will be the issue to watch, and barring any freak incidents between now and then as well.) - 6/5/08; Wow, came true even earlier. Wii is a monster.

 I knew Gamespot was biased against Nintendo, but that article is ridiculous isn't it?  I hope Nintendo completely rocks this generation till the end and forces them to fess up to their stupidity.  Read some of those comments, almost the entire site was biased.  Crazy.
