Youre just not casual enough and neither are most of the 'old gamers'. Its casual time! MS & Sony probably will follow the steps of mighty wii in next gen. Thats gonna be fun...

I was kinda making a Jehovah's Witnesses joke.
My jokes have really been falling on their faces lately!

Nintendo's strategy is "short term"? Bull. Where the hell do they have any basis, save for a slow release quarter? And who's really short term are all the developers going for huge release months to get sales up front.
Capcom's been enjoying money for months from games selling steady on the Wii, DS, and PSP (those Monster Hunter games have some pretty good legs as well).
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

In your case it involves a natural 20 and a Sony Defense Force modifier
Prognosis is pretty bad

Click on them to find the dates, I'm tired of doing your research for you
Oh, and the Pikmin GC port
Oh, and wiiware games.
Just because you haven't played them, doesn't mean they aren't good.
Anyway, the Wii doesn't need the gaming media, it did well without them in its first 2 years anyway

The "hardcore" users (the ones who buy a lot of software) are incredibly alienated in favor of the "casual" users (who traditionally don't buy much software). The general disinterest of Wii owners in the vast majority of 3rd party software has basically forced 3rd party publishers to put out lots of low-risk shovelware and give their better efforts to PS3 and 360. It's ironic that the hardcore gamers who kept Nintendo afloat during the N64 and GC years are the ones being cast aside in favor of people who've rarely if ever picked up a controller before now and don't know Nintendo from their rear-endo. |
YTD software sales in Americas (note that the Wii started the year off with a smaller install base than the 360):

I think these people are just angry that Nintendo is proving that they aren't as important as they think they are. Odd that "abandoning the hardcore" has allowed Nintendo to soar to greater heights than ever before. The more they cry, the more irrelevant they look.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing

Except really you're comparing only the Xbox 360 and the Wii, since Fallout 3 for example isn't on one platform but its on the other then you have to list it. Furthermore if you decide to take that stance further it indicates support for the position that the Wii needs another platform for us core gamers otherwise we wouldn't be getting enough and then you can take the whole single platform exclusive idea to its logical conclusion.
The Wii is a mainstream console
The Xbox 360 is the mainstream development console.
(Note mainstream has a different meaning for both)
Tease.
