What?
the wii hasent even started any sales distribution networks or activites in countries like india which are just discovering causual gaming. i feel the wii has a long way to go before feeling any blues.
ah Bruceoncrack, that guy always cracks me up. If anyone calls him out he name drops his credentials to them:
person: "you sir are full of crap"
Bruce: "i'm sorry but I'm a veteran analyst...etc.."
his back must hurt from him patting it all the time
ok, 3 pages now, it seems I'm late, but whatever.
there's also this funny piece of news which fits the topic:
--
Screen Digest senior analyst Piers Harding-Rolls believes that some sections of the videogames industry are under greater threat from recession than others - particularly those which deal with "new, non-enthusiast" gamers that focus their attention on Wii and DS titles.
"These new, non-enthusiast and more mainstream console gamers view many Wii and DS games as experimental and discretionary luxuries," he said. "As the recession bites, Wii and DS games are likely to fall from the shopping lists of some of these consumers."
Sony too should be wary, says the analyst, due to the PlayStation 3's premium price point that's made it the most expensive console currently on the market.
"From a hardware perspective, Sony's PS3 console is relatively exposed on price, which may prompt price-sensitive traditional gamers to delay adoption of the platform until we see a substantial price drop."
However, Harding-Rolls was more positive about core gaming audiences, which he said were "relatively resilient to an economic downturn" thanks to "few financial responsibilities" and "a higher disposable income."
But despite that there was likely to be a medium term impact that would see "more risk-averse business practices" and "new and original IP projects" under pressure, leading to a lower level of innovation for consumers.
Echoing that last point Electronic Arts' CEO John Riccitiello recently claimed that while the company's new IP titles this year had reviewed strongly, sales weren't as high as they would have been had they formed part of an existing, well-known franchise.

So now anyone not praising wii for it's massive sales numbers is biased? |
Are you going to try and argue that BruceOnGames isn't biased?
Isn't bruceongames the guy who fled VGChartz because we actually had the data on hand to disprove his crackpot ideas?

Not really but he isn't the only one who thinks mainstream gaming will suffer much more than core gaming:

Hahahaha....
Ah man i forgot all about this guy. It's funny how blinded he is from reality despite him supposed to be an "Industry expert."
"Retail sales will fall heavily after X-mas" Really now?
Apparently Sony's stock is in a free fall because of the PS3! Not the currency change, and their expected losses... it's the PS3!
Also.... netbooks? WTF?

Yeah it was kinda sad. He'd post an arguement... people would cite all this data, and he'd be like
"But i'm right!"
To a bunch of people like me said "It's goood to do some research when you analyze something and have data to back up your opinions."
To which he pulled out data the SDF would be proud to own.
The guy is more clueless then the silent movie experts and stars who faded away at the start of the talkie era.
