Another opinion on the internet. Hasn't it run out of room for these yet?

 

That's the beauty of the internet. There's always more room.

It's like a toilet that you never have to flush!

LOL That so needs to be on one of those Demotivational Posters

I wasn't sure about the article until I saw two grammar errors in the first paragraph. Then I was sure.

I don't think I've ever seen a winning console gathering too much hate like the Wii. Nintendo definitely changed things and the old geek gamers can't deal with it, like the dude from this article:

If people prefers the xbox360/PS3 over the Wii, ok fine. That's just their tastes and that's something personal. But this guy it saying the same old song about "Nintendo has betrayed us blah blah blah they don't care about us anymore blah blah Microsoft does loves us so we should buy an xbox yadda yadda". Statementes that are nothing but gossips and lies just to creat fear and uncertainity amongts the nerd gamers out there that follows the game reviewers blindly and without any other kind of opinion or research.

I hope these kind of articles stop appearing. They are pathetic and too fanboyish. But I doubt it.

 

OMG, now THIS is pathetic, don't these people have something better to do than writing hateful articles about Wii?

i mean, this is overdone, if he doens't like Wii he can simply shut up and play his Xbox360...

this person is giving a horrible impression of core gamers...

 

well, many core gamers hate the Wii, but Wii should not really care, Wii are going to enjoy Dragon Quest X, MH3, new Zelda, Conduit, motion plus and a hell of other games, Wii has the best 2009 lineup and i'm very afraid that Wii Motion Plus will be double monsterous than Wii Fit and Mario Kart.....

i think it's time to change my sig, LoL!!

Defend the Wii as much as you want, but don't make claims that are just not true.

 



 

 

Why not just buy ANOTHER console, instead of selling one for another? This I never understood: Whats the point in selling the Wii? Is $250 really going to make you that much richer? What are you gonna do the day a great game for the Wii gets released? I own a ps3 and wii and Im very happy playing/switching between both Call of Duty and No More Heroes every other day.

Yea theres a slight drought for the Wii right now, but for crying out loud, if you owned a gamecube or a xbox, which had droughts for YEARS, this shouldn't even faze you.

You mean claims that cannot be validated either way yet. Or can i have the insight into the full, final 2009 lineups for all the consoles?

 



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Right, this article is trying to pass opinion as fact, just like countless other articles (on all sides) do. I can respect that the Wii is not for someone. However, to try to say that there are no hardcore games coming out in 2009 for it, and trying to "save" them by selling the Wii toward "its market" to get a 360 screams of ignorance and fanboyism.

As someone who's been gaming since the days of the 2600, I personally prefer the Wii for the current generation. Games are supposed to be fun. For me, the different ways of playing is fun; it prevents everything from feeling like the same old, same old. Other people prefer a graphics fest for immersion; that's fine, but it's not me. If you are having fun with your system, that's what matters. It'd be like someone saying "The PS3's sales were down this holiday season, so it's dead!" or "The 360's sales have died in Japan, so no more good Japanese games will be made for it!" Who cares? You bought it to have fun (I hope), and that's what you're doing (I hope). Besides, if you're that easily influenced, I think there's other issues at hand...

Go dunno001!

this is much more pleasant to read than a stupid article trying to convince you to buy Xbox360

 Wrong, the Wii's lineup is the best, for some people, like myself, which is why I have no desire to buy a PS3 or a 360.

 

Now best is a subjective opinion, I may feel the Wii's lineup is the best while you may not, neither person is right or wrong.



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Wow, it's avinash.

I haven't seen your Wii loving ass in ages.
