I was half expecting this to be about Bruce. But the other half of me believes Bruce would never admit to being wrong.

The only thing that got my attention was the Wii in the bobble, I think it looks cool. Who cares what this guy thinks. I don’t care if he apologizes or not I don’t know him who is he? Don’t answer that.

It seems that the only way to get attention these days is to be a Wii hater… we should do just the opposite and ignore people like that.

hey he actuallly posted my comment..groovy

It can probably be considered trolling when you go into every single thread posting an article that says something blatantly ridiculous and stupid about the Wii, then agree to it just for the sake of hating on the Wii.

Grow up and pay attention to reality.

on topic: I noticed the bit about the Wii being out for 18 months by June '07, too. 18 months before June '07, Nintendo hadn't even announced the Wii's name yet.

Does posting on forums like this count as being a journalist?  If so, I have been a journalist for years.  

That was a good laugh.

Oh, wait. That was a serious article? =O

Aw, I'm sorry poor crying fanboy. Not everyone has the same tastes as you.

"Even after nearly two decades as a games journalist and 30+ years as a video game addict," - I wouldn't even have guessed he was alive for 30+ years. He can't even man up to a mistake without taking shots, at something he clearly doesn't understand, to make him feel better.

You pretty much nailed it. There is sort of a resignation of defeat attitude out there now, they'll half-heartedly give it accolades for its successes, and then go back to talking about the real console wars, PS3 vs 360

^Yup, they used to predict the bubble is about to burst.

Now, their opinions are like this: Wii wins, the population are stupid.

I still can't believe this was posted by Stephen Kent. I mean when it came to respectable gaming journalism, Stephen Kent was one of the best. I've just lost all respect for him after reading this. I posted a lengthy response to his blog, not that it will matter but I had to express my disappointment.

Kent Got Bent and Now He’s Spent!

Whata turd “I’m sorry that you’re dumb” Isn't this is more of a youa culpa than a mea culpa? How much do you wanna bet that he’ll restart his career in gaming journalism if the Wii starts to level off and the other consoles catch up or surpass it (as if). His constant flurry of backhanded complements is a testament to his journalistic integrity. I’m glad he pointed out that “Sports” is played heavily and it’s not the bundled drink coaster haters claim it to be. Douche chill wants to rename the Wii to WiiP well I’d like to rename it WhiiP as in WhiipA$$ on the competition. Misprediction is just a nice way of saying WRONG but what a wonderful swan song all the same.

The silver Swan, who living had no Note,
when Death approached, unlocked her silent throat.
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
thus sang her first and last, and sang no more:
"Farewell, all joys! O Death, come close mine eyes!
"More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise."
And the Geese proclaim in their delight
“One less Pompous A$$ to have set right”

Having to say Wii has bad memories for Kent I think it’s because his “wonderful drunk” was actually his pervy old “uncle” who bad touched him too many times. I think his uncle’s name was William but all kent could get out was Wii!, Wiiiii!
