Forums - Nintendo - Eurogamer: The recession will hit the Wii first.

Lately I've been seeing lots of articles talking not very good things about the Wii. For example:

- The Wii bubble is about to explote (http://ecetia.com/2009/01/31/la-burbuja-wii-esta-a-punto-de-explotar/). It says Nintendo has reduced its predictions, their stokes fall and demand has decreased a lot in Japan.

- Xtreme (Spanish videogame magazine) gives Animal Crossing only a 62 in its review this month Some interesting quotes are: "this is the least sincere Nintendo superproduction since its rebirth" or "AC is a product of the apathy already chronicle of Nintendo, very certain in its strictly commercial movements, but each day more far away of its real and faithful niche. Remember: the crowd mainstream is mayfly. Be conscious".

- "The Wii 2 to cause games industry to crash" (http://www.gameplayer.com.au/gp_documents/Industry-Crash.aspx). This is a bit catastrophic but interesting article IMO.

So, Wii problems won't only be caused by the crisis.

Yow. Those people over at Gameplayer are pretty much the definition of elitist snobs. Geeze. No idea what they're talking about, they just throw out every argument that has been made against Wii. Fickle fanbases, bitching about abandoning the hardcore, and generally disacknowledging the Wii's success

 

 

The best thing about this generation is going to be when it's over and the dust has settled, those who made these fickle arguements will have to face the reality that they were DEAD WRONG.

 

I can't wait to hear their excuses!

 A lot of analysts made wrong guesses, it always happen. They don't need to excuse for what they think.

Anyway, no one is commenting on the quote I like the most, in relation to the Animal Crossing review "AC is a product of the apathy already chronicle of Nintendo, very certain in its strictly commercial movements, but each day more far away of its real and faithful niche. Remember: the crowd mainstream is mayfly. Be conscious". It's fun the see people defending Nintendo while what it is doing now with the Wii is making eeeeeeeeeasy money. But again, all are valid and subjective opinions.

Any thoughtful person is already aware that the slow down in the release of major games on the Wii is that development has switched to motion plus based games which cannot be released until the hardware is available. There is then going to be a virtual flood of major releases.
