See the difference when I complain about something and when you complain about something. I complain about the actual product and back up my complaints as well as I can with specifics, you lump the people that buy that product into one catagory.
I wasn't complaining about the Wii, I was talking about the demographics for the system in my opinion. Re-read if you need to. In my opinion, Wii has designed it's games for their consumer base (Which I believe is composed of what I mentioned above). Just like every console does. It's why someone who is more into PS3/360 might find Wii games 'Soulless".
Like others have said, it's fine to not like a product and it's fine to voice your opinion but when you make baseless assumptions about its userbase is where you start bothering me. It looks like you think adding IMHO on the end of every statement will completely protect you but that only gets you so far.
It's not some 'baseless assumption'. It's just my opinion as to why someone might consider Wii games Soulless. They aren't necessarily geared towards someone who prefers 360/PS3 lineup. Many Wii games are designed for the Core Nintendo fans (Mario, Zelda, Smash, Kart, Metroid,etc) and many are designed for more casual players (Wii Sports, Wii Fit, etc) and many are designed for Kids. It's my opinion. I realize that may be incorrect, stupid, worthless, etc to other people. They don't have to agree with it.
Just like you complaining about whatever minor or non-existant issue that you supposedly have. I don't have to agree with it.
And I know you may want to argue with this warning and that is fine, just be warned-- do not argue it here because you will likely only get yourself in more trouble. PM me if you wish to talk about it.
That's fine. You can warn me for whatever. /Shrug. We all know why this 'warning' was really given either way.

It's true that some games are designed for younger people, for so-called casuals, 'core' nintendo fans, but many of the gmes appeal to the wider gaming demographic.
It might be your opinion on the consumer base of the Wii, but your opinion is based on guess work when there are some actual facts in the ether. Take a look at some of the statistics in the thread. Of course there are more younger, older, female, 'casual' gamers on the Wii, it is marketed beyond the teen-twenties male demographic and there are more users in the first place. This is why the Wii has a wider range of games than the other consoles. The reason your comments annoy some people is because they fit the usual baseless (non-evidenced) claims about the Wii. An opinion without evidence is called prejudice. Your evidence appears to be based on, what, game releases? Weak sales of some games that have been released? Perhaps you could let us know. An opinion without evidence is a waste of everyone's time.
It is interesting to note that the average online player is 32 according to a survey I read. (I have no link for this so it might be a made-up stat, perhaps someone has the link and could kindly provide it).
Yes.
