hahaz! yeah partially right though i noticed something else.

do you know those whiners who whine about lack of wii games, about lack of "core" games are actually PS360 fanboys in disguise?

Certain users on here have an eerily similar posting style when responding to things like this. They act really elated that there's bad news. Ending inflammatory sentences with an emoticon to try and escape moderation seems to be common as well.

There has also been plenty of praise for the Wii, more possibly than the other 2 consoles.

So to answer your original question: you care.

 

Nah i dont care that the Wii is getting bashed...

I find it amusing that the exact same thing happened to the other 2 consoles... and Wii fanboys just lol'd.

it's not like people consider fanboys to be real gamers anyways so who cares?

I meant you care enough to prompt an argument where we're both making baseless statements. Something like this could rumble on and on with no progress at all. Maybe the reason I'm so disgusted with all this is because I'm neither a fanboy, nor do I gloat at misfortune.

@ Gnac

I see what you mean now.
But when i was asking who cared, it was about the bashing, and i gave examples for why i didnt care.



                            

Here are my quick thoughts on the article

Terrible title. But if you read it, makes some sense.

Satire. And misinformation.

Hatched job. Yahoo hates the Wii. (I love how Ed Barton calls a game that sold 1M in Japan a failure – but to him that is what Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii is)

I have no real idea what this person means. But he is an long-time gamer (had an Atari 2600) and is into PC gaming mostly now.

Little known site, little known writer trying to get traffic with the “conventional wisdom” point-of-view.

Here are my thoughts on the latest rash of articles.

If the Wii is in trouble and it is outselling the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined -- what does that say about the industry?

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Exactly.

 



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Every console gets bashed, no biggie.

-people criticise the PS3 price tag
-people criticise the 360 failure rate
-people criticise the Wii gang buster shovelware sales and on occasion it's graphics, but only when someone is foolish enough to say that it's comparable to the PS3/360 graphics.
