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.

Author just does not get the Wii.

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?

Mike from Morgantown

Exactly.

 

 

 I totally agreed.

Were gonna need a bigger thread

Theyre doing well, is that 10 articles now?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

That latest article is funny, it even says Halo 3 may be the most hardcore game evar!1!

Nintendo VS gamers? are they serious? that's probably the only videogame company interested in creating more gamers!

Oh right...mom and dad playing are not "gamers" suuuure..

Nordled warned me once already on trolling the Wii , so no thanks.

lol, I should have came in this thread much earlier

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

For some strange reason, this picture reminded me of that cartoons with the sharks who used inline skates. What was it called, Street Sharks or something?

Arius Dion on 20 April 2009

LoL! Street sharks, I remember that show.



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.
