@ trestres )

I thought ,although your post was pretty pessimistic in places, it wasn't insultive.
Chances are people are just reading you posts wrongly now that they have gained a strong impression of you due to your Wii related negativity over the last months.

It's because even though I'm a Wii owner and a Nintendo fan, I'm one of the most critic ones with Nintendo and third parties.

But sometimes that allows me to give a much more balanced and rational opinion, maybe by luck, but I got pretty close with my predictions regarding Wii sales this year and regarding 1st party games schedule.

I know it may bother some people that I point out the bad things about Nintendo, but someone has to do it. All I want is for them to improve.

That's what I like about you though.  You don't have the usual fanboy blinders on and you are actually capable of criticizing Nintendo.

It's just that sometimes you get a little carried away and a few folks feel that you venture into troll territory.  I don't think you're as bad as you were, but you are getting there judging from this past week.

I think we need to get rid of the previews. If we can't base these numbers off strong reliable sources instead of "sample data" (which was wrong) then we shouldn't show anything. Or change it to a prediction/opinion like "hey its me thesource and here is my opinion this weeks Japan/US/PAL numbers based off data that I was able to get" or at the end of the preview say "But you never know."

For everything that ends up wrong on this site(software,hardware,previews,news,ect) the less reliable the website becomes and a bigger joke we become to other websites. It true that we give numbers out on a weekly bases but it means nothing if 3 weeks later we change them.

I think you have been pretty negative since you came back. I always wonder when you are going to bomb the Nintendo HQ to teach Iwata or Reggie a lesson. That's how negative I thought you felt about Nintendo.

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
