I don't think anyone expects life to be fair.... the journalist on the other hand...

Just another article jumping on the Wii is doomed bandwagon and people pointing out the flaws is what's going on ;).

While this article can't be proven to be *wrong*, it is just badly written.

-It might be technically correct that "Wii Sports Resort simulates throwing a frisbee for a dog", it is also misleading, and therefore the WRONG thing to write.

-It is also true that importance of upcoming titles is debatable, and "important" doesn't have a strict definition, so he has the "right" to ignore Wii Fit+ WSR, and NSMB, and I have the right to ignore Halo 3 as an important x360 game, but it just conflicts with COMMON SENSE!

-Everyone is allowed to write an article selectively about Wii's bad last quarter, but don't expect it to be called a GOOD article if you ignore the bigger picture.

Journalism is not supposed to be about throwing "technically correct" sentences together, it should provide information. People who don't know much about the game industry, only read this article, would get the impression that Nintendo is on the edge of going bankrupt. The writer could say "well, those readers would be uninformed idiots", but it is HIS job to inform them, and he FAILED.

Some of you said something along the lines of "journalism is sensationalist, live with it".
NO! Sensationalism is a negative attribute. There are more sensationalist, and less sensationalist articles, and we should encourage the latter, and criticize the former.

As much as I dislike the formatting of the article, you can't argue with the content. The author simply chose VERY selectively what to include (and exclude). That's how the 'mainstream' media is though, about one-liners, and not the meat and potatoes of what's actually happening. I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but this type of article is written about all platforms, all the time.

WTF? Is that the best you can do? The article isn't poking at the Wii because it's the Wii, it's  talking about a "historical" event that the Wii just happens to be a part of. And exactly where am I whining? I am just pointing out the lunacy of crying wolf everytime something doesn't go the way of the Wii. I could care less what console a person chooses to own, each one brings a different experiance to the table. I highly doubt one experiance would suite everybodies needs. Something you people need to learn.

Anybody who disagrees with the article is removed from reality, anybody who is removed from reality is a fanboy (since they seldom use reality, reason, and logic).

I don't see how that last part is relevant in any way. It seems to me you are just throwing out the bait for a political argument...which belongs in offtopic. Get that shit out of here. 

Apparently, I'm a Nintendo fanboy who didn't ever play with any Nintendo console.

Ah the mysteries of life!

get real

People in this thread on all sides are overreacting.

Such an intelligent reply. Congrats.
