I wish people didn't have to be extra stupid on the internet, but every day somebody has to throw it in my face. Damn you, Gametrailers.

After E3 '08, they said Nintend's strategy is short term. That was so idiotic, I've never listened to another one of their podcasts. It is still a podcast, right?

Anyway, the PS3 will get a sales boost, but to say the Wii is doomed, especially when the system just turned around in Japan after Wii Sports Resort and MH Tri, and there are more Wii guns this year to use, is just stupid.

THere's too much of it to transcribe, but maybe it'll help if you skip the boring stuuf (mostly discussing the aesthetics of the PS3 Slim).

The Anti Nintendo rant starts at about 14 minutes in and goes up to about 21:30. It is pretty well an extreme parody of everything bad ever said about the Wii - except, strangely, anything at all about the stupidity of motion controls (I wonder why  they didn't mention that?).

Then, in summing up at about 28:30 you hear the immortal lines "it's a two horse race now,  Nintendo is out of it, R.I.P. Nintendo, we're gonna have some fun".

Wow. Just wow.

I can understand/tolerate if they think the Wii is doomed and all..... but openly admitting they hate the system and Nintendo????! Wow..... and they call themselves "professionals"

Absolutely hilarious. People should really hear this shit.

Gaming journalism at it's finest...

so wii is teh doomedz because it's no longer sold out? ps3 and 360 being teh doomedz since launch days confirmed?

Hello!

Exactly. The lack of quality gaming journalism around really does irritate me-mainly because many gaming journalists so openly hate on the Wii. There isn't any kind of professional judgement, there isn't any attempt to discuss the Wii's merits or embrace new gamers in the market. It's just the same old anti-Wii crap.The same old "Nintendo abandoned us", the same old "gimmick gimmick gimmick" motion controls.

Honestly-are Nintendo going to lose at this point? They have what, a 30 million lead over PS3 and 20 million lead over 360, that is getting bigger every week despite the price cuts, despite the 'superior' software and features of the HD machines.

The 'hardcore' need to wake up and see the Slim for what it is. It's Sony's most desperate move yet. It isn't the machine designed to turn the console war upside down and dethrone the Wii-it's the machine designed to give Sony a fighting chance at second place this generation, and to actually become relevant to the mass market Nintendo has been capturing.

Nintendo have 'won' this generation without really fighting it. They stepped round their competition, and have forced Sony and Microsoft to accept the new rules. That's why Natal and PS Motion control are the 'next big thing', according to MS and Sony-because they didn't see the Wii's success coming in 2006, when motion control really was the next big thing.

"it's a two horse race now, Nintendo is out of it, R.I.P. Nintendo, we're gonna have some fun".

OMG! These guys are so lost!
