so they get paid for being informed about things they are talking about so how come they don't know even obvious facts, games, industry etc.?

"The Wii is doomed. I think the Wii is finally, you know, we're starting to hear the deathwails, and, you know, they're playing the death march. [...] I think we'll see a big drop off in Wii 3rd party support for software"

Harsch words.

Oooh:

"-Four player Super Mario Brothers is not cutting it for me this year

-Yeah, it's freaking lame."

and at the same time wii is getting more really high quality and good exclusive titles for the next 18 months than ps3 or 360 ever will.

Gaming Journalism have little in common with proper Journalism, most of those dudes are bunch of fanboys that need to grow up.

It's hard to tell them from message board fanboys.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Um.... this is the third thread on the subject.

But anyway, I don't think they even care about stating the wrong facts. I think they do it on purpose just to try and hurt the Wii in every way they can.

I LOVE ICELAND!

I love how these people use the fact that Wii sales are not as high as they were as some sort of indication that judgment day is approaching. Because the sales for PS3 and X360 are at an outstanding all time high huh...

How technical is your game?

They presented good enough arguments, maybe over the top calling the Wii doomed but other than that most of what they said is fact, just said in a negative light.

No their arguments were quite pathetic, they harped on how the Wii sales are slowing, well even slow wii sales are still outselling both the PS3 and 360 combined, they harped on how Wii software doesn't sell, well as I can see eight of the top 20 games sold last week were on Wii, only 1 was on the 360 and only 1 on the PS3, madden, they said that no one is going to buy the Wii once the PS3 and 350 are only $50 more, because they'll have motion controls soon, well first off their motion controls are months away, but even more importantly, they don't have Wii sports resort or Wii fit plus or New Super Mario Bros, Wii does, people buy consoles for games, not for price.

Their entire argument was a hardcore gamer rant against the blue ocean and how Nintendo isn't catering to them, well so what, they can play their PS3 and 360 and be happy, why does Nitnendo have to cater to them? Wii is doing great, even at a slow point.

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
