So how come liking the Wii is like wearing a +3 cape of video game publishing? Is it some kind of Malstrom effect going on?

Purchasing a Wii automatically makes you an expert in how to run a game publishin company, you didn't know that ?

 

Of course 99.99% of the people giving those advices have never run a business in their life, even less a gaming company...But they know better than those that do that as a job !

 

I'm sure a company posting record losses deserves no criticism. You seem to agree with what they're doing...but they're still losing tons regardless. Is that a good way to run a business? I don't think so.

Strangely, that doesn't stop him from bitchin' about Nintendo lowering projections but still making hand over fist.

Didn't think so...

@Soriku: It's not bad, but it's worthless, since they won't ever read what anyone says in a gaming forum in regards to their business strategy.

One doesn't need credentials to point out EA Montreal's commercial and logical failures here. They just need rational awareness.

I don't necessarily think it's the wrong move for EA Montreal, their Wii games have all been pretty subpar and confused as is (SSX Blur, Boogie, Skate It, NFS Nitro). Maybe changing it up will help them, though Army of Two doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

No, you just cosign on everything they say so long as it's negative towards Nintendo.

Difference is I have actually worked as an executive in a profitable software company in the past ( not gaming software though):p

So do mind, I do have more business knowledge that the majority of the people giving advices here...
