Wii FAILS and is DOOMED (or DOMED, your choice) by definition! So, if if Nintendo learned to live with it, why can't Ninty fanboyz?

















LOL, before some humourless zombie starts flaming me, congratulations to Nintendo for failing and being doomed, but selling more than anybody else, as usual in the last years.

You just have to study Samsung or Grundig instruction manuals, after them, everything else makes a lot more sense

The DS must be the most ignored yet completely dominating system ever. It seems insane, year after year nary a mention of the DS in the press despite the fact its the fastest selling system ever and will soon be the most sold system ever. It's also pretty safe to say it's the most profitable system ever.

Actually, the Wii is just barely holding on to the title of fastest-selling by the skin of its teeth:

I'd expect to see the Wii under the DSes trend line by the end of 2010, though.  But hey, these Nintendo consoles are full of surprises, so I wouldn't rule anything out.

he's obviously comparing 2008 revenue/profit vs 2009 revenue/profit

i'm not sure what he's trying to accomplish - may it be to grab attention;  just plainly misusing the word, "fail" so much; or overlooking the fact that wii's sales is still pulled some massive numbers despite 2008 sales figures

more importantly, it seems that the notion Wii is 'doomed' will never go away anytime soon... or ever 

 

Which is the same thing you are doing with your OP. This is just a cheap ploy to get VG$, just like this post for calling you out on it.

 

However, I do agree with you on the whole attention whoring thing aka the thing I called you out on for the thread OP title. This guy just wrote this as an excuse for the website to get more hits. Nothing more, nothing less.

i don't know even know how you can say i'm trying to get more VG$
i've been a member of vgchartz since 2008 and have only made several threads which at most did not even get any attention... mostly mediocre, that i admit but whoring attention, no.

if that is so, i'd constantly post, reply idiotic responses and create more mindless threads


i just happened to run into this website when i googled "console sale"
out of the many news posted praising the gaming industry overall in sales during thanksgiving; this is the only thing that stood out claiming wii failed


besides, gaining VG$ to me is quite frankly useless as i see no actual use for it

 

Well, I'm a huge VG$ whore, as well as a post count whore. But thanks for your explanation.

Off Topic, but what are the VG$ worth for?

It's an alternative e-penis system for those who don't like to use post count.
