it's trolling because they wasted an article assuming something without any real proof.

That's just stupidity, not malice.



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

I can't decide if these articles are funny or just sad...

Any new articles?

Well Koei-Tecmo just recently posted losses from 2009, apparently the Wii (notably Sengoku Musou 3) is partially to blame for this. You won't have to wait long for your new article. A packet of Jammie Dodgers says Kotaku is just around the corner.

This is a good thread to have. Possibly even sticky. Now, we shouldn't exactly dwell on the fact that the media is so anti-Wii, but it is good to hold them accountable and use a thread like this just to post all instances of when they put their foot in their mouth (or try to point their finger at Nintendo for something they didn't do). Not just to catalog all those instances and show how many of those actually happen, but to show our fellow forum goers how often it actually comes up.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

 

  

Thanks Kenology, looks like we have our own Charlie Brooker/John Stewart and it is NEEDED.

On a side not, Gametrailers is terrible. Why does the host himself troll more than the commentator guests? Bad journalism is bad.


Personally i loved this story - http://www.destructoid.com/wanted-weapons-of-fate-producer-disses-the-wii-big-time-125940.phtml

That Wanted turned out to be short, crappy and get really shitty sales - well thats just fate i suppose.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Almost anything PC World's Matt Peckham writes about the Wii borders on trolling.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Nice one(s). It's so easy for 'journalists' to write sensationalists news article to get hits, then forget about them when they are proved wrong. It's nice to remember them every now and again

Don't forget the negative sales predictions!!
