"a graphic style that require some artistic vision."

And they consider photo-realistic graphics to be artistic, when any art critic would turn up their noses at that.

Also, they are convinced they can make games like movies, and the Wii doesn't allow them to throw as much flash as they would like. Final Fantasy XIII looks almost like Advent Children, and it only took them about four years to do it.

So it's half lazy and half need to pretend they are great storytellers, when they should be making their games more like games.

"It's not even a difficult position to defend since the Wii has exactly 0 AAA 3rd party games. They can't even say "at least we tried""

Except for Capcom with Monster Hunter 3, which is a hit, and rather than back off, they are porting the MT Framework to the Wii.

Why are people saying the race to second place matters? It doesn't. There will be no difference whatsoever if the 360 sells more than the PS3 or vice versa. They share most of their games anyway.

Beacuse it won and HD fans are having excuses

And they lost $3 billion each. Anyone who cheers someone on after a move like that really has to hate the winner.

I don't have much against Sony or Microsoft. I have a problem with the gaming press thinking that's a good business move.

technology does not go backwards, simple as that.

"technology does not go backwards, simple as that."

Lower specs is not going backwards. And claiming it's simple shows you don't pay attention to tech history.

That's a pretty general stereotype.  Considering I (and a lot of Wii owners) have been playing video games since before you were born, I'd say there are plenty of gamers on the Wii that see gaming as a real hobby.  The Wii's library has a lot of great games in it, perhaps just not for teenagers. 

Get used to it, its been ongoing since the birth of the PS1.

Even if Nintendo delivers an amazing hd system next gen, there will be a ton of slagging on it, simply because it is a Nintendo product.  Ive run across a lot of gamers that say that they hate NIntendo and they hate the Wii, without giving a valid reason for it. Its just an ingrained hatred, sorta like a gaming version of racism, lodged in their heads somehow, maybe subliminal messeages in advertising? who knows? =)

The Wii won, it won years ago. What else do you want to talk about?

The PS3 and 360 has just 8 million gap between them, oops I meant 5.6 million, so it's more interesting and a lot more fun seeing how they go back and forth each year.

Congrats to the Wii though.

I know. Nintendo has made mistakes, but these people will not recognize their triumphs, and only afterwards pretend they liked something Nintendo did (like acting as though the SNES was Nintendo's best system after tearing it apart when it was actually around).

"The Wii won, it won years ago. What else do you want to talk about?"

The aspects of the system other than sales leads? The Wii kind of has hardware and software, even if it's not to your tastes (same as Madden gets discussed by non sports game fans).
