This thread is filled with so much bitterness. More lumping of Nintendo fans into the "NTard" category, a collective mind that all think the same and can't be reasoned with 'cos we I are dumb!
HA HA...what this comes down to is bitterness. Some of you invested in your expensive TV's & expensive hardware and you're upset 'cos it's being outshined by the lil' Wii. It's all about fear...you fear the change that Wii brings, you fear that Nintendo will 'kill' gaming as you know/like it, you fear that your hobby will be invaded by soccermom's & retirement home ache's...you fear that this 'POS' Wii will hurt your investment in PS3 and/or X360. What's sad is, Wii isn't going to kill those ways of gaming, so I don't see why it's so hated.
Over a decade ago, I HATED the 'PlayStation Generation' as it represented the growth of the casual market and the Hollywoodization/basterdization of the industry I loved...a hobby for ME was now openning up thanks to a non-games company. Fast forward to now...the 'PlayStation Generation' is resisting the changes Wii is bringing to this industry tooth & nail...basically for the same biased reason: they don't like Nintendo.
It's even gotten to the point where 2 unrealistic theories take place, theories that are so wrong they even seem to be pre-GCN launch level Nintendo fanboyish. 1- Wii will suddenly DIE once the almighty "HD-era" kicks in...it's almost sad how these enthusiests gobble up that company line. 2- Sony can make their own PS+Waggle, yeah, that'll fix everything won't it...this theory is just as crazy as any Nintendo armchair CEO back in 2002.
This crackpot theory of a PS2+Waggle coming out & uprooting Wii's success this year is JUST AS crazy as a sudden WiiHD next year. I ask you, did the NDS need a sudden graphical upgrade 'cos of woes about how much more powerful/capable the PSP is? Neither will Wii...and by the time it would WiiHD probably will come to pass, so then what...you have your whiney issue addressed, you'll still find something to cry about.
