You may find it worthwhile to do a little research before pressing forward with this ridiculous charade. You honestly believe that modern gaming has been reduced to a series of interactive films? You are asking us to approach to the Wii with an open mind, yet you place an incredibly severe limit on your knowledge of the "opposing side"?MrSardonic said:fanboy? why? because I don't think games should be reduced to visions of interactive movies?
Industry well-being is certainly an important consideration, but you must keep in mind that successful books and music are not necessarily going to be enjoyable for everyone. In fact, the majority of trash novels and music hold absolutely no appeal for me. By that same token, a successful video game need not appeal to me either. Nintendogs was a smashing success commercially, but I absolutely detest the "game". I do not champion the success of such products as their success brings me no enjoyment of any kind.beelzebozo said:but you are trying to say that books and music would be healthier mediums if they were restricted to appeal to only those who thought of themselves as enlightened to the "finer side" of these things. right?
The game industry, possibly more than any other, has proven time and again that duplication of success is a viable path for large publishers. When a game succeeds on a large scale, we often see a string of clones attempt to snatch a piece of that pie for themselves. The success of the Wii could very well result in a market flooded with software I have no interest in.
