More love from the profesionals at ign.
you do know that they have different editor teams for each console.I agree with that article. I pretty much feel the same way as he does. And it's the reason why I still don't have, nor care about buying a Wii.
So i guess every person on every review site has to love a system? He had some very valid points in there.. doesn't matter if you agree with them or not doesn't make him ignorant.
Well, if the guy wants to go out of his way to avoid great games, that's his choice I guess.
This is like buying two games for your 360 then complaining that nothing of value has been made in over two years simply because you haven't tried or bought any other 360 games in over two years.
nah 64.Article was dead on. The hardcore Nintendo fannies won't admit it, but everyone with an objective viewpoint can see it. Nintendo's glorious console days ended with the snes.

No, I never used the wordignorant. I really don't give a damn about that. IGNorance is not a website I care for. I also never make the assumption they have to love a system. Let's not play all innocent, its bothersome. As for valid points, naw, it just reads like everyday SW garbage. There is no critical analysis anywhere in there. there doesn't have to be since its a blog but at the same time don't try to tell me that I can't chew up an uninformed or ridiculous opinion just because I don't share. I find that hilarious.
I feel that way about all the consoles, The wii being too casual, the ps3 possibly having the biggest flop i've ever seen, MS with it's crazy RRoD, and all the piracy on the PC, it's a sad day for me, but I try to have fun ;)

As I was reading that, I repeatedly felt the need to hit my head against a wall. The really funny thing is the "Sony and Microsoft know their core audience will be there in five years" part. It's not like the Wii and DS were made because Nintendo believes that the Core market is dying. As for the Wii being anti-whatever, the correct word would be anti-industry. It has thoroughly steered itself away from the direction the rest of the industry is following.
As for people not buying third-party games on Wii, they do buy those. Just not in the ridiculous numbers that Nintendo's system sellers achieve. Conduit and MadWorld are flawed games anyway, the former suffering from lack of local multiplayer and general blandness, the latter just being overtly violent for overt violence's sake - something that just doesn't appeal to most people.
Even then, actual effort, a bit of advertising and not thinking that your customers are idiots could help those third-party titles sell better.

nintendo has got each and every gaming snob out there mad as hell!
GOOD!
nintendo has outdated tech, yet still found a way to WIN! and gamers everywhere are furious about it - i love it!
farrell2k
Furious? I doubt any non-nintendo fan actually manages to conjur up feelings of anger. We honestly see it as a waste of time for casuals. It's just silly and unappealing. I don't see how anyone can take it seriously.
dedicating threads and blogs to wii-bashing = gotta be mad about it

Its just hilarious that these people are the guys so many people put there faith in for reviews. I might as well hand in my gamer badge now because this type of garbage is not worth my time. If I have to have this thought process to be respected in the industry or a "hardcore gamer" I basically have lost any hope I have for the industry and would rather just be a casual.

Because you just regurgitated the exact argument as to why they prefer the wii over other consoles. you also made it seem like this is a sheep only thing as opposed to a fanboy thing and finally its not exactly like you are some neutral poster either

I could careless if Wii owners love the Wii, Hey more power to them. But the fact remains MANY sheep, OFTEN are a bit defensive when it comes to editorials regarding anti-Wii.
Are you bitter because I struck a nerve? Maybe I didn't word it well. I said "MANY" not all Sheep. Don't flatter yourself by trying to know me.

I'm sure you are . . . .
Anyway I love how you lost that afirmative and blunt attitude and now are using, "a bit defensive" and narrowing it down to anti wii editorials. Not that I expected anything different. As for striking a nerve naw. SW posters can't strike a nerve, the amount of useful analysis in SW makes it impossible for me to take most things here seriously at all. As far as flattering myself, ha, if I didn't flatter myself how would I remember how awesome I am ;) (watch someone take this out of context)
Nintendo is doing what they've always done. Targeting to the younger or family centered part of the spectrum. Some people seem to forget that.

In sales, not in terms of high-quality games. Which is highly opinionated and usually can't be argued sensfully.[QUOTE="KingsofQueens"]

Well there are "good" Wii games, just not many in the past two years that have matched up to Super Mario Galaxy.....which again, is opinion from the editor. Which is why System Wars is pretty stupid when it comes to debate, since it's just a battle of opinions. X game is better than Y game just doesn't make sense, even if we're talking Big Rigs vs OoT. There's bound to be some (%@&% who likes Big Rigs more.Sorry for that terrible example, I just find arguments on here amusing :P.
edit: YES I AM CAPTAIN OBVIOUS :D

what a brilliant analysis.
of course there aren't many cows or lemmings out ther that often get a a bit defensive when it comes to editorials/blogs/threads regarding anti-PS3/360
cows and lemmings are so above that.

I don't assume anything. Everything I said is directly connected to what you posted lol. Anyway, you don't need to over elabotate or emphasize, you just need to do a half decent job the first time so there isn't any confusion. I'm not asking for much.
