Seriously guys, stop whining. Nintendo are doing very well and they deserve all the success that's coming to them. Alot of dumbasses are upset that they didnt make a visuals focused console like the 360/PS3 but those same dumbasses weren't too big on the Gamecube and it was practicaly the same as the XBox and PS2 hardware wise. besides, do we really need three consoles that are almost exactly the same?
Nintendo differentiated themselves from their competitors, they realised the unimportance of HD visuals in terms of appeal, they reached out to new people and that is the reason they are doing so well. It was they who saved the videogame industry from the videogame crash back in the 80's and with their amazing success it looks as if their days of benefititing the videogames industry are far from over.
as to those people criticisng the Wii's casual appeal i'd like you to cast your mind back to a little something called the DS. Once upon a time it was criticised by gamers and the gaming media alike. It's non games were seen as a joke and it was said to be the death of gaming. Fast forward to 2007 and we have ourselves the best handheld ever. Coming soon we have a Ninja Gaiden game, Disgea, Dragon Quest 9, a new bioware rpg, a new mistwalker RPG and a legend of Zelda game
if Sony taught us anything it is that support is dictated primarily by sales. We saw it with the PS1, we saw it with the PS2, we saw it with the DS and the likelihood is we will see it with the Wii. so suck it up fanboys, the likelihood is that come 2009 most (if not all) of you will own a Wii
