1. Mass advertisement.
2. Altering and expanding the market by the most derogatory method possible.
3. Lowering consumer expectations.
4. Limiting the function of video games to little more than a childish plaything.
5. Exploiting nostalgia and franchise tags that are over two decades old.
6. Reordering value by the low standards and expectations consumers develope.
7. Producing games that reflect the demand of the new "family-friendly" and "casual" audience.

Too bad Wii fans are participating in the collective regression and intellectual genocide of video games as a meaningful and valid entertainment medium. Too bad Wii fans are advocating low standards, embracing obsolete hardware, and ignoring the higher functions of video games. Too bad Wii fans are supporting the single most regressive, anti-consumer, and limiting company in this sick industry. Too bad the quality of Wii games this generation will decline in porportion to the size of new "casual" consumers.

Too bad the Wii butchers the functionality and quality of gaming to such an extent that it can't provide anything beyond the most basic, primitive, and immediate forms of pleasure.

Wow, primitive and immediate forms of pleasure!! The Wii has sex with me?!?!?! *runs to the store*

The P0rn channel is in the works I hear :wink:

This is what I got from Foaming Panda: "How DARE people have fun when I'm not! I don't enjoy what the system has to offer, so why are people enjoying it? All you people talk about is sales sales sales, you can clearly see when people buy Wii, they're not having fun and realise Wii is a gimmick with low standards all-round. I'm now going off to hate something else simply because I'm right!"

Sound about right. If he has so much hate towards the industry, I dunno why he is still gaming or for the most part here.

and yet your points are but a pathetic wimper in the sea of forum chatter.

Bashing the Wii at this early of the stage is as ignorant and judgemental a fan boy of supposed intellect can accomplish. You are making crystal ball claims and speaking for a consumer base that is far beyond the scope of who you see and what you read.

You are not Jesus. You are not Buddah. You are no better informed than any whiner with a key board. 

So stop acting like you know what is, or isn't good for the industry.FoamingPanda

We all know what good is for this industry from the perspective of consumers.  We've always known:  stronger hardware, cheaper prices, more developers, more intellectual freedom, more innovation, newer and bolder ideas, greater functionality, more depth, more game for your dollar.  I don't exactly need to look into a crystal ball and evoke a druidish chant to scrye what is good for us.  Nintendo has forced many of its fans to reorder, forget, or denounce these very functional, positive, and historically important values to rationalize their support for a product that works against their interests, fails to meet the benchmarks of this generation, and has butchered the functionality and scope of gaming as an entertainment medium.

Bashing the Wii for the horrible quality of its hardware, the marketing campaign it has employed, its mission statement, and its clear shortcomings is anything BUT mindless fanboy rabble.

This is what my friends tells me about smart people

"Nobody likes a Mr. Know It All!!! If you are one, then everyone hates you!!!"

This time next year, I bet he has a Wii.

I stopped reading a few words in, but I can guess this much from it:
You for some reason will call paper mario a rehash, you will insult warioware for being a minigame collection, you will call zelda a rehash and gamecube game, and will bring up very spesific games no one cared about, like red steel...

How well did I do?

I personally don't agree with your views and think you're taking things WAY out of proportion, but if you want something done, take it to the big players in the industry!
