I now truly respect the power of Wii

OP,

Glad to hear another experience like that.. I rented a free Wii game at Hollywood Video the other day and the clerk claimed she was so jealous of anyone who had a Wii and she wants one really bad but cant find one yet.

She claimed all of her family and friends that have one play it all the time and love it.

That is good enough for me too...

Now how this got derailed into an argument is pretty obvious... There is still some resistance to it... the funny thing is that the handheld market already went through this process and now we are seeing a price drop on the PSP and the DS is killing it.... I remember all the ramblings there about how its just tacked on crap or tech demos what have you... Thats all history as the DS literally trounces anything even the GBA (who is still pulling in strong numbers i.e. PS2).

The Wii like all consoles is in the drought... once June and E3 comes around and next Christmas hits this is all pointless talk. I for one believe they have done it and will continue to survive. Gamecube had some awesome games but didn't have the attention of the Wii nor did it have the appeal, or sales numbers the Wii has.

I don't think the third parties are going to be a problem either when you hear the complaints about developers not being able to get their dev kits as Nintendo does not have enough to even go around still.

Its not a fad. No one is going to believe it until it proves itself int he long term though.

I don't get why it always happens either.[/QUOTE]

Because people are assholes, plain & simple. Everytime one of the big three are even casualy mentioned, hoards of assholes barge in and start ranting, whether it's on-topic or not.

Nice read op, I kinda had the same experience with my parents.

Those people look like they're not having even an ounce of fun. Hell, they might even be having heart attacks.
 
Yo yo, I smoke pot, and my parents pay my rent while I live my couch-ridden Doritos lifestyle. I pwnz them bitches in HALO, QUAKE 4, and spend countless hours on WoW (because I don't have a job!). The best thing is, I'm going to be very rich - the old fashioned way, via my inheritance! In other words - there is no reason for me to try, unless you mean in video games. We play GTA as a drinking game, son, we rolls about as hard as white people CAN, ya dig? I'm a hardcore gamer, and I'm certain that the rest of the world wants to be like me. Yo, digest: my taste in videogames reigns supreme, despite the fact that I have not created as little as a fucking birthday card that someone would enjoy. However, remember: MARIO and ZELDA are gaming experiences that everyone craves, and Nintendo best realize that. Remember: I wear my white cap backwards, to symbolize how HARD I am. Thug life (from the suburbs, yo!).

Next time I speak, I'll teach someone else who is better than me at making money as to what their strategy should be.
