So we should immediately respect Nintendo for no reason other than the fact that they now don't suck?  I'm sorry, but blindly following a manufacturer for no reason is a degree of fanboyism which I don't suscribe to.a_ratchet_fan

They still suck, they have just got better at getting the publics money.Social conditioning ftw

Wii is outselling all next gen platforms in all important regions in the world ,despite the shortages and no games for the hardcore ,the waggle control is here to stay .

The only thing that Nintendo was right about is that consumers are NOT willing to fork over huge amounts of cash for a new console. Just look at the massive failure the PS3 is becoming.

Starting some revolution, LOL, I don't think so.  But making their controller mainstream was taken from an older idea and centering it on the console.  This was a great idea along with a cheap console.

All in all, Nintendo had a very solid business plan.

Your right. Nintendo proved you can sell an repackaged old console for a new price, if people think its cheap enough. They bring new meaning to the saying, "Style over substance". I dont think its stylish, but i guess it has been marketed as the new kewl thing.

If the Wii had some quailty titles or you could look and see thats why it popular. Then it wouldnt be a fad. Nintendo also wouldnt be trying to fan this flame by holding up the supplies. They know if the flooded the market too quick, it would loose its appeal real fast.

The again the general public is pretty dumb. They buy into the Wii because it was marketed well to a whole bunch of non-gaming and life style mags. Ps3 cures cancer, but who cares when the Wii can make you thin. Yet the media doesnt call out Nintendo on not delivering, on what they said they will do.

Nintendo holds up supply? :lol:

Wii has no quality titles? :lol:

And you call the general public dumb. 

Not really, but cows think so. I notice you didnt laugh at the Wii making you thin.

Yes, Microsoft was accused of this, yet you find its hard to imagine Nintendo doing this. Open up your eyes fanboi.

Learn to read, I said had some. Some is more then 1, more then a couple and more then a few. Then again take away the ports and 0 might be right.

This is well known, look at films, tv and music. Hell ask anyone on here, if they think the non gaming public are dumb when it comes to games. Damn more than half of the business on the planet think people are dumb. How else do you think they make their profits. If you really think about it, their are a higher percent of dumb people then there are smart people. Ask yourself this the next a good sho gets canned and a crap one goes on for 8 seasons.
