I stopped reading this nonsense right after he/she stated that the N64 outsold the SNES.

The N64 had a larger user base than the SNES huh? I see...

Nintendo has been on a decline since the SNES days. Well by a hardware sales point of view. Remember Regi saying that at one point Nintendo had over 90% of the market share, and the only place to go was down? There was just alot more competition by then, so it was bound to happen.  
Nintendo players and One Piece readers, just better people.

But some would argue that the market growth should have compensated for the downfall.  But you know how that is.

In so many words, she basically said that no amount of complaining would change the name and that people were going to buy the console no matter what. This sounds almost exactly like Sony's current rhetoric.


How can they even compair that statement??

We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even [if] it didn't have games," he told the site.


Nintendo is stating that this is the name they have chosen, and we're (wii're) not going to change it. Sony is saying, hey people know sony they will buy any piece of crap that has our logo on it because they are all little slaves to the sony brand, all hail before the might of SONY!!!......ok, maybe they are saying that much, but they might as well have

Why are we here spinning our wheels?

Give us the link to the location of this argument and we'll all go skull-f*ck this assh*le.

After the first few sentences, I knew it was ridiculous. If this is a mass standpoint, I am ashamed of being associated with this.

The Genesis outsold the SNES early on, and by 1993 they were neck-and-neck. By '94 SNES was the undisputed victor. N64 was the one that got trounced its whole life, and did sell less than SNES and NES. There's no merit in anything else he says, especially after skimming through a couple of his "objective analyses" on Wii games.  

Smash_Brother's idea is the best thing I've heard in a while. Let's clusterfuck this kid.

Frankly, I've always wanted to do this: go to a forum which I visit on which all people agree upon one particular topic and call them in as backup in an argument like the one VGrev has posted here.

It's not like it's work or anything or that we feel obligated to come help: it's purely optional and crushing arrogant fanbois can be immensely stress relieving.

Hey that is the main reason why I posted it, just a fun thing to do. Personally I am not upset but I do think it is quite humorous, that same individual also said how Nintendo is messing up by not making the Wii a multifunction entertainment device like PS3.

I personally rather not.  The last thing we need is an interforum flame war.  This is a good place because we tend not to have those type of people.

Unless someone here decides to say, "I DARE you to come to PGC!" to this guy, then I don't see how that could happen.

Although I do agree that attempting to snuff out all of the ignorance on the internet is certainly an exercise in futility (I gave up on it when I used to mod at IGN), it's great stress relief to unload on some whiner like this guy once in a while.

Hey is it a flame war when we are the only ones flaming? Sounds like a flame domination to me instead of a war

So uh, yeah, about that link...

Or should I just wait for Google to cache the page and find the page by matching exact phrases?

Er, I thought that was confirmed true...

Was that debunked?

We haven't heard anything about single-disc Wireless LAN play recently, so it could definitely have ended up on the cutting floor, much like how the Wii being able to hook up to a monitor feature, though it came straight from the horse's mouth, may be something we end up not ultimately seeing.

Damn.

If that feature DID get axed then that's an ironclad shame.

That feature would have turned dorms into wireless gaming paradises with Wiis all around.

Wouldn't be the first time they've said something and not delivered, Digiadapter.  Besides they mentioned it as a possibility early on.  I don't see anything stopping developers from still implementing this feature if they think it would benefit them.
