Re: April NPD or Everyone Drinks except Nintendo
Yeah, even though Wii is at the top of the sales charts, in my opinion its clearly the worst console. I really don't compare it head up with 360 and Ps3 . I feel like Wii is its own thing for casual gamers. Like GBA, or PSP. Just a nice system with a nice gimmick that sold well. Most of what I liked about the home gaming console industy for the last 10+ years isn't represented very well on the Wii.
That change is why its as sucsessful as it is. So grats to nintendo for that one, but I personally wouldn't call it the best console with the best games by a long shot. Nintendo's making their money, but they're not making it by having the best quality in my opinion. Is this good or bad for the industry? We'll see. lol
-EDIT-
By the way, I find my sigature funny now. I remember how ignorant he sounded when he said that years ago, then Wii comes out and just proves his point. It still goes against what I'm personally interested in, and more hardcore gamers. But the casual gamers are probably what drove him to say it.
