Just because you can't win doesn't mean you stop working.

Except satisfy consumers.
"Disabled people don’t have special needs. We have very reasonable human needs. Our needs include freedom from abuse, violence, and mistreatment, the right to autonomy and self-direction, the right to represent ourselves, equal opportunity for education and employment, the right to accommodation, and societal inclusion and acceptance.
The need for accommodation isn’t a “special need”. It’s a basic human right. It’s a leveling of the playing field that allows us the same opportunities and chances as non-disabled people."

Which customers?
Or are you saying that every single Wii owner on the planet is 100% satisfied with the Wii?
The answer is no so you don't have to bust your brain thinking of something to say.
the numbers would say you're completely, utterly, and totally wrong.
cool news.
Wanna squeeze in a few more words in there to feel superior?
I'll clear it up since some people lack reading comprehension skills.
IN MY OPINION, the Wii has nothing to deserve the spot it has, it has done nothing to sell as much as it has.
That better? Shall I put more spaces? Mayhaps spell out the big words?
See Nintendo to me has not found a balance between the markets, they exchanged one group for another and I consider that bad form, people WILL tire off the Wii eventually, people WILL tire of the motion crap, what then?
I would wonder if the market Nintendo gave the middle finger to would come back but I know the answer to that, yes, like the VG cats author said, Nintendo fans are like battered wives, they love their company no matter what.
I deal in marketing and the best balance to keep everyone happy is what I described, keep all your fans happy, discarding one group for another is a huge mistake and will inevitably backfire on Nintendo provided the angered discarded group is big enough.

The numbers don't lie. They earned the top spot because they sold the most units. It's just that the numbers don't tell of satisfaction of the consumer base, only of it's size.
By the way, we get it: you don't like the Wii. How about just dodging these threads if all your gonna do be is a downer?

In fact, the only reason the numbers are so low is because 70% of the people who want one can't find them still.

Microsoft would have done better if their systems didn't do the whole red ring of death thing, and had to lose all their profit fixing them all.
And Sony, well they just got too ahead of themselves trying to compete when they weren't ready to move to the next system.
Nintendo really put themselves in a great position with the Wii. Now they''ll have the bucks to throw back into the next system and stay ontop where they belong

Lol still despite not having too many top aps, they figured not everyone can afford top notch tech, and tweaked what they had with a new twist that was still affordable and new to the general populace. Not just the hardcore gamers. It was a very smart move and in todays current economical crunch someones (not everyone) more liable to buy a $299 console over a $349 or $499 price tag.
Despite the facts of Better graphics, or more killer apps, or longer time on market, the Wii was a smart move. Now I'm not gonna say it's going to last. But Sony and Microsoft need to find a way to reduce prices, find a wider appeal, or just risk something new other than prettier visuals to draw people in. It worked for Nintendo and you can't argue with the Numbers.
Well you can but it's not gonna do any good right now. Go ahead and rant anyways. We know you will. But for our sakes please resist. We had enough in the E3 threads.

Sony's the one that really needs to pull their act together. The PS3 so far is about as big a blunder as the Nintendo 64, but unlike Nintendo, they have no first party support to keep them afloat. As more and more games decide to become duel PS3/360 titles, they could steadily lose any advantage they have.

Don't you mean duel 360/Wii? *ducks!*

They can't afford to ignore it now.
Your scientists have yet to discover how neural networks create self-consciousness, let alone how the human brain processes two-dimensional retinal images into the three-dimensional phenomenon known as perception. Yet you somehow brazenly declare that seeing is believing!

Despite the fact that's 10 dollars cheaper than the next gen console games.
