Only issues I myself have with Wii are that there's very few amazing games out for it, and the lack of a hard drive. Aside from that, I'm perfectly happy with it so there aren't many issues to be blind to.
If you want to equate honesty with bias or defensiveness then that's ok, but I'd like you to find where I've been dishonest on any of the systems.
Let's also remember that I'm the one who told members not to buy a PS3 till the price dropped and better games came out. I won't call you biased or dishonest because I don't believe you have been. You've just chosen to change your mind on things, and that's something understandable. I've done my best to be consistent though and when others choose to turn a blind eye to a consoles issues, then I find that to be unfair to everyone and dishonest.
Congrats to Sony for these past two weeks in Japan, now give us what we want and release better games and let's see another price drop in the next couple of months.
-------------------------something else
Today is the 1 year anniversary of being at Gamestop at 3:15am and getting my Nintendo Wii. I also spent party of my thanksgiving playing Mario Galaxy with my family, so you might wanna try beating a different drum.
Also, if complaining about bad games as filler until we get good games like Metroid Prime 3 or Super Mario Galaxy is bias or defensive, then I think you'll find many other Wii owners feel the same way and the opinion is much more majority then a biased minority.
Look, you're the only person here who has given the PS3 it's fair rights, and I don't plan on attacking that, given the terrific coverage you give to the PS3, and do keep a great deal of fanboyism in check.
I was just quoting the effect of how you will be bored with the Wii after SMG, when, in all fairness, after Uncharted and R&C, the same may be. But hey, that's games! In dry periods, I have gone months without touching any gaming consoles, and it's been that way for a long time.
Also, the Wii undoubtedly had a real shortage of quality games up until the mid summer, but that has seemed to have changed.
Almost, but things are looking up.
It's always kind of funny to see how people react to articles like this.
Let me state again, as it says in the source article...This has been a 2 week occurence in Japan. When people start pulling out sales numbers for the world and basically tell everyone that it doesn't matter because it's only Japan I smile. People get way too defensive, and it starts to show how biased they can be.
That's a fact, not a bias. If you look closer, I was responding to questions as to how this compares to the rest of the world. Who is the defensive one here...
I guess that's why we have staff to try and ensure that people are being fair and justified in their comments.
I think Sony is bound to go up with the PS3, and hopefully there was a good turn out for black Friday, but I'm guessing all the consoles sold well because people are in a rush to find Christmas gifts
Nintendo IS churning them out as fast as possible, they are NOT holding back supply. I agree, I'm not sure why so many people waste so much time defending consoles.
Anyway, gft, I think you're trying to get at demand is elastic for the PS3, many want it, but the price isn't right, so a price drop makes the sales have a long-term surge.
That... doesn't really make sense. If someone can't find a Wii for a long period of time they're more likely going to be turned away than attracted to it.
And I also can't understand why people defend not only a system, but the company as well who couldn't care less as long as they're making money. Fanyboys are FTL. Sony defense force is among the worst. I go there when I need a good laugh.
exactly, theres spikes... and the then theres trends. this is a spike. i mean 360 outsold wii in japan the week when ace combat came i dont think that spike deserves its own thread. spikes and trends.. my man wii will continue destroying the ps3 in japan, and 360 will continue licking the crap from the soles of their shoes in japan when this spike ends
also @kindrik, sony protecton squad are ftl because... nintendo well its just nintendo comeon many of us grew up with it and can relate! and microsoft well it doesnt need much defending on there non-video game products thats forsure.
Ah, yeah, in all fairness, I've seen quite fair shares of NDF and MSDF in their days, it's just that the big N and MS are doing so well, and Sony had a rough launch, the SDF is out in full force (no pun intended).
Yeah, but it's still funny to read a few of those things. Especially the comments from those people that take it seriously.

Oh, I know, especially since some of the comments are genuine. After your post reminded me about the site, I went over for over an hour and had a good laugh.
