"the wii is a fad" do people REALLY still say this?
thefinalzapkeet | Posted on 1/11/2012 9:52:21 PM
I mean, what definition of "fad" are they using? I mean seriously, the marketing definition? the webster definition? It isn't a "fad" at all, are these the same people saying that the wii wouldn't sell one copy pre release, and then kept saying the "fad" would be over and yet it still has continued?

Could every gaming generation be defined as a fad?

apparently according to the sad little sony and MS fanboys who think their console is superior

newsflash, NO console is "superior" to the other, they're good in some ways but not in other ways. I bought my wii at launch, never regretted it, also bought a 360 and a PS3, a 3DS and a gaming PC

Sure the wii got "boring" to me, but only when i was gaming on other consoles, now all of the other consoles are "boring" to me because i'm focused on zelda, but i'll bounce back to the others. The wii isn't a Furby, something that people play for 6 months and get bored of it, if it lasts throughout the generation of gaming, it's not a fad

I know, why would anybody need to continue stating the obvious.

Consoles in general are a fad. Eventually everyone will return to the glorious PC and we will have a golden age of gaming.

It might not be a fad, but it is a console built around a really bad gimmick.

i'll admit the original design was...iffy, but it worked really well in some cases (see trauma center, COD3 was also extremely fun to play) but the wii motion plus makes it absolutely amazing

The only game I played so far that uses the Motion Plus is the new Zelda game. And it didn't impress me at all. It pretty much did the same **** I could do in Red Steel with the sword, and the controls for the bird and that bug thing sucked.
