Saw a link over on Slashdot to a Japanese article arguing that Wii's popularity may be a bubble. To quote: "The report goes on to discuss the likelihood that many Wiis are gathering dust in owners' cupboards, citing one software house president as saying...
As least according to this Gamasutra article (quoting an email to GamePro): Writing in an e-mail to consumer website GamePro , Pachter commented that “consumers may hope for improved graphics, and my guess is that Nintendo will comply.” Continuing, he...
Had a few good parodies sent my way recently - both from Sarcastic Gamer , interestingly enough. First is a great take on the Microsoft Surface announcement: And another takes on the Wii Fit board: Enjoy! Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg...
Short form: not a lot for the core gamer, but to be fair, Nintendo is trying to go after a very different audience. Wii Fit is very, very cool. More thoughts: Demographic numbers were interesting - it's positive to see the audience broadening, and Nintendo...
Sorry - just couldn't resist the title... and it's all the funnier because there's really nothing to beware here. Just that inflammatory yellow journalistic streak taking a cheap shot. Anyway, just saw over on N'Gai's blog his announce of Nintendo's Wiiware...
A good friend of mine, N'Gai Croal , just posted an interesting discussion he had with Geoff Keighley about April's NPD report. I've known N'Gai for a long, long time now... perhaps ten years or so? We tend to disagree a great deal about certain topics...
Was just talking with a good friend this weekend about the Wii. He's been looking to buy one for the last few months but hasn't come across it yet. Anyway, we started talking about the games to play and what I recommended, and I suddenly realized that...
Saw an update from Compete (a company that tracks and analyzes online store searches to understand consumer demand). This time they're focusing on the Elite SKU, and asking the question of whether there's market demand for it. The whole article is interesting...
Just saw a quick article over on Kotaku about a guy (apparently named The Amazing Rolo ) who modded a Wii remote to allow him to playback, control, and manipulate music in real-time. Completely useless to the vast majority of people, but it's super cool...
No other way to put it. And I'm not even talking handhelds, where the stomping was even greater. To quote: February's NPD hardware figures continue to show Nintendo's Wii selling well ahead of the other Gen Now consoles, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In...
Just saw this interesting post from Matt Pace of Compete, a company that specializes in collecting and analyzing online traffic metrics. The company collected data this holiday tracking US video game console demand, and the results are pretty interesting...
As some of you have noticed, I haven't been online on the 360 as much lately. That's because I've been pretty much sucked into the new Zelda for the Wii, and am about 15 hours into it. While I believe I have a lot more ahead of me, thought...
Just saw over on Kotaku that someone's suing Nintendo for broken Wiimote straps. It's ridiculous. I think Penny Arcade said it quite well recently : Nintendo has countered this behavior with a friendly and informative online brochure , whose bipartite...
Funny, but some people (including friends) don't believe I picked up a PS3. A couple of emails suggest I'm just saying I picked one up, and that it can't be that easy (it was). And some wonder why I picked one up at all? Short answer - I've...
My Wii code is 1257 8366 1810 0392. Please feel free to add me and send your little Mii's on over to visit! You probably already know my Gamertag. And for what it's worth, I just picked up my own US PS3, and indeed, will forever be known as Ozymandias...
