Hardcore gamers doing what they do best: CRYING

Wii Fit outsells Halo 3, hardcore gamers respond with tears.

Nothing is funnier than watching hardcore gamers cry. Before Wii was released, they cried about the lack of creativity in the industry, they were angry that video games weren't accepted by normal people, and they constantly complained about generic clones and sequels.

They got what they've been begging for: innovation, new genres, and mass acceptance. Wii Fit, a new IP that has begun a brand new genre, has topped the sales an old, tired generic FPS clone. And look how they cry!

There are some real gems in this thread. I'll post my favorites.

Such is the state of the industry that a balance board, bought and forgotten in so short a time, outsells a triple A title. The wii fad seems to have taken on a life of it's own, able to sustain itself on three year old hype in spite of the well known limitations of the system and lack of quality support. As much as that accursed machine has done to expand the gaming audience, it has mutated and deformed it. Worst of all, it has hurt the quality of games and the expectations of the investors, publishers, and game designers of the 'consumer'. So few seem to be willing to take any risks on a quality title, instead opting to appeal to the fickle casual crowd in the ever deepening abyss that is the pursuit of shamelessly excessive wealth.

@bfwings55: calling wii fit a game is very generous.

If there were any clue that Microsoft and Sony need to team up to fight Nintendo, it should be this one.

I really don't understand the mass appeal of this crap its like Pokemon for middle aged people. Hopefully the craze dies like it did with Pokemon.

I hope you all enjoyed that half as much as I did! Hardcore gamers: the world's most paranoid hypocrites.
