Topic: Did Wii Live Up To It's Codename?

OK everyone except AlexSays despite the consensus and the English language and the obviousness.

And yeah of course the VC was revolutionary too... that should be obvious even to you lol.

So nearly everything popular is revolutionary?

No this is totally on topic. It helps define your misinterpretation of what a revolution actually is. If you guys think every console and popular game is a revolution, then there's not much I care to go on about. I can't make you guys know what words mean.

Now if you all try to say the Wii is revolutionary, but Kinect, PS Move, Halo, etc. are not, then we have another problem because you're directly contradicting yourself.

So re-releasing games for download is revolutionary?

Holy coconuts.

[/div]

I'll take that as a no.
And who's we? you and whose army? However, nothing like the VC had ever been done before or really has since. So yeah, I'd say that's revolutionary.

You realize there are other people that have said no as well, right?

I think I'm just the only one stubborn enough to think they can make any progress on such a biased site. But now that we've concluded everything is revolutionary is your eyes, I'm perfectly happy with you calling the Wii whatever you'd like.

Other companies have not re-released their old games digitally?

This site has reached a new low. : |

People can explain this to you over And over again. But it will just be repeating the facts. Yes the revolution isn't the invention. Its making the mass product successfully implementing new concepts and ideas and taking in massive new crowds to do it popularizing it in mainstream consciousness and awareness. For example cutting soneones head off is not a revolution. But the French Revolution did something monumental and in a massive scale.

Now moving on.... lol

Revolution:
1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) the overthrow or repudiation of a regime or political system by the governed
2. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) (in Marxist theory) the violent and historically necessary transition from one system of production in a society to the next, as from feudalism to capitalism
3. a far-reaching and drastic change, esp in ideas, methods, etc.
4.
a.  movement in or as if in a circle
b.  one complete turn in such a circle a turntable rotating at 33 revolutions per minute
5. (Astronomy)
a.  the orbital motion of one body, such as a planet or satellite, around another Compare rotation [5a]
b.  one complete turn in such motion
6. a cycle of successive events or changes
7. (Earth Sciences / Geological Science) Geology Obsolete a profound change in conditions over a large part of the earth's surface, esp one characterized by mountain building an orogenic revolution

And I'm happy that you can say with accuracy what goes on inside my head.

Please let us know which consoles had a backup libraries of old consoles games. Right I think it was the dreamcast the ps1? I forget.... geez some people.... lol

Except the ideas weren't new. So selling a lot = revolution.

Awesome. I'm not sure that's how the definition was intended, but whatever floats your boat.

Yes they have, but not quite on this scale. Sony has PSOne Classics and some NeoGeo games.. That's 2 consoles. The VC has... well I can't tell you exactly off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure there are at least 6-7, not including VC Arcade.

Read number 3?

With that ideology, everything is a revolution. If you want to go that route feel free. I'll stick with definition number 3.

They were new. Haven't seen any IR wii controllers around with sensors inside before floating around but perhaps you did. And yeah you're the only one who said no. Sorry.

Your knowledge of gaming is something else.

So because people bought a lot of games on the VC, it was a revolution? So digital re-releases on the PS3 and PC are revolutionary as well..

This goes back to everything being a revolution.

So Nintendo invented the IR controller with motion sensors?

I would love to see technology from your point of view. I think it's basically a timeline of Nintendo released, with "Nintendo invents..." in front of everything.

Uh, yeah it did. Not only has it sold a huge amount of consoles in it's lifetime but it also has it's competitors copying it's act. Does the PS Move or Kinect ring any bells. Last time I checked they both selling that well. Though the Kinect did have a good launch in terms of sales.

VC-So you don't have any examples? Right. Revolution agreed then.

Playstation had motion controls last gen with the Eye Toy.

I'm guessing that was a revolution too?

Besides the two I mentioned?

You completely disregard the fact other consoles this gen do the same thing, and there is a platform that has done it for decades?

@Alex did you read the rest of my comment?

I think this is the point where not only everyone disagrees with what you are saying but you started not making sense to even yourself.
