Why Nintendo? Why?

So the PR machine at Nintendo decided to change the face of the Revolution. It's now called "Wii". Check it out

I will take a customary pause for you all to digest this information............

I feel like an abused spouse. I feel like i'm waiting home at night for Johnny to show up, to love him just a little, but when he does, his breath smells of tequila, and he's free with his slaps to the face. I so love the Nintendo brand, but I can't stand idle and watch as they do things that defy the logic of a business and a brand. Proponents of innovative design will always herald changes of this nature as fresh and ballsy, but there's a fucking line in the sand, and these crazy son's a bitches have crossed it.

In the pursuit of writing there is an interesting paradox that exists. People go to movies, or watch TV, or read books with a certain expectation. They go to "The Notebook" because they want to see a love story (and are gay), and they go to see DOOM because they want to watch as things explode for 2 hours. When one is writing these stories, one has to conform to a certain degree of expectation, while dodging cliche and saying something new. Much like a rap song that is merely Aerosmith remixed. The key is to deliver some of what is expected, and then twist it all so you drag people into an adventure they weren't expecting. You must mix.

But Nintendo has seemingly plunged into a tailspin so steep as to shake loose it's audience. Our expectations have now been throw to the wind, and none of us are entirely sure of what the hell is going on. I hope against hope that they release something spectacular, and I believe that they will, but how can they expect their followers to take the ride, when the shamans on high are shouting such meaningless gibberish from the altar of knowledge, that we as a people are at a loss for what to have any faith in.
