sim1987 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Microsoft Says Wii is for BabiesWell, not exactly - but apparently once you hit your early teens, you outgrow it. by Matt Casamassina US, March 28, 2007 - Oh, sweet mud-slinging, how we love you. It would be impossible to count how many times company reps poked fun at GameCube, just as it would be a difficult undertaking to calculate how many times former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi spoke ill of his hardware competitors. Nowadays, though, publishers rarely speak badly of Nintendo or Wii as both are overwhelming success stories. But Microsoft's group product manager for Xbox and the Live platform, John Rodman, recently took a stab at it. According to a report by Daily Tech, Rodman insinuated that gamers would outgrow Nintendo's new console just as soon as their voices started to change. "We don't feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing," Rodman reportedly said. "We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14, they want something else." Whoops. We must've missed that memo. And so did our parents. Now the reason this makes me laugh is because I'm 19 and not meaning to boast but I've been told time and time again that I'm surprisingly mature for a guy my age so it isn't like its a case of me being an immature 19 year old guy. It just makes microsoft look stupid because the insult itself is babyish. Its just like oook so you must be playing one then yeah?
