Just go ahead and sell your Wii, since you can't even be optimistic at all for it.
Optimism? How long have you been into video games?
Always be pessimistic. It's the best policy. You can never be disappointed, and if you always expect the worst, you'll almost always be right.
This isn't even Wii-specific; this applies to
all things in life.
I am generally optimistic but then I don't expect as much as a lot of gamers. I am satisfied with simple games like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man. Yeah being pleasently surprised is great, but something that exceeds great expectations is even better. I was pessimistic as a teen and I don't need that in my life anymore. I left my console bashing back in 93 (SNES rulz, Genesis drools). I have been into videogames since 85, with a down period of 98-01, not that that matters at all.
How is expecting the worst making you always right? If the game is great your right if you thought it would be bad?

If I assume the worst out of a game why would I even want to try it and find out the truth? So if I go by your train of thought I would have to lower my expectations, not be pessimistic. That I agree to, not focusing on the negative and the gloom. I am also the reverse though I am never for hype.
Where's my chippy? There's my chippy.
