Gaming blog wank. Film at 12:01.
OR: Joystiq hypes post for massive rest damage!

Joystiq posted a post yesterday saying that there would be a big news announcement at 12:01 in the morning today. The post ran to close to a thousand comments of speculation, and excitment was at a fever pitch.

The announcement?

Nintendo's processor for the Wii has been in production since July.

Read the comments. Just read the bloody comments. Most amusing is all the people complaining that they stayed up for this, and the people claiming they're deleting their Joystiq bookmarks. And that "Bill" guy spewing his "GAF" acronym everywhere. He's worse than Rann's smileys.

Please, no Wiibashing.
EDIT: Robert Summa: Why people hate America.
EDIT2:

348. Wow. so much hatred. I'm sure you guys are setting your expectations so high, expecting something like sony saying "lawlz J/K ab0u7 500k unitz ROFLTACO j00 g0t n00b'd! kthxbyehavefuninternet" or a joint collaberation between Ninty Sony and MS that Wii will be some sort of connecting link between the two behemoths to combine their powers into being a hypermega destroctobot hellbent on ruling your mom.

In the business, we call that an OH SNAP.
Oh, that explains it.
EDIT THE RECKONING: Oh, so this is GAf. And Joystiq alologizes[sic].
