Quality or Quantity?

Which of the two entities do you prefer in a nintendo wii site? As you may have noticed, Dave and I (2 separate people btw ) have different philosophies. He posts a bunch of articles, but they are all short and usually just link to another site. I try to write longer articles that are more thought out, but of course there are less of them

So I ask, which do you prefer and why? I'm open to either choice.

Well like you said, I prefer to get the quantity as thats what I like about other Nintendo blogs - I don't mind if I have to go to other sites, I use blogs as gateways to information. As long as I find out news I'm happy.

I like the mix of in-depth articles with quick links to news, especially if the link leads to an article or piece of information which explains itself without needing a big blog post to get me up to speed.

I'm not sure if anyone here really gives it any thought at all.

I don't.

You may not, but you're the customer. Most people don't think about it, but just about every public building, every item in a grocery store is well planned out. You may not care how many bath rooms are in a stadium until you really need one, and you might not care what they put in a hot dog until you find a cow spleen. So I'm asking you to look from the designer's point of view.

I like both. It really depends on what I am reading about. Some games, accessories, etc... I like to hear a lot about, while some I prefer to just have something short.

A nice, even mix of both will do the job in all cases. Besides, it also depends on circumstance; for certain topics, there has to be more quantity and for others, quality. I trust everyone's best judgement

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm still not getting a clear consensus. I'd like to see a few more opinions. Keep em coming.
