2008 is the year of the Wii Announcement because it got LOADS [56k]

2008 was the year of the PS3 and the Xbox360 because of Metal Gear Solid 4, Fable 2, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, and Gears of War 2.

It was also the year of both Xbox360 and Playstation 3 for multiplatform games that where unavailable on the Wii.

Most gamers will agree that Xbox360 and Playstation 3 do not compliment each other very well, because most games available on Playstation 3 can be played on Xbox360 and visa versa.

This is why most people have reason to believe that the Wii is only good as a secondary console.

Because both 360 and PS3 gamers have Wii's as secondary consoles, Wii ends up selling more units.

Read this bit carefully because this is how Industry works. The console with the most hardware shipped gets the most game announcements, and because Wii is unique more often than not these games are Exclusive.

Right. As more exclusives are announced, the validity of the Wii as a secondary console becomes apparent.

The neverending circle continues. (This is called "Oroboros") As more exclusive games are released on the Wii, it's viability as a secondary console becomes more obvious as gamers decide that they don't want to miss out on the latest Tenchu, the latest mad game with the Wii controller, or the number of future announcements that will benefit from Oroboros.

Therefore as trend dictates the Wii sells even more units as a Secondary console and therefore more game announcements. As games accumulate the number of households who buy Wii as a primary console increases.

In 2-3 years time, late adopters to the console market will observe the state of consoles and see Wii has benefited from the aforementioned philosophical oroboros. At this stage it will become the primary console on the market. Nintendo will have won the war.

2008.

I prefer a PS2 as a secondry console to my PS3. I'd much rather play Ratchet and Clank than Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games!

Those games look poor! Resistance 2 and LBP eat them

lets hope something good comes out because mine is mostly used as a ornament.d3thm0nkey

Wii's don't collect dust, they collect exclusives. Read the post.

its hard to keep up with wii announcements, but you missed a few..lol Rahnyc4

I realize that I missed quite a number. One was announced today even.

It's hard to keep up. -_-

Pretty good topic, I hope to buy some of those games (The Conduit, WarioLand, Madworld, Red Steel 2 if its any good) depending on their reviews (apart from WarioLand, will definitely get that)

And why not include Animal Crossing Wii?

I own a Wii and I'm not too excited about any games that are coming out, if it weren't for Mario Kart Wii or Smash Bros I probably woulda sold my Wii for an Xbox =(CTUDude

IMO those are my least favorite high scoring games for the Wii. No More Heroes and Zack & Wiki where much better.

Metroid Prime 3 was good too.

Ugh wii games are cheap compared the other consoles

It sucks to own a nintendo console this gen, you miss out on big multiplats and you're left with a bunch of crap

Yeah man Wii is only good as a Secondary Console.

Right. That's a valid argument.:roll:

Here, let's take one really crappy game as an excuse not to like a console: I prefer my Wii over an XBox 360 or PS3. I'd much rather play Super Mario Galaxy than Viking: Battle for Asgard! That game looked like rubbish! Pikmin 3 and Animal Crossing will be so much better.

Are you serious? Cos I've always thought of you as some wii fanboy or someone who is obsessed with the wii/nintendo

sad thing is people expect the wii to be full with freaking sequals, yet the console is coming out with new properties. people can hate all they want, but the system is producing fresh new games on both the console front and on the wiiware front. Rahnyc4

Yeah there are some really great wiiware games but its just that they're not appreciated here on System wars as they have low GS scores whereas they have a lot higher scores on other sites (Lostwinds and Final fantasy both scoring below 6 on GS whereas they scored above 8 on IGN)

Yeah I'm starting to not even bother, the people just can't be bargained with, seems like until the Wii starts getting 20 different shooters a year it's never going to be "hardcore" enough for them. Meanwhile I shall be enjoying my unique and different Wii games.

Tell that to mine. The last exclusive wasw brawl and last time I recall that was back in march.

Can't believe they are making Tenchu 4 wii exclusive, G-damnit! :xYongying

I can when you read how they are using the Wiimote for the game. Look up the video it is worth the time.

jeeze dude, this is like the 5th thread youve made posting the same pics of like the same games. We get it, stuff like fragile is coming out, no one caresVendettaRed07

I meant to put you on my ignore list actually. Plus you failed to see the point of this thread.

Do you have trouble with your reading skills?

I dont play secondaries. Only primaries. My secondary will be a PS3 or X360. My PC is my primary.

I dont play such games , i dont pay such prices for this hardware / shovelware. Simple. When Wii , will be 99$ maybe. Till then.. No thnx bb.

Also , thnx again for give us , "crappy" images of some games. Ill use them with some scores in the near future. Also your gosu September list that powns 360 and ps3 together ( as you said).

It was probably the best decision to put it it on the lead console. It couldn't really be ported to PS3 very well.

I stopped reading even before you posted the pictures TC. The 360 and PS3 complement eachother extremely well. They both have great exclusives either already released or coming up this year and I would hate to give up one of those consoles...Especially for a wii.stepat201

Agreed that Xbox360 and Playstation 3 are a must for all the multiplatform games that do not make their way to Wii but neither Xbox360 nor Playstation 3 work as well as a secondary console as the Wii because they're A: Extremely similar, and B: share most of their library with one another.

PS360 is like videogame incest.

i'm hyped for the 2 games out of those that will actuallybe any good.

the vast majority of those are merely shovelware games, developed by shovel ware studios to make a quick buck out of the wii. i mean last gen the ps2 had tons and tons of games like these. but not all of them were even close to good.

Out of all of those there are 3 i might buy.(HotD : Overkill, The Conduit, Red Steel 2)

But atleast one of them is likely to end up in the 'Ok and nothing more' 6 to 7.5 range. And i don't think any of them will be AAA.

EDIT : Also if TC really thinks the reason Wii sells so well is because it's a secondary console, then he's sorely mistaken imo.

I thought I could stay away from it

I knew I'd soon be wrong,

To Tony-Harrison and Red Steel 2

I say

Don't forget this jewel.

Don't forget this jewel.

xxastrocreepxx

Are those announced in 2008 or scheduled for release in 2008 ?

More is not better.

1 high quality title on the PS3 is better than all of those titles put together (take your pick, there are a few this year).

Are those announced in 2008 or scheduled for release in 2008 ?

Announced.
