[QUOTE="Setsa"]The Wii is going to die out buddy, it s jsut a matter of time now. Sure it seems fun to play at first, but it is crap for hardcore gamers. Only three types of people buy the Wii in my perspective: people who are just breaking into the gaming society, people whoa re rich enough to afford multiple systems (Wii + 360/PS3), or little kids with ADD/ ADHD.Microsoft1234uh actually ps3 is for nerds and wii is for casuals at least thats all the kids who own a ps3 at my school and that just makes other people not want to get it.... but other then that if we talk about games nothing for ps3 until later will make me buy it some people have to accept that ...360 and wii already have theirs.. zelda and gears That s kind of what i ve been saying, except i replaced "nerds" with hardcore gamers. There s a difference... kinda :|

[QUOTE="ken_gamer"][QUOTE="Zhengi"][QUOTE="Trading_Zoner"]What's wrong with fads? The Apple Ipod was considered a fad and today Apple reports that they have sold their 100 millionth Ipod. Is being a fad THAT bad?Was the PS2 a fad then? Does it matter if it was or not? Does it make fads bad or something?Well not really in my opinion, but people shouldn't use it to convince others that they should join in.I disagree, but ok.
Think what you want to sheep. But if Wii turns out to be a fad, you will be tormented non-stop for a long long time.

The third party onslaught should really open up in the 2007 year-end holidays and be going full force through 2008.Â

Indeed. The second half of 2007 and all of 2008 looks great for the Wii.Â

But it's okay for people to use it to convince others that they shouldn't join in? Because that's pretty much why I replied to Trading_Zoner who thinks that since the Wii is a fad, it shouldn't be bought at all.I disagree, but ok.

The Wii may prove to be a windfall, since games cost just $2 million to $5 million to create, a fraction of the $20 million to $30 million spent on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 titles, analyst Taylor said. In addition,
Wow i never new it was that cheap to develop for compare to the others :o
I dunno, I feel like this article is pointing out the lack of 3rd party devs. And even when they have them, they just rush to port the games for wii. I doubt they will start putting time into developing actual good games for an overly casual console like the wii.Â

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="dustin-diamond"]Ubisoft better take notice!

Throw Nintendo's overwhelming first party support into the mix and the Wii is a force to be reckoned with.

Very true, the problem is though, while Nintendo is realing in cash like crazy atm, the system isn t really going to be a strong competitor in 2 years time. To me it appears to be a fad that will eventually lose it s popularity, but hey, I could be wrong and Nintendo could still pull something off to make it appeal to tradition/hardcore gamers and until then, I ll stick with what i ve got now.[QUOTE="Setsa"][QUOTE="Supafly1"][QUOTE="Setsa"]The Wii is going to die out buddy, it s jsut a matter of time now.

Why not? Every current indicator points to the Wii having the most userbase and most software support in 2 years' time. Why would the dominant system not be a strong competitor?
All i m saying is that i don t think its popularity will last. It s a good system if you ve got a 360/PS3 with it but i can t imagine any tradition/hardcore gamers surviving with only the Wii. While the Wii is attracting a lot of people to the gaming market, the Wii is in a different league from the other two systems. It s more of a "party" system that s fun to play with friends (or when you re drunk) but imo it doesn t seem right to be sitting at home waving your controler around for more than an hour.Â
What hardcore gamer only owns one system, Any hardcore gamer would enjoy the wii's new take on gameplay and own all 3...and anyways it doesn't matter what hardcore gamers like/want, the industry is run by causals. Â
Oh yeah, third-parties are really "scrambling" to make those spin-offs and ports...more support = more games = eventualy leading to good games. looks like someone's bitter
All the articles and sales numbers in the world won't make up for a lack of good third-party games.

[QUOTE="GermanShepard06"]this is a bigger blow to MS than Sony.justforlotr2004
Hows that? Sony was on top last gen, losing that place would suprise Sony quite a bit, MS is still making a name for themselves in the Console buisness.
It's to early to call a winner. We don't know if Wii will last 10 years yet do we? No, we don't.Oh yeah, third-parties are really "scrambling" to make those spin-offs and ports...Developers are presently giving the Wii spin-offs and ports because they are... as you say 'scrambling'. They never prepared for the Wii's launch because they never thought they had to, they didnt anticipate its success... but now they are in the unfortunate position of having to rush games onto the market because they still want to make money, and the Wii is where the money is, but they are ill-prepared. Within the next year, they will start to give the Wii the best of their biggest franchises, as the article suggests.

When did system wars start listening to anaylysts?agentfredIt's more like we're listening to major developers (EA, Take-two, Ubi) who spoke in the article at large about wanting to shift their focus to the Wii.
