Wow you just made a fool of yourself by posting this! i feel bad for you that you have to make a post to justify your purchase of a gaming console because you are insecure!cdecrosta03Sounds like bitter tears to me. I'm only posting the obvious for anyone who wants to look at a little something called... REALITY.
While Nintendo has all but won the war already, what the hell is the point of this thread? This is no better than any other annoying Pro(console here) thread.ChuteboxAt least my thread has some grounds in reality... unlike most of the others i see here.
I'll grab my post from that other thread.
Overall, the Wii has the brightest future, no matter how much the haters disagree. It has the casual userbase as well as a hardcore one, add that with its sales and I'd be pretty confident in saying that developers will be taking advantage of it just like with the PS2, and look how great that did. Third party titles such as Fatal Frame 4 and Monster Hunter 3 are giving an insight on the situation in a way, as previous games in their series were not on Nintendo consoles.

Who knows what will happen in the future as far as sales are concerned..... Yes, Nintendo is moving lots of units.... but their software sales/lineup are weak in comparison to MS & Sony..... If Nintendo doesn't get a lot of solid, great titles on the shelves then Wii sales could slow down alot....
..... I see lots of threads about the 2008 lineup for every console.... the 360's & PS3's are strong..... the Wii's is laughable....
..... Mario Kart, SSBB & No More Heroes.... and NMH will probably be a very good game that sells quite poorly. Spore probably won't be seen on the Wii in 08... and if it does, again it will sell poorly.... cuz hey I have a PC and a Wii.... guess what system I'm buying SPore on?
PS. I don't dislike Nintendo.... in fact I like them the most between the 3 console makers... but the Wii is not my favorite gaming machine. And to think that Nintendo will dominate Nex-Gen because of this gen is just silly..... if this was true... then plz explain the following....
Super Nintendo -----> Nintendo 64
Playstation 2 -----> Playstation 3
there is 2 wars this time around
ps2 vs Wii similar in performace
360 vs ps3 HD console battle
last time I checked ps2 has sold about 100 million more consoles than Wii
bigLLL
Last time I checked the PS2 has been out 6 more years than the Wii.
While I agree with the hopefulness in your post regarding third parties... the reality is that Nintendo is winning this war without them.I'll grab my post from that other thread.

Yes, good point my friend. Nintendo proved that they don't have as much in terms of titles with Gamecube as well. To me, the Wii is just a revamped Gamecube with fancy controller.s

Historically speaking, the success of the original console carry's over to the second generation of console, and fades away in its third iteration (ie; N64, PS3).

LOL ya the ps3 is failing? why did it outsell 360 this christmas then? you are confusing everyone!
ps3 and 360 are not competing with the wii! the Wii is so far behind in technology that they are on there own level. Nintendo even admitted that they were not trying to compete with HD and next gen gaming they are all about a gimmicky controller and making ps2 quality games on the wii!cdecrosta03Of course their competing... 360 and PS3 have been selling at a similar level to the Gamecube for a reason...
everybody is buying Wii's instead ;)

except I didn't say it was impossible for the Wii2 to dominate..... I'm only proving that because the Wii is dominating that it doesn't mean that the Wii2 necessarily will..... sorry but you phail.... nice try though
Too bad they decided to start fighting after they already got knocked out.I think i just heard the ps3 say we just begun to fight.

Nintendo is back on top this gen, it's almost guaranteed now. The other companies just need to step it up now.

What are you talking about? you made no sense in your post! Nintendo is not on 360 and ps3's level at all! PS3 and 360 are home media devices that can do do many things besides gaming wii on the other hand just plays games. they only have one selling point while 360 and -s3 have 100's of selling points.
"I think i just heard the ps3 say we just begun to fight."
Why view it as a fight? Everyone here at one time in thie life has wanted to play a game the "OTHER GUY" makes. I looked in envy at GoW and Mario Cart as I played MY HALO. If chocolate and peanut butter can get alone why can't the gaming community? It's the f%^@%!!! in Redmond and Tokyo that read this crap and laugh. Laugh all the way to the bank!!!

Saying that the Wii2 will likely dominate because the Wii is dominating is predicting the future..... because it hasn't happened yet.... therefore it's in the future..... AM I WRONG?
Yes you most certainly are. Me saying "likely" is simply me giving an educated guess based on historical evidence.Try harder.
to "pre-dict" something is to "dictate" what will happen "previous" to the event in question...... from the dictionary "To predict is usually to foretell with precision of calculation, knowledge, or shrewd inference from facts or experience"
sorry, but the dictionary is on my side.... what else ya got?
really I thought they must have come out around the same timesince the hardware is about the same.. 6 years later you would have thought the hardware would have been a lot better than ps2s hardware my mistake.[[QUOTE="Erebyssial"][QUOTE="bigLLL"]there is 2 wars this time around

Last time I checked the PS2 has been out 6 more years than the Wii.
If the gamecube was more powerful than the PST (yes, it was, most people know this, in case you didn't), why would Nintendo go backwards?
Even if the Wii is a gamecube with motion sensing (which i really doubt), it's more powerful than the PST.

Hardware is essential. Super hardware is not.
they doing the best in sales....which is to be expected considering its 100 dollars cheaper than its nearest rival...not to mention the console itselfcaters to a much larger group of people...hell my 16 year old sister and 8year old cousin own Wiis.
Salesdon't mean to much....ifKane and Lynch can reach 1 millionsoldanything can
Don't even bother arguing with erebyssial. He has been right every time. A smart unbiased opinion is a lotbetter than a biased opinion.halo_killer345

That may be true depending on what kind of gamer you are, the main point is though that it's not needed. The Wii is a successful console without uber hardware, and has already shown that its hardware is enough to produce great games.
Nice graphics for me is a bonus, I don't go out buying or hyping games because they looks great. Lair, anyone?
