Wow, look at this site

http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS3®1=All&cons2=Wii®2=All&cons3=X360®3=All&align=1

I knew that the wii was selling a lot, but I never knew how much it was ahead by. Got to say that 2007 console race is safely in the hands of Nintendo.

I know, I play my 360 more than my wii, but the wii's being bought by casual gamers (30 years and up, or 13 years and down).

Also Nintendo has a bigger "hardcore" fanbase than the PS or the 360, and since they are coming up with SSBB, Galaxy, and other games Nintendo might become the next PS2. Its cheap and everyone can play it.

BWII, Endless Ocean, Geometry Wars, and a lot more come out within the next 2 months.

So now these sales might be justified by something other then Wii Sports!

Its pretty darn popular. But you`d think it would have more than 2 good games. I dont know, hopefully SSBB and SMG will boost my confidence in it. I have no doubt it will win the console cash war, but software? I dont think so.

mario and zelda games will be the only consistent AA and once in a blue moon AAA games during the whole consoles life because they get 0 multiplatforms.

console has no good games. bunch of little mini games, rehashes and ports with its occasional new zelda and mario which is the same game like everytime.

I agree. The 3 year warranty is a gimmick that people are falling too easily for.

Irony.

Mp3 and Wii sports are both revolutionary.

you think because Nintendo has altered it's input device they've somehow magically improved and forever changed the landscape of gaming controls?you're wrong!

they're just different, not better. And it doesn't nearly make up for the fact that other than control mechanisms, the Wii is in every sense last generation hardware. It all comes down to a choice between which you'd prefe. Sheep need to stop believing that somehow they're riding the waves to a gaming evolution and realize their console has an interesting, but limited control scheme that has captured the fickle attention of the mass markets. Enjoy it while it lasts, sure, but the Wii is still a crippled runt of a machine.

beautifly said. almost brought me to tears lol

Just because a game looks really nice doesn't mean its going to blow my mind any easier than a new way of playing a game. In fact I've been wowed more times by the Wii then my 360.

Speak for yourself cuz MP3 gave me the most immersive experience I've ever had. Mostly due to the controls. SSX Blur is great too. Say that I have low standards I don't give a ****. Just don't say that the Wii can't procure such experience as a fact.

VGchartz accuracy issues aside, the Wii is selling excellently. They pretty much have 2007 like you said, and possibly 2008 as well.

I know, I play my 360 more than my wii, but the wii's being bought by casual gamers (30 years and up, or 13 years and down).

Dtnoip92


Not necessarily true, casual gamers prefer casual games, such as Guitar Hero for example. It's being bought by people of all ages for easy pick-up-and-play games like that.

Mm I wouldn't say that, the Wii has shown to have some pretty promising games with Metroid Prime 3 being the most recent.. As well as many others on release.. In the end I don't think any one would go wrong with buying a Wii.

I can't say I'm wholeheartedly dissapointed, but I haven't had very good experiances with it. I liked sonic, and metal slug (Even though i have it for psp also), and wario ware was cool, but I remember thinking the extra $10 added to games this gen was a rip, but now im rethinking that ever since I bought a ps3.

If the Wii was HD I really don't think i'd have such a problem with it.

Alright, i spent $1200 on a new TV to play PS3 and 360, and I tried playing the wii hoping it would look the same or at least not SOOOO bad, but its practically unplayable, RE4 looks like mud on the beautiful tv.

And I'm glad someone out there finds enjoyment, but I don't see how ANY hardcore gamers could. The games are practically minigames and when they aren't they probably would have been better off on another system without the stupid controler.
