If Super Mario Galaxy Did Not Move Consoles Then What Will?

Poor young SMG. It promised so much yet delivered so little. It seems everybody was expecting a Gigantor - Mover of Consoles, much similar to the way Halo moved X-Box's a number of years ago. But alas Nintendo could not find anything along those lines.

Which indeed raises the question: If SMG did not move consoles, then what will? The answer will be discovered in a few minutes. But first let's get our facts straight.

When the Wii burst out onto the scene, I was nothing more than a disgruntled adult, disillusioned with life looking for an escape. Wii does not deliver too much in the way of an adult escape for me in the way other consoles do. But enough about me, what will move Wii consoles if SMG did not?

The answer is simple: nothing. Nintendo seem to be using the same formula everytime that their games just seem to be the same thing each time. They take a turn for trying to be as innovative with the wiimote as possible rather than focus on gameplay. The reason why they won't move consoles is because every child who has bought a Wii already bought it for the innovation of the wii mote. If none of the games previously on the Wii appealed to gamers, then what chance does SMG have of appealing to gamers as it just sticks to the same formula as most games available on the Wii.

What this means for other consoles like the PS3 is that the Wii console will not sell too many more units in the upcoming years. PS3 is set to release new innovations with their console and are also yet to release their console moving games like God of War, Final Fantasy and GTA.

Does the Wii have any of these trump cards up their sleeve? No. They've shown their hand. Too early it seems. And that has been its downfall.

In summary: what game will move more Wii's? Answer: nothing.

Thank you for your time

I didn't know that you already saw numbers for SMG. As for future titles, there is SSBB.

That's where I stopped reading.

SMG has no consoles to move. The Wii couldn't meet demand before it even came out.

I read through the rest. He thinks the PS3 will outsell the Wii...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hmmm...Variety stated that it had one of the worst two player experiences ever seen in a game. They also stated that the controls were poor and the gameplay was far too easy - a common problem on Nintendo consoles.

To get through thick skulls I'm gonna put in in nice big bold text.

The demand has gone up, but the supply has not.

Its selling as much as it possibly can.

Again. You're missing my point. PS3 has story driven games that are guaranteed to move consoles. That offer something new to gamers. SSBB is unreliable as it could flop, given gamers have played the same non sotry driven formula on previous consoles.

*No they did not, your putting words in mouths.

a common problem on Nintendo consoles. *Thats why all the top 5 highest rated games were on nintendo consoles.

let's keep the top rated games here plz: LOZ: OoT was an exception. But the majority of Nintendo games are far too easy. It's been mentioned in many Gamespot reviews over the years.

The game isn't moving consoles. Simple as that. And when this sales boom dries up...and FF, God of War, GTA come out on PS3 - the PS3 will increase in sales.

1. Yes they have done a great job of moving the consoles so far, haven't they? :roll:

2. Yeah, you know like Oblivion, Guitar Hero, Madden, Resistance...........braaaaaaaaaand new crap. Consider me wowed.

I was talking on a different level than just 'me.' I was saying a 'gamer' agrees with the review. and Gamers have the highest credibility.

you do realize there is still a supply shortage of wiis and they all sell out within a half an hour of being in the store, right?shoeman12

maybe for you. but we've got plenty here in Australia. I think most of the stores here would be happy to take them of their hands...

I'm not even going to bother reading that. The first sentence already shows how incorrect the TC is.

To answer the title question, Wii Fit and Brawl.

how could it possibly move consoles? it is IMPOSSIBLE for it to move more consoles when wii's are already selling out! do you not understand this?

1. My point is that when those games are released - the PS3 will sell through the roof
2. ummm I just said GTA, Final Fantasy, God of War.
3. it's not intended to be a story driven game. People know this. Plus it's a multi-plat.

Don't count your chicken's before they hatch. I just showed how PS3 has the ability to increase sales. If you can't deny that then I guess it appears i must be correct. If we were debating on philosophical terms that is.

Er, the TC switched from sales to gameplay and back to sales about three times in the span of three pages.

So you think you can not read my post, then write a comment? You should probably have a read of my posts and it will show you why they won't move consoles.

2. whatever

3. And the wii games you mentioned are suposed to be story driven?

Er, the TC switched from sales to gameplay and back to sales about three times in the span of three pages.

yeah it's a bit of a mix of the two.
