You gave Silent Hill on PSP a 10

Guess you eat at McDonalds often.

A game that has yet to arrive at my door, I simply choose to slide over a scale to a 10 and all of a sudden I'm wrong? My views on a game to not hinder the fact that people buy crap.

There's a bridge, go sit under it troll.

People also forget that it takes less sales of Wii games to make a profit. So 3rd party devs can actually make a pretty good profit if they come out with a million seller.

So you rated a game without actually playing it...

Bawwww more. Most of those games on that list, aside from some of the sports games that'll always sell millions, were very well worth playing. How are a list of games, most of which have gotten anywhere from 7/10-10/10 crap?

Super Mario Galaxy has already sold over a million and it could possibly sell about 10 million. The PS3 has only about 2 titles but I think things will improve with Metal Gear Solid 4,Final Fantasy and Gran Turismo.

[QUOTE="Cyber-"][QUOTE="balindos"][QUOTE="Cyber-"][QUOTE="MasterKillo"]

[QUOTE="Cyber-"]Well 360 does have two years under its belt.balindos

only 1 extra year, yet it has more than wii and ps3 both combined and doubled.

ya one year by itself with only last gen consoles to compete with. Besides that games that didnt quite sell one million the first year changed the in the second. Being first to release has its advatages.

I dont care what the excuse is, ONE YEAR EXTRA, etc, But games are selling on the 360 and that is where Devs canmake their money. So things will be different this year and PS is getting the bad ports. Every year that goes by means that the 360 is going to have more games than the PS3 and sell more consoles. The numbers will always stay above the competition. The wii has more consoles out but not selling games like the 360. Game sells is where the money is at and the 360 is creating that.

If you dont understand that the whole year makes it have a very huge advantage then thats your fault. The fact is when Wii goes into 2008 the headstart that 360 had will start to blur. ALso SMG gonna be a million dollar seller by the end of the month easily.

No I understand the year difference but next year the excuse is going to be the same. MS said that releasing first is a priority because of that extra lead. Wii sells but games dont sell that well for how many consoles are out.Every year is going to be the same thing just like what the PS2 did to the xbox. 360 has a lead in games and price. The price on the PS3 can drop but you have to remember that the 360 price will also drop and will always be cheaper than the PS3. I say by next year 360 will have the same price as the Wii or cheaper, opinion obviously.

Also I dont the Wii really competes with the 360 or the PS3. It is just different type of gaming and generating a different type of crowd other the Nintendo Super fans.

Actaully the sales are pretty solid and the wii and should be increasing as the quality is raised. Obviously 360 being ahead will have some intermediate advantages but it will not be anything like the PS2. People went crazy over the new DVD function and 360 simply does not have that buz. 360 may have had a head start but it wont make much of a difference later on as you can see not everyone is interested in shooters.

I dont get your "nintendo super fans" comment. 360 and PS3 are made up of MS and Sony "super fans." Wii also has a relativelymuch larger non gaming crowd. I stress relatively because compared to hardcore gamers for Wiithey are not that big.

I think the 360 had at leastsix at the end of 2006

  1. Call of Duty 2
  2. Oblivion
  3. GRAW
  4. Gears of War
  5. PDZ
  6. Madden

It probably had a bunch that were on the horizon like Need For Speed , PGR 3 , DOA 4 , Dead Rising , Rainbow Six , Saints Row , etc.

[QUOTE="locopatho"]Wii Sports and Wii Play absolutely count. I see Resistence and MotorstormPS3 bundles the whole time, and my 360 came with Halo 3, PGR3 and Forza 2 bundled. Forza even has "BUNDLE COPY" across the case. So what? Bundling games is a great way to sell them.PhoebusFlows

Well, you can count them. I won't. That's insulting to a game like Gears of War or Oblivion which took years to develop. And some little Wii Play comes along and tries to occupy the same seat as those games? lol

Motorstorm, Halo 3 and those games you mentioned are still full retail games first and foremost. They are not quite the same as Wii Sports and Wii Play. And in the end, so what? Even if I included Wii Play and Wii Sports, look at the Nintendo list. You can clearly see which company is dominating software sales, which company has better diversity of games, and which company needs to work on it. It doesn't matter if Xbox 360 had one year with no competition, people will buy games whether there is competition or not. Bioshock and Halo 3 sold despite having a TON of competition during their release, so that excuse doesn't really fly.

And (this isn't directed towards you, I'm sort of addressing other people in this post) I could just as easily say the Wii has more advantages, like games that are $10 cheaper, and a $250 system that is way cheaper than $400. And RE4 was a budget title, so is Zack and Wiki. Why didn't they sell even more, when Halo 3 has a $120 Legendary Pack that still outsells them both combined!

My point is, the Xbox 360 has a lot of momentum right now. No one, even the most hostile Nintendo or Sony enemy, can deny that. Xbox 360 just rules.

360 rules if you are almost exclusively in love with shooters. You are very disillusioned on what people like. Save a few games 360 is an attempt at what PCs do ten times better. SO how does it rule? When it is so genre specific.

People are buying these games more because they are good and plain fun. It has very little bearing on how long it takes them to make it or how much advertising you use. Halo will sell because its Halo, do you know how big their advertisement was? If nintendo wanted to shove all their games in our face every second they would have done it along time ago, though admittedly SMG should be advertised more.

The Wii is good because its good, not because its cheap. the GC was cheap and people ignored it, the Xbox was expensive and people ignored it. You keep jumping around the issue because you dont want to face the fact that Wii is really good and it has alot of good selling games.
