Does anyone think the Wii is a gaming machine? It's nothing more than a profit machine for Nintendo.

I would call myself a hard core gamer, and I play the Wii. All the time. And before anyone calls me a casual gamer for that... :lol: I bet there are alot of people that haven't played Baldur's Gate here, huh? Or Asheron's Call. ;) A true hardcore gamer would prefer all types of games.

It's better than me stealing your name and selling it on ebay. I'm so sneaky you wouldn't even know it happened until you saw it for sale. I consider myself hardcore and I own a Wii.

yea this is why I haven't really wanted a wii, or a DS yet.  BC is the only thing that probably kept the two systems alive.

Yeah seriously, because Microsoft and Sony are losing millions (if not billions) in the video game business. The Xbox barely became profitable last year after 5 years, while Sony loses $200 a PS3. All Nintendo does is overclock GameCube hardware, put it in a case, adds a gimmicky controller to hide the fact it's primitive and a GameCube, overcharges it by making it $250 and refuses to release games.

Nothing can be a system seller until supply exceeds demand for the Wii.  No game can sell more consoles than Nintendo ships.

I hate that comeback, that they are losing out in the hardware departmnent. In the end they make money, with software and overpriced add-ons. What's up with a wi-fi add-on for 100$ US 130$ CAN. And a 120$ external drive for 180$ US? Of course they sell it for less, no one will buy a 800$ console.

Your a fool if you think M$ and Sony aren't looking for profit.

Microsoft: Lost $4 billion with the Xbox

Sony: Loses $200 per PS3, and doesn't have many accessories to back it, will lose alot

Nintendo: Repackage GameCube with a gimmick controller to try and hide the fact that it is just a GameCube and sell it for $100 more than what it should be.

Nintendo you have the wrong plan for the wii, you only want casuals, not us Hardcoresupermechakirby


Um I'm not seeing a connection with what you said and the link you provided. Anyway:

http://ncroal.talk.newsweek.com/default.asp?item=552880 

 

"And the fact with Metroid is we want to make sure that that game is perfect. Unfortunately, Metroid Prime 2 didn't live up to our expectations

Hell MP 2 was still a preatty good game. If they are saying MP3 will be miles ahead in quality, then I'm all for it :D

Microsoft: Tried to buy their way into the market by falling back on all their money.
Sony: Plans to eventually make money obviously, as they are a company and again if you think Sony just wants to give us a gaming system your a fool.
Nintendo: decides to atleast make money on their hardware because they are taking a risk by going a different route. They also sell most of their games for 10$ less 15$ less in Canada.

All of the companies want profit and their systems are their own profit machines, why doesn't M$ and Sony just give away their systems for free if you think otherwise.

It's actually quite cute to see such potent theory still exists in SW. I should give you a shiny star for effort. Seriously, if losing money is the ethic do you think that's healthy for the industry, let alone the companies losing millions (if not billions)?

Microsoft: Exactly

Sony: No, they want to give us a Blu-ray player

Nintendo: That's because of how cheap it is to make games. It's not hard to port PS2 games with added gimmicks.

Profit =/= cost. Fact is PS3 makes no profit like Microsoft loses BILLIONS. Nintendo just releases a cheap console with an excuse to why it should be released and makes record profits.

I'm not saying Nintendo should lose money, but the Wii is simply overpriced. They repackage a GameCube, and try to say it's different cause you can wail your arms around, and sell it for $250? If it was $150 that would be fine but $250 is outrageous. And please don't say "Well people are buying them lol!!" Yes I know that.

Yet another post that abandons all logic. If the Wii is at least twice as powerful as the GC, then how is it a repackaged GC?

Overclocked or not, it's still basically a GC. Only a very few games look better than a GC game anyways, if that (such as Galaxy but even then the GC/Xbox had games that looked better).

Microsoft: Exactly

Sony: No, they want to give us a Blu-ray player

Nintendo: That's because of how cheap it is to make games. It's not hard to port PS2 games with added gimmicks.

Profit =/= cost. Fact is PS3 makes no profit like Microsoft loses BILLIONS. Nintendo just releases a cheap console with an excuse to why it should be released and makes record profits.

Games have always been the same price, in fact they have been going down in price since the NES. This generation the PS3 and 360 have some games 10$ more expensive than last gen. It isn't because it's cheaper to make Wii games.

Also the Wii isn't overpriced, it's over priced compared to M$ and Sony's strategy. I can go to Walmart and buy a blender, and that blender is over priced using your logic, because it's being sold for more than it's worth. But that's business buddy.

They can't make the PS3 1100$, it won't sell, they are forced to sell it for 600. Trust me, if they could sell a thousand dollar console, they would.

Of course it's cheaper to make Wii games... this is not even worth arguing about. But anyways $59 is still too much for games.

The Wii is sold way more than its worth, however. It's a $99 GameCube with a $40 Wiimote... $170 its worth at the most. The NES, SNES, N64 and GC all launched for $199 and were either more powerful or on level with its competitors...

It won't sell for $599 too, as evidenced by the sales. Fact is Sony isn't making profit off the PS3, excuses or not.

Oh, and I suppose the fact that Sony isn't making profit is what they intended all along, and what they plan to continue doing? :roll:

I hate that, when people seem to know how much it costs for a Wii. But okay, i'll use your logic...

99$ Gamecube
40$ Wiimote
20$Nunchuk
100$ Wi-fi (like the 360...)
10$ Wii Sports

269.99, look Nintendo loses 20 bucks of their console...happy?

Give it up, your arguing to me that Nintendo a company is evil for trying to make profit...I don't disagree with you, but every company in the world is evil then. Heck, gamespot charges for subscribers, teh overpriced!

The Xbox 360 premium costs $323, do you really think the Wii would cost $270 to manufacturer? $170 AT THE MOST and that's pushing it.

I don't understand how people can talk about Wii having a drought with Super Paper Mario just about to be released.
