Only time will tell, certainly up until christmas its going to sell like crazy as usual. Once the PS3 and 360 see further price drops it will be interesting to see how the Wii copes. But I think with strong game releases of tested brands and the introduction of say black/silver/pink wiis and game pack ins with the console in the future the wii should continue to sell well.

I think the Wii just proved that casual gamers should have a voice as well, cause they apparently buy alot of games and systems as well.

Wii has more third-party exclusives than any system... and the Wii has very few kiddy games... most are aimed at all ages while most of the 360 and PS3 lineups are aimed at ADHD 15 year olds...

Price is a factor. The wii is not threatening to casuals as well. Where as the 360 and ps3 are aimed at a different crowd.

If Sony sold its current system at 250 dollars, they would lose so much money, I don't think you realize common sense, if the PS3 was 250 dollars, it would have the same power as the Wii.

You mean more 3rd party crap and shovelware ;)

Most of which haven't even been tested or proven or even exist to even guarantee AA-AAA :lol:

360 and PS3 lineups are mostly aimed at ADHD 15 year-olds?......:lol:....Sheep you're only kidding yourself. Alot of them are also played by hardcore gamers who appreciate them.

That's not true. Sony or even Nintendo could have picked out a lot better hardware for $250. Nintendo just wanted to re-use the same chips from GameCube so that they could make a profit right off the bat, and so that they could re-use all their SDK's and in-house game engines.

forget the common sence, what if sony and the 360 had their hardwares for the same price as nintendo? now anser my question and say nothing else: if sony and microsoft had their hardwares the same price as the wii and sold it for the same price as the wii, do you not think that the wii would be preaty much dead with the technology they have?

They're not using the same chips, they're not using the same SDK's. Stop being a fanboy. You are better than that.

All of those games you said are aimed at adults... besides maybe Too human... are aimed at adhd 15 year olds... being aimed at adults has nothing to do with swearing and violence and graphic sex...

your saying that uncharted and mass effect are for adults? ANYWAY

what games on the wii aint aimed at 15 year olds aor kids either. lol if u say metroid prime and zelda then i might aswell just quit gaming all together

because those games aint aimed at 17 year olds and under either those games

[QUOTE="serg_15"]WII IS ONLY WINNING BECAUSE ITS CHEAP and everyobe wabts ti get their hands on it. cmon 179 pounds for a "next gen system" is too cheap> glad i spent money on ps3 and 360 for decent next gen hardwares that give me moore than metroid prime pokemon mario zelda and party games. if the ps3 or 360 were that cheap then nintendo would of been dead 2 months in the selling. but the handheld are good, ive gor ds lite lolFlockofSpagheti

If Sony sold its current system at 250 dollars, they would lose so much money, I don't think you realize common sense, if the PS3 was 250 dollars, it would have the same power as the Wii.



That's not true. Sony or even Nintendo could have picked out a lot better hardware for $250. Nintendo just wanted to re-use the same chips from GameCube so that they could make a profit right off the bat, and so that they could re-use all their SDK's and in-house game engines.

Actually it was also done to make development easier... developers do not need to relearn everything like usual... its kind of like why they are developing for Ps2 still...

...and it is showing. Developers do not have to relearn anything. Look at all the minigames, children's titles, and now point and click adventure(a genre made over 12 years ago), developers didn't have to relearn anything to make those.

point and click adventure games regaining prominence is a bad thing... lol right man...I can tell you have not been gaming for very long...

Been gaming probably longer than you have been alive.

Did you just bash point and click adventures?

Respect = less than 0.

Furthermore, more than 12 years ago, lol. And finally: point and click adventure > FPS.

Who cares? You're probably not playing Twilight Princess right now and going OMG everyone has a wii, it's so much more fun now. If you are, you seriously need to upgrade your standards.

Wii is a system that will sell Nintendo games and nothing else. 3rd party will have a hard time on Wi. The top selling games on the system are all from Nintendo.

Yeah...it made development easier for Nintendo. I doubt anyone besides Nintendo, Factor 5, and maybe Capcom actually knew how to use the GameCube.

I'm pretty sure the millions and millions in R&D costs was a little more important in the overal scheme of things. Especially when you consider that using 6-year-old technology doesn't really make anyone's life easier, in fact its the other way around.

They had their time and now they're gone(now trying to make a comeback). Or maybe I just played too many of them when they were out.

Many games... like No More heroes the next game by the Killer7 guy... or the next Fire emblem... or the Steven Spielberg game... or actually most of the line up... most of it is aimed at all audiences not just "kids" or "teens" or "adults"... things like Mario are appreciated by everyone...

So, what genre hasn't had enough representation in the gaming world? MMOs?

There are less than 10 million sellers on Wii... 2 of them are third party when you said that third party games do not sell...
