So now you are going to tell me sales don't matter?

In other topics, when someone claims the Wii is winning, there are two common responses..

1) It is not a next-gen console.

2) Sales don't matter.

The latter is what baffles me. If there is such a thing as a console war, in which the company that sells the most consoles wins, then how can one think that sales don't matter?

Of course, one may have his/her opinions to which console is better. That is subjective. Personally, I cannot contribute anything to this because I do not own any of the current gaming machines. But if we are to think there is such a thing as a console war, then by all means the Wii is winning because we must go by what the sales charts tell us, and one does not need to own any of these machines to see this. Also, I am keeping this strictly to the three current major consoles. Not the DS, PS2, etc.

One more thing that must be noted is nobody has won anything yet. Even though the Wii is winning, it has not won. Vice versa with the PS3. It may not be selling as much but by no means has it lost.

Now we get to the former statement. I believe the Wii to be the official next generation Nintendo console. To say otherwise is unfounded. Some may say that because it lacks the power of the 360 and PS3, it cannot be. Are we to believe that Sony and MS set the standard for what should be considered a next-gen console? Does next-gen define itself by power or timeline? Or both?

Either way, have fun with your gaming machines.

God bless, Maiden out.

If the ps3 starts winning, wii fanboys are gonna say that sales dont matter. Its a cycle of sorts.samusarmada

That would be highly illogical.

Sales are fine and dandy,

But I think Metroid deserves better graphics then what the Wii can offer.

It's such a shame.

But Metroid also deserves the control which only Wii can provide... so it evens out. Though, I'd cream myself to see Metroid Prime 1 in 1440 x 900 widescreen with full anistropic filtering and all high res textures, etc.

The GC was not as graphically inferior last gen then the Wii is this gen.

Sale do not equate to the quality of the product. When people bring up sales, they prove nothing.
It's one thing to be impressed by sales, and to inform people about them. It's another thing to use said sales in evidence that your console is better than another.
purplemidgets

I agree. As I said before, if you were to stick to a system war, then the Wii/360 - whichever - is winning.

Which one has the best of quality is a different story.

The wii is like a hyundai it sells alot but nobody really wants one if they can afford a better car ie the 360 or ps3 are much better than the wii. The wii is just a gamecube with a new controller for more money.ChiChiMonKilla

The current wii games look worse than the old gamecube games (in Kurt angle voice) OH IT'S TRUE !!

If the wii is 2x stronger then the games don't show it. I have not seen 1 wii game that could not be done on the old xbox. So where is all this power in the wii-mote ???

Nintendo sold their hardcore gamers out for a cheap console.

Let's be fair. The system has been out for about 6 months. Give time to the developers. Maybe you will see something that will surprise you.

And there is no power in the Wiimote. It's only a controller.

I will say the same about the PS3. Give this system some time as well. Who knows what will happen. Maybe there will be more exclusives and it will jump on top.
