360 came out of the gate limping, and the PS3 was DOA.

The Wii on the other hand came out of the gate flying. It's the fastest selling console ever, cultural phenom, it's software attach rate is staggeringly high, developers are scrambling to get games on it, Nintendo is opening the flood gates with dozens of games... anybody who thinks the Wii is going to magically stop selling is going to be waiting the entire generation for it to do so,

this is just the beginning.

embrace your soon to be market leader.

Long live Nintendo.

Even if Nintendo ends up selling the modt, they still have lackluster games. PS3 and X360 will always have the better games.

Um 360 is still number 1, why would they throw the white flag? Wii has crap games, pse and 360 have good games, so if they were gone, i`ll be stuck with Zeldcrap and Wario ware, BLAH!

This generation is not over. However, Wii is gaining the best of the casuals and non-gamers userbase and the XBox 360 is is getting the best of the hardcore gamers against the PS3. That is happening in the VG Industry thus far.

No. Unless Wii gets some GOOD third-party games on the level that PS2 had, and REAL Killer-Apps, expect it to pull a GC in a few months.

I bet you've been expecting it for th past months now that the Wii will turn into GC. So far, your expectation regarding to Wii is false. Wii may not have REHARSH killer apps that you wanted, but does not mean the 3rd party nor nintendo can't create new onesf or Wii. In present time, Wii is doing well.

Most games? Who cares about most games! In the video game business it is the sales that matter whether you're a gamer, business analysis, or consumer.

    No, sales matter to the businesses. As a consumer, I can still play games, even if you don't buy the system I own. That is the beauty of being a consumer. We don't have to worry about sales.

The Wii is selling purely on a casual basis. Cheaper price and flailing arms will have parents buying it for their kids in a flash. Too bad its novelty wears thin in five minutes. This is really indicative in the lack of quality software for the darn thing. I've already played Twilight Princess on my Gamecube so on my Wii...?

If console gaming in the future turns into a big flood of mediocre party games with crap graphics, then I'm just going to turn hermit.

Nintendo sells well, there is no doubting that but you can bet your last dollar that the Wii's popularity will not overide gamers desire for bigger and better games, which are coming with the 360 and PS3. Wii is a good console ( I own one) but it lacks online and graphics and those are the staples of future games.

Bud, I work at a Gamestop. I've had a clear 3:1 ratio of parents buying a Wii as to actual gamers that buy one. Oh no wait, that means absolutely nothing because I don't work at every single Gamestop, Toys R' Us, etc as you propose.

I personally love your explanation to my price reasoning as well. Because the Gamecube flopped does not mean that the cheapest (which is clearly evident in both power and software) next gen system (the Wii, which I own, idiot) won't sell well. Do you think parents are like "Oh hey! I've seen this on TV! And it's so much cheaper than that 360 or PS3, little Johnny will love it! Oooh, look at all those kid friendly games too. Oh wait, the Gamecube last gen flop--" What? They don't care about that at all.

Furthermore, I love your explanation to the Wii's lack of great games. Oh, that's because there isn't one and its novelty wears thin just as fast as the system is selling.
