Wii doesn't need all them multiplats that PS3/XBOX360 share, it's got it's own unique games...

Wii is the only console thats different and new this gen, XBOX 360 and PS3 are basically indentical

lol, the Wii is winning the console race.

Just imagine if those games did come out on the Wii, but dumbed down graphically, and using the Wii remote, then there would be no reason at all to even think the Wii wouldn't easily take first place this gen. Graphics don't matter, only third party support matters(as we know all to well), and starting with Guitar Hero III, your gonna start seeing a lot more third party games on the Wii that aren't shovelware.

If that happens, the multiplat heavy consoles are gonna get owned even harder than they already are.

I mean, you've heard of NPD right? People still perfer the Wii, faults and all, to the other consoles, because it's funner, and has exclusive Nintendo games, is cheaper, is the most popular, comes with a free, great game, and has virtual console.

That's just the way things work guys. No matter what your opinions are, the fact is, the Wii is winning the console hardware sales race, and if your company was winning it, then you know that is all that matters on system wars.

Its like this, "best console" is an opinion. Yours or mine, doesn't matter. "Best SELLING Console" is a fact, and the fact is, the Wii has outsold the 360 in half of the release time. It's pretty amazing, and all of the little "deductions" you can possibly come up with, don't change that fact one bit, and really, isn't that what these forums are all about? Who is right? Well, I'M right. Why don't you dispute my facts with your opinions and see how far that gets ya?

...so why don't you go "deduce" your system some sales number, they could use it in their bid for second place.

I love these forums, hehe.

Thank you thats what i've been trying to say, because back in last gen Sony fans didn't care how well Halo or Halo 2 was doing because they knew that their beloved PS2 was out selling everything and Xbox and Nintendo fans had to sit there and take it, because it was true.

Well now in this generation Nintendo is out selling every other console and the "FACT IS" it does have the number one spot in the console race with the 360 in 2nd place and Sony dead last...these are facts that cannot be changed no matter what opinions you have...sales don't lie.

The Wii obviously has the biggest install base this gen, sadly developers consider it a 'gimick' and a novelty that will fade away, so their afraid of investing time and money into something people might not even bother looking at.loky4000

Oh so all third party developers, like EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Rockstar, Treyarch and more have all wasted millions of dollars developing games that they already released on the Wii...i doubt it.

It's pretty safe to say that since all these developers released titles for the Wii already they don't think it's a gimmick otherwise they would not have spent millions of dollars per game developing it for the Wii...so after a year of succesful sales of software and hardware i'm pretty confident that developers take the Wii very seriously.

Since they don't make it a habit of wasting millions of dollars on a gimmick.
