A couple years back Sony was thought to be invincible and the GC was dead last and everybody expected the PSP to take out Nintendo's last staple, handheld gaming, and destroy the DS.

Now, not only has the DS completely anhilated the PSP, but the Wii is doubling the PS3's sales since launch and the PS3 is in dead stinking last.

best comeback... ever?

lmao talk about getting served. 

It's like the toughest kid in school picking a fight with some nerd ...and tough kid getting his face pounded into the ground

lmao

High prices hurt Sony. Nintendo prices things very well. A PSP and a Wii cost the same at launch- which would you buy? The small handheld, or the new console?

You must have forgotten that Nintendo their selves said that they are not competing with the ps3 and the 360.

And Wii is not next gen like we all agree so it still has +120million ps2:s to beat.

That my boy is called marketing speak, much like the DS being the third pillar, Wii is in direct competition with the PS3 and 360 and is crushing them

I advise you to actually analyse what is going on in the industry as far as sales and marketing go. Wii is by far the best selling system, they're actually having difficulty keeping them on store shelves, Nintendo has widened the market by a wide margin, making it not only acceptable for certain groups under the age of 25, but people in general, meaning it will be able to maintain these sales figures becouse it has a much broader market than both sony, microsoft, and pc's. Keep in mind that it costs 30 million + to develop a ps3 or 360 game as opposed to 5 million for a wii game, and sales thus far have been higher on wii than the other systems, meaning that there is more profitability in the wii, so developers will naturally floc to the wii, and in a few years when nintendo has a stranglehold on the market we aren't going to be seeing many games on other systems. Which sucks for cows lemmings and hermits, they're going to have a terrible time this gen.

Oh of course, I agree with you 100 pecent. The prices of the Nintendo products is low enough to be an impulse buy. If you see a Wii, you get it, because chances are you won't see another for a long time.

 

As for the PS3, you have to save up for a long time, unless mom buys it for you.

You can't eat the PS3, and its games support is drying up, no new games are being announced for it, while Wii's support is growing on nearly a daily basis

That would have been a terrible idea, the whole point of an industry is to make profit, if they had priced their system around that of the wii or ds they would have been losing $600 and $150 dollars for every system sold which would have led to an internal fiscal crash, far worse than we are seeing now with the mass cutting of sony employees.

What's that? Tekken and Virtua Fighter are still available in the arcades? Namco still sponsors a worldwide tournament everytime a new Tekken game launches? Tekken was so successful Namco was able to create another great fighting game based upon the engines that Tekken runs on? And these games are also on consoles too?

Cheap novelty eh? It's pretty pathetic that a "cheap novelty" is butchering both sony and microsoft in monthly sales right now. Wii lacked the steam of the other systems in the beginning becouse developers were very skeptical of the wii's success, but now that it has proven itself, developers are jumping on board left and right, while in a few years high costs and low sales will have crippled both the 360 and ps3.

unless the wii has a killer neew ip hidden somewhere I just don't really see it taking off. I know it has a huge start, but is still lacking quality titles now and in the future, it has the same type of titles it had on the GC. Also what type of games will it have 2 years down the road anyways?

GC never had an initial huge popularity, nor did it have a massive target audience the way wii did.

Im sry what?!!?

It pretty much had the same target audience as the competing consoles.Do i have to tell you the sales figures?

Sony's has always marketed towards the same age, and one age only; 19, and microsofts target audience is from 16 - 25, while nintendo's target audience is literally everybody, which has led to a popularity among older adults, an audience the other systems have yet to really market to.

A couple years back the GC was dead last and everybody expected the PSP to take out Nintendo's last staple, handheld gaming, and destroy the DS.

Now, not only has the DS completely anhilated the PSP, by the Wii is doubling the PS3's sales since launch.

best comeback... ever?

Man they must be kicking themselves at Sony right now.

Bu bu bu teh price difference...

 

The famous 'retiree'

 

Way to add to this discussion. I hear there are some nice bridges in Miami.

Yes often duplicated, never copied. BTW Tekken still sux, fighting for noobs...

 

What's that? Tekken and Virtua Fighter are still available in the arcades? Namco still sponsors a worldwide tournament everytime a new Tekken game launches? Tekken was so successful Namco was able to create another great fighting game based upon the engines that Tekken runs on? And these games are also on consoles too?

 

You were saying? 

 Wow Namco sponsers a tournament to get people to play it. Kind of like tying a pork chop around the ugly kids neck to get the family dog to play with it. Face it Tekken is to fighting what Madden is to sports games ovrhyped over rated casual gaming at its finest...

Casual??? hmmm...........no, I do not understand where you get that from. Soul Calibur 2 was more casual seeing how 8-9 year olds hit 2 buttons and won matches because of how easy it was..and the most casual and fun of all fighting games is SSB series.

[QUOTE="Mandingo101"]dude how many failed threads are you gonna make today, are you going for a record ? call me in 2 years when you arent playing any good games and lemmings, cows, hermits are.sps9

ok, so the point of this thread is that everyone said 'sony is going to destroy nintendo mark my words!' and the exact opposite happened.

you replied with 'sony is going to destroy nintendo mark my words!'

hello??

Some people have hard time facing facts, since it's outside of thier comprehension of reality. Mandingo101 you need to get a new argument, becuse your attempts at retorts are so weak they make my 100 year old WII playing grandma look like a supergamer.

Sheep were defending themselves, saying BLATANTLY,

  1. "Teh Quality gamez R teh bettar den dah Quantity" (Generation 6)
  2. "bu....buh....but teh Wii iz not in competition!" "Teh Wii is teh roxxorz and Wii will Win teh competition" (Generation 7)

:lol:

Sheep are delusionally overzealous. Stop kidding yourselves, you're only making your entire fanboyism look sadder than Cows. Thus making yourselves look far too insecure. 

Wii has strapped the Casual-Non-gaming Market. Good for Nintendo. Good for the gaming industry. But as far as the hardcore, the serious gamers, and the Casually-informed gamers......Nintendo has lost most (not all) of this fanbase and will continue to do so.

[QUOTE="Magical_Guy"]The Wii will die down eventually like the GC, 20million WW sales imo.Magical_Guy

 

Not with its growing support, while PS3 and 360 are seeing less and less 

unless the wii has a killer neew ip hidden somewhere I just don't really see it taking off. I know it has a huge start, but is still lacking quality titles now and in the future, it has the same type of titles it had on the GC. Also what type of games will it have 2 years down the road anyways?

 

Wii has third party support, and so it has much more than the cube had
