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.

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, but the Wii is doubling the PS3's sales since launch and the PS3 is in dead stinking last.

best comeback... ever?

Man they must be kicking themselves at Sony right now.

[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.XYZVector

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.

i already owned him on the last page, do you want ownage too ? point out in that post where i said sony would destroy anything ? you pretty much selfowned along with the guy you quoted.

Not if it keeps getting the third party support like it looks like

WHAT 3RD PARTY?

NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE, as far as the majority of the Core Gaming crowd, buys Nintendo consoles for 3rd party games. How can you and the rest of Sheep NOT SEE this? Maybe a few Core Gamers out there would appreciate the some of the stellar titles for Wii, once they roll out, whenever that is. 

But alot of the Core Gaming community would prefer to play 360, PS3, and PC games. The platforms that have most of the graphics and the gameplay.

Fact is if the Wii cost as much as the PS3 or 360 it wouldn't be in front of Sony.

You can say that about anything... but the bottom line is that no other console before has been 'a fad'... that's just something stupid people are now relating to console wars because they cant accept how badly the Wii is slaughtering the competition.

Go look at all the new games being announced for Wii in the last few weeks, and the devs that are saying they are shifting to Wii and even the new Wii centric devs. And the reason 3rd parties didn't sell well last gen was because GCN mostly got garbage ports, but certain games like RE4, and SC2 sold very well

Some of those games haven't been proven yet. Sure there's been recent announcements from big developers like Konami and EA. But there's no guarantee they'll be instant sellers. Alot of them may or may not cater to the Core gamers, but remember the Wii is flooded with Casual-Non-gamers. You think they'll buy a Kojima Game?

Goodbye Sony,

Goodbye MS,

Nintendo is your new industry leader - CONFIRMED

Electronic Arts Plays Catch-Up After Shrugging Off Wii's Appeal

By Michael White

April 9 (Bloomberg) -- Video-game designer Nick Earl spent eight months holed up with his development team rushing to adapt ``The Godfather'' for Nintendo Co.'s Wii.

The reason for the long hours: Earl's employer, Electronic Arts Inc., like some of its competitors, underestimated demand for the Wii, whose motion-activated wand lets players wield a virtual sword, mimic real golf swings or strangle a victim. Instead, game makers put most of their resources into Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3, which was released two days earlier in November with a more conventional hand controller.

Now, publishers are scrambling to get titles to the 3.56 million U.S. and Japanese Wii owners who have made the machine the top-selling game console this year.

``Those companies are backtracking,'' said Anthony Gikas, an analyst at Piper Jaffray & Co. in Minneapolis.  

``They're going to need to get their best-branded product on that platform.

That will take a good nine to 12 months.''

A shortage of Wii games contributed to a 25 percent drop in sales in February from a year earlier at Redwood City, California-based Electronic Arts, the world's largest video-game publisher, said Todd Greenwald, an analyst at Nollenberger Capital Partners in San Francisco. Industry sales in February rose 28 percent.

Shares of Electronic Arts have risen 3.1 percent this year, the smallest gain among the four biggest publishers.

Top Games

U.S. and Japanese sales of Wii players totaled 1.47 million in January and February, said market researchers NPD Group Inc. and Enterbrain. PlayStation 3 tallied 604,331, while stores sold 584,329 of Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 consoles. Wii is also leading in Europe, said London-based researcher Screen Digest.

Wii games, all produced by Kyoto, Japan-based Nintendo, took three of the top 10 sales spots in the U.S. in February, said NPD, based in Port Washington, New York. Not a single U.S. publisher had a Wii game in the top 20 in February.

Nintendo's lead will widen, pressuring companies even more. Researcher IDC predicts Nintendo will ship 16.1 million players this year, outpacing Microsoft's 9.87 million Xbox 360s and Sony's 9.1 million PlayStation 3s. Wii game sales will total $2.2 billion, trailing only Xbox 360, said IDC, based in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Electronic Arts wasn't the only publisher slow to see Wii's appeal.

New York-based Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., maker of ``Grand Theft Auto'' games, had no Wii titles when the player was released and now plans to have three this year, said spokesman Jim Ankner.

Activision Inc., based in Santa Monica, California, plans to release six Wii games this year, giving the second-largest publisher a total of 11, said spokeswoman Maryanne Lataif.

Miscalculation

Game companies had expected PlayStation 3 to dominate based on the success of PlayStation 2, said John Taylor, an analyst with Arcadia Investment Corp. in Portland, Oregon. Sony has sold more than 100 million PlayStation 2s since 2001, including 37.7 million in the U.S., making it the top-seller. Nintendo's previous console, GameCube, sold 11.7 million units in the U.S.

Perceptions changed when Nintendo unveiled Wii last May in Los Angeles. Demonstration consoles attracted long lines of developers waiting to swing a virtual tennis racquet.

``People got their hands on that controller and started playing games and said, `This is fun, this is going to do better than we expected,''' Electronic Arts Chief Executive Officer Lawrence Probst said at a Morgan Stanley conference on March 5.

With six months to go before Wii's release and games requiring a year or more to develop, publishers knew they were in trouble.

Redeploying

Electronic Arts bought Bountiful, Utah-based Headgate Studios Inc. in November to bolster Wii development. With ``Godfather Black Hand Edition'' and ``Tiger Woods Golf 07'' in stores,

Electronic Arts has six Wii titles and plans to have about a dozen in total this year.

``We came back and redeployed a lot of our resources,'' said Earl, who heads Electronic Arts' Redwood Shores studio.

The results are seen in ``Godfather,'' where players use their hands to shake the wand and an attachment, dubbed a nunchuk, back and forth as if strangling or jostling someone. The wand also can be used to punch or shoot victims.

``You really feel like you grab someone,'' Earl said.

The Wii may prove to be a windfall, since games cost just $2 million to $5 million to create, a fraction of the $20 million to $30 million spent on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 titles, analyst Taylor said. In addition,

Wii appears to be expanding the market, rather than stealing sales from rivals, he said.

Ubisoft

Ubisoft Entertainment SA, maker of ``Rayman'' and ``Tom Clancy,'' was the quickest to recognize Wii's appeal and is reaping the rewards.

Wii games helped increase sales for the December quarter by 24 percent to $405 million. In January, the company raised its 2007 forecast for revenue growth to 16 percent from 10 percent to 12 percent previously.

Ubisoft, based in the Paris suburb of Montreuil-Sous-Bois, had seven Wii games out by December and plans six more by June, said Tony Key, vice president of marketing.

``It's not really a bet anymore,'' he said. ``It's a viable system that's going to make us money.''

Sheep were defending themselves, saying BLATANTLY,

"Teh Quality gamez R teh bettar den dah Quantity" (Generation 6)
"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.

Not if it keeps getting the third party support like it looks like

WHAT 3RD PARTY?

NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE, as far as the majority of the Core Gaming crowd, buys Nintendo consoles for 3rd party games. How can you and the rest of Sheep NOT SEE this? Maybe a few Core Gamers out there would appreciate the some of the stellar titles for Wii, once they roll out, whenever that is.

But alot of the Core Gaming community would prefer to play 360, PS3, and PC games. The platforms that have most of the graphics and the gameplay.

Go look at all the new games being announced for Wii in the last few weeks, and the devs that are saying they are shifting to Wii and even the new Wii centric devs. And the reason 3rd parties didn't sell well last gen was because GCN mostly got garbage ports, but certain games like RE4, and SC2 sold very well

Some of those games haven't been proven yet. Sure there's been recent announcements from big developers like Konami and EA. But there's no guarantee they'll be instant sellers. Alot of them may or may not cater to the Core gamers, but remember the Wii is flooded with Casual-Non-gamers. You think they'll buy a Kojima Game?  

he doesnt understand logic, dont get too technical or he will just leave this thread, he did it with all the others. hey maybe that is a good thing :lol: he thinks the same people that bought warioware will buy a MGS type game on wii

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.

Man they must be kicking themselves at Sony right now.

Tasman_basic

no no no sorry but only a compleet  moron thought the PSP with a price tag like a normal console was going to take Nintedo out of the handheld market.

 

There were alot of those at SW's before the PSP launced...

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?musicalmac

Well that's sony's fault. Haram, they are being smoked so badly.

So far it has all the signs of a fad, and the future 3rd party line up doesnt look too great. There are only a handful of games to look forward too.

 

They are only a handful of games to look foward to on any console.  

maybe that is a sheeps point of view, but i beg to differ. there are way more games to look forward to on ps3 and 360 than wii thats for damn sure

I have honestly, never, in the history of the world seen anybody get as humilated and severley owned as Sony has

I mean... they were thought to be invincible, and Nintendo was dead last...

it was like the toughest kid in school picking a fight with  some nerd and getting his face pummeled into the ground

I'm buying a Wii myself as soon as I can find one on the shelves.... so I'm no basher. That said, console sales are only part of the equation here in terms of luring game developers. The number of consoles sold also has to be cross referenced with game purchases as well. Here the Wii may struggle a bit.  I know many Xbox360 owners with 10-12 games already. What is the average number games an Xbox360 owners has purchased compared to the average Wii owner?

The other part of the puzzle here is how is the Wii games going to stack up in 3-4 years giving it's limited graphics, AI, and overall processing capacity? Is it going to be able to draw in the top game developers making high end PC, Xbox360, and PS3 games when it has such limited ability in graphics, AI and overall horse power?  

So i don't see the Xbox360 really at this point being harmed by the Wii.  It's a much different market and is right now the definitive console for serious gamers wanting to play most of the standard fare console games. The PS3 probably takes a bit bigger hit because the PS2 was so popular with casuals and with the PS3 priced out of that market, the Wii is cutting into that market quite a bit.  The PS3 hurts in general because it has ZERO penetration in the casual market and has too few games right now to lure in even moderate gamers; particularly in the United States. That is why it is dead last in total and month to month sales.  PS3 will surge in 2-3 years if blue ray is a runaway success but it will not be the leader the PS2 was this generation... that is for sure.

Really, on teh Wii I only want like 5, the PS3 3 and Xbox 360 just Halo...But that's my opinion.

 

So how is someone that loves Okami, such as myself... a Sheep... I didn't know that was a "Sheep" game?

You apparenlty think that consoles can't cater to the taste of more then one kind of gamer...  that's how the PS2 won...

GundamGuy0
all the wii games that are selling well are kid friendly games just like how it was with gamecube, so i hardly see any catering.

Consoles that cater to the taste of more then one kind of gamer win. The PS2 won because it had both the causual games and the Hardcore games, and that's what is going to happen to the Wii, because developers are shifting there support to where the money is at.

Please elaborate.  Don't just say there are games that are good and walk away.  Name them.  Don't get me wrong, you may come up with 100 games that are wonderful, but just leaving saying that there are better games on the PS3 and 360 makes you look like you have no idea what your talking about.

-Reggaeton-

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. 

Oh my God, you and your stupid "Wii is not next gen". Who exactly agrees on that? all the stupid Play Station fanboys. You guys are being smoked so badly (PS3 sucks), and you are running out of excuses to cover up for the PS3, that you are trying to get on the nerves of people who like the Wii. Just admit the Wii and Xbox360 are better consoles than the PS3.
