You have to admit how wonderful the system has to be to have completely clobbered 360 sales in only 10 months.

Casuals? You can't really be that subjective when they're buying up the system regardless. 10+ people don't seem to lie.

And it doesn't break down either, so no excuse for that. The wii is always getting a plethora of games, even minigames are selling out your precious 3 year in the making fps'. lol

Funny, I remember seeing tons of non-casuals having the Wii, even college kids. I even have a Wii.

Most kids having the system is a big lie, most kids have the 360 and whine for Halo. I guarantee that's the reason why you hear so many nasty kids on xbox live.

if everyone made hour of victory, gears of war, bullet witchs like half life the 360 would have a better library to me.

but they don't.

and i find nothing intellectually challenging, nor much good level design in alot of shooters on the 360.

i wonder how many 360 games have a gun in them? not FPS, but a gun.

anyway, i really think shooters are flooding the market, and while they can be good i am not willing to sacrifice a good single player story that is more than 6 hours long (lost planet,gears of war, halo) just to listen to little 14 year old boys scream on XBL.

we always knew movie-tie ins had short games but all of these?

anyway, the Wii is selling like mad and will get loads of new exciting games like Dragon Quest, No More Heroes, De Blob, Sadness, etc.

i for one think hardcore gamers or people who somehow dubbed themselves that are what "Kills" a console. not casuals.

more money is more money to make games.

more games means more ideas.

more ideas means innovative ideas.

an online shooter, is just another online shooter. its getting to where i was with WW 2 games a few years ago.

afterall hardcore gamers bought the dreamcast, saturn. good systems but their librarys fail in comparison to their competition.

Kiddies don't like Nintendo because their are not enough violent games on it. Mature people buy it because they know how to have fun.

I have no proof of this but its something that is quite common around where I live.

Don't get me wrong I like the Wii, but it nowhere has the same attach ratio of games per console sold, than the 360. Why it really has no games that people want. Most of them are playing Wii Sports only. The only reason why I bought it, was because of Metroid, Zelda, and the Mario games, thats it.

what he said

Resident Evil 4, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64.

I would take those over anything Xbox anyday.

Can I play those on the 360 right now? like today?

how about earthbound, chrono trigger, dragon quest? (not right now on VC but i see it coming)

oh yeah, you guys got grabbed by the ghoulies and kameo.

such a shame compared to goldeneye, star fox 64, original perfect dark, banjo

but hey maybe the new banjo will be great right?

and maybe banjo and kazooie didn't borrow everything it had from mario 64?

no. Ratchet and Clank and Mario are the best platformers around. Banjo could be the next donkey kong (sad as that is to say)

meaning a parody of its former self.

Almost every decent gamer that has a wii has a 360 aswell, or a psp. Only kiddies play only their wii. I'd rather kill myself than have a mini game system as my sole gaming console. Main reason i bought my psp aswell as my DS. DS's libery is packed full of £30 mini games. PSP library although scarce good games, has enough to keep me playing.

Why would sales matter when 360 and even ps3 have better games then Wii?

mingo123

(if what you said was true) sales determine how LONG they'd have better games then the Wii.

the force unleashed is just the beginning. a small, but key beginning to the third party flood that will happen ala DS in 2008-2009.

tell me if all those great PS3 games launch next year, and 360's fable 2, and ,....... oh yeah alan wake

and if the Wii still outsells them and hardcore games like Resident Evil, No More Heroes, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy still sell well on it. then what will stop people from pulling a PS2 and shifting all their support if not a large portion to the Wii?

Sales=Games

look at the PS2's launch and tell me this doesn't matter.

look at how even the librarys were in 2002, and then how different in 2006.

I guarantee the most played wii game is wii play or wii sports.II-FBIsniper-II

well wii sports is free but twilight princess on Wii has sold as much as gears of war.

resident evil 4 and metroid prime 3 are around the million mark

and y'know what guitar hero 3, manhunt 2, nights,super mario galaxy, bully, zack &wiki, umbrella chronicles, medal of honor are only a month away practically

besides Super Smash Bros Brawl will be the most played game of this generation. at least on any ninty platform.

you remember when reggie said at E3 that 40% of wii owners were over 40 years old?

he did, and that is true.

yesterday at work a guy with white hair came in looking at our wii section and said he couldn;t wait to play zack and wiki with his wife.

he reserved it, and then bought resident evil 4.

guarantees from ppl on the internet are always reliable. BTW, did you know that you have a nigerian ralative that left you millions. just send me the transfer fee and i guarantee you'll get his millions :lol:

but about your claim. I do think wii sports is the most played. after all it did come with all the wii's in the US and is accessible for everyone. Supermario Bros was probably the most played NES game too.

You can easily tell that most of the Wii userbase is casual, or non gamers, just look at Metriod prime sales. Metriod is supposable the greatest game on the Wii at this time and is selling pretty poorly if you compare it to the top games of other systems.

Gee, let me see which system I want? The one with a bunch of mini games and a couple of mid AA games or the system with the best AAA games this gen and the hardware powerful enough to play the games. I think Nintendo did a great job of grabbing a casual market this gen and for that I tip my hat to them but the second the Wii can play any of the great games that the 360 has now is the day I will trade in my 360 for a wii. It can sell all it wants but it will never play Bioshock, Gears of War, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Foza 2, Rainbow 6 Vegas, Oblivion or any of the other plethora of great games it is still a secondary system in my book.

thedarkomen

First off im not a lemming, at one point i owned all 3 next-gen consoles.

But what is your point,I'm assuming you only own one next gen console and thats a wii, or your a ps3 fangirl that is basking in the success of wii because ps3 has not out-done 360 yet(sales wise).

I agree that 360 fangirls are a bit foolish IMO, but so are ps3 fangirls and so are wii fangirls.

First off 360 sold more than twice the amount of ps3's last month, and ps3 has never outsold 360 in a mont, and the only time it came close was the month after the $100 price drop.

And it's great the wii has had so much success, its great for the industry, but i would not call the console wonderfull, it was just a great marketing plan.

I bought a wii at launch, i got zelda,red steel and of course wii sports, i really enjoyed zelda but realistcly it was a gamecube game with waggle, im not a fan of the motion control, i found it boring to shake my hand back and forward or up and down to fight, theres no skill in that.

Red steel was terrible, i enjoyed wii sports for around a month, my family who have never played games also enjoyed it, but soon the novelty wore off and nobody wanted to play the wii.

So after not turning it on for 2-3 months i decided i needed some new games, i bought mario strikers,mortal kombat,raym-man and rented several games like super monkey ball,wario,cod 3 and a few others, i didnt enjoy any of them, cod3 felt bad compared to the sub-standard 360 version, monkey ball and wario were good for a week or two while it kept people interested in playing the wii, mortal combat was boring.

I spent more time playing vc games than actual wii games.

And finally i sold the wii on ebay because i felt like i had been ripped-off, to me i bought an expensive gamecube with waggle, i had not played anything in another 3 months and while searching for new games i realised theres only one single game announced i want to play and thats mario galaxy, and my sister has a wii so i can borrow hers, but other than that there was not another wii game that interrested me.

Mini-games-ps2,psp ports and a few decent first party games.

I am pleased nintendo brought casuals into gaming, but overall i doubt wii will win the console war, wii has already dropped dramitcly in sales over the last two months in japan, and i think the same will happen in the other continents some time next year.

And mini-games, infact no wii game will outsell halo 3, your sayingmini-game games areoutselling halo 3, one halo is not even released yet and two halo 3 has had over 2 million pre-orders.

Wii owners keep saying since the wii doesnt have super hd graphics dev's will concentrate on amazing game-play, where is the next-gen amazing gameplay, i have failed to find it, all i see is ps2 ports and mini games, last gen games with waggle.

This is just my opinion like that seemed to be yours(it seemed more like an un-informedfangirl rant to me).

PS3/Xbox 360 and a high end pc will do for my next gen gaming needs, oh and also to borrow my sister's wii for the only wii game worth noting, "a plethora of games" more like a ton of crap games and 3 good ones.

I will take quality over quantity anyday of the week, i will take beautiful next-gen graphics and gameplay over sub-standard ps2 graphics, i will take brilliant online features over friend codes that barley get used anyday of the week.

LEGEND OF ZELDA TWILIGHT PRINCESS has already sold almost 5 million copies as much if not more than gears of war

WII PLAY, WII SPORTS, sell more than Halo 3 will.

and if you don't watch out

Super Smash Bros Brawl will outsell halo3 in the long run

halo 3 will sell like 4 million this year tops and then shimmer down.

it has a much smaller userbase than the xbox did when halo 2 came out.

That doesn't make any sense. Metroid sold a heck of a lot of games, second only to Bioshock, which got hyped to hell on review sites along with marketing blitz (commercials, high graded reviews).

Call me when its game library matches that of the 360.

*yawn*

darth-pyschosis

what he said

Resident Evil 4, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64.

I would take those over anything Xbox anyday.

Can I play those on the 360 right now? like today?

how about earthbound, chrono trigger, dragon quest? (not right now on VC but i see it coming)

oh yeah, you guys got grabbed by the ghoulies and kameo.

such a shame compared to goldeneye, star fox 64, original perfect dark, banjo

but hey maybe the new banjo will be great right?

and maybe banjo and kazooie didn't borrow everything it had from mario 64?

no. Ratchet and Clank and Mario are the best platformers around. Banjo could be the next donkey kong (sad as that is to say)

meaning a parody of its former self.

So the Wii will let me play games that I've already played 10 years ago?

Awesome

Wow this is sad for lemmings. While they grasp for straws to bash a $600 system they can't afford that's selling at about the same rate, the Wii is clobbering the lemon's precious system.

You have to admit how wonderful the system has to be to have completely clobbered 360 sales in only 10 months.

Casuals? You can't really be that subjective when they're buying up the system regardless. 10+ people don't seem to lie.

And it doesn't break down either, so no excuse for that. The wii is always getting a plethora of games, even minigames are selling out your precious 3 year in the making fps'. lol

Say who? Name one title on the Wii that will outsell Halo 3? I can only assume that is your meaning. English is not your friend.

LEGEND OF ZELDA TWILIGHT PRINCESS has already sold almost 5 million copies as much if not more than gears of war

WII PLAY, WII SPORTS, sell more than Halo 3 will.

and if you don't watch out

Super Smash Bros Brawl will outsell halo3 in the long run

halo 3 will sell like 4 million this year tops and then shimmer down.

it has a much smaller userbase than the xbox did when halo 2 came out.

Link to zelda at 5M?

:lol: At Wii sports and play selling more than Halo when they are pack ins.

First off im not a lemming, at one point i owned all 3 next-gen consoles.

But what is your point,I'm assuming you only own one next gen console and thats a wii, or your a ps3 fangirl that is basking in the success of wii because ps3 has not out-done 360 yet(sales wise).

I agree that 360 fangirls are a bit foolish IMO, but so are ps3 fangirls and so are wii fangirls.

First off 360 sold more than twice the amount of ps3's last month, and ps3 has never outsold 360 in a mont, and the only time it came close was the month after the $100 price drop.

And it's great the wii has had so much success, its great for the industry, but i would not call the console wonderfull, it was just a great marketing plan.

I bought a wii at launch, i got zelda,red steel and of course wii sports, i really enjoyed zelda but realistcly it was a gamecube game with waggle, im not a fan of the motion control, i found it boring to shake my hand back and forward or up and down to fight, theres no skill in that.

Red steel was terrible, i enjoyed wii sports for around a month, my family who have never played games also enjoyed it, but soon the novelty wore off and nobody wanted to play the wii.

So after not turning it on for 2-3 months i decided i needed some new games, i bought mario strikers,mortal kombat,raym-man and rented several games like super monkey ball,wario,cod 3 and a few others, i didnt enjoy any of them, cod3 felt bad compared to the sub-standard 360 version, monkey ball and wario were good for a week or two while it kept people interested in playing the wii, mortal combat was boring.

I spent more time playing vc games than actual wii games.

And finally i sold the wii on ebay because i felt like i had been ripped-off, to me i bought an expensive gamecube with waggle, i had not played anything in another 3 months and while searching for new games i realised theres only one single game announced i want to play and thats mario galaxy, and my sister has a wii so i can borrow hers, but other than that there was not another wii game that interrested me.

Mini-games-ps2,psp ports and a few decent first party games.

I am pleased nintendo brought casuals into gaming, but overall i doubt wii will win the console war, wii has already dropped dramitcly in sales over the last two months in japan, and i think the same will happen in the other continents some time next year.

And mini-games, infact no wii game will outsell halo 3, your sayingmini-game games areoutselling halo 3, one halo is not even released yet and two halo 3 has had over 2 million pre-orders.

Wii owners keep saying since the wii doesnt have super hd graphics dev's will concentrate on amazing game-play, where is the next-gen amazing gameplay, i have failed to find it, all i see is ps2 ports and mini games, last gen games with waggle.

This is just my opinion like that seemed to be yours(it seemed more like an un-informedfangirl rant to me).

PS3/Xbox 360 and a high end pc will do for my next gen gaming needs, oh and also to borrow my sister's wii for the only wii game worth noting, "a plethora of games" more like a ton of crap games and 3 good ones.

I will take quality over quantity anyday of the week, i will take beautiful next-gen graphics and gameplay over sub-standard ps2 graphics, i will take brilliant online features over friend codes that barley get used anyday of the week.

if you're really into games why did you sell a system with it only being out for 6 months?

it has a great life ahead of it.

you will regret that soon.

We will see. I think Halo 3 will sell more than 4 million. Just have to wait and see. Wii Sports doesn't count though. It comes with the Wii here and in Europe. You really should only count the sales in Japan. But whatever makes you happy, I will be too busy finishing the fight!!!

I'm surprised that nobody ever shows Fire emblem as an example. It has one of the best battle system you can ever play and I don't know anything that can beat its storyline. Path of radiance was a great game, radiant dawn will also be one.

How is it damage control when Wii outsold all the consoles? That's statistic fact. More like you are in damage control by saying the others are in damage control. lol

You get it for 5 bucks when you buy a Wii mote, it's a pack in.

So is the collectors edition of Halo a pack-in then?

Lame.

No, I just use XBLA to download new games, you know, Like Geometry Wars and Catan.

And at least the games on retro games are updated with online functionality, which is more than what I can about the Wii VC

In your opinion. Man I have owned the last 4 generations of nintendo consoles. But unless my wife really wants one, which I doubt(she is addicted to her DS), I will have no use for the Pii Wii. It offers nothing that appeals to me.
