You said the Wii wasnt a proper game machine? So whats a proper game machine?

zarshack

It is and it isnt, you are taking it out of context. The Wii really isnt a "proper" game machine like a PS3 or a 360, in the sense that its use goes beyond just gaming. It is used for all sorts of things which make it more then a game console. The problem is that the amount of games which suite the people who have been playing Nintendo systems since NES have seriously gone MIA, atleast this is true in my case.
I'm sure there are lots of people who dont mind going for years without any AAA titles.


If we want to be technical you are correct about it being a proper game machine because it indeed plays games, but there is obviously a HUGE difference between the type of machine the Wii is, and what the PS3 and 360 are. Also by what i said PC isnt a proper game machine due to its many uses,why didnt someone throw that at me? it would have been far better ownage.

My statement was indeed a bit poor in describing what i meant, esspeccially if you ignore the second part of the sentance. You cant deny the Wii is different, it is unlike any game console we have ever had. The way i see it at the moment i feel nintendo are very happy with selling it as a fitness machine to the casuals who may decide to buy new super mario bros. Wii or some other mario games.

I mainly drew my conclusion about it not selling as a real game machine from how low the sales are for The legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (5.5 Mill for the Wii) compared to all those other high seller titles. I feel that any gamer who had been with nintendo from the begining would buy Zelda if they got a Wii. I know i bought my Wii first week it was out along with TP.

I would say more but Walls of text arent enjoyable. good day.

I'm confused? The Wii is not a gaming machine, because it just plays games? The PC is not a proper gaming machine because it does other applications?
But the PS3 and 360 are gaming machines because they go beyond gaming?

P.S; I didnt know 5.5 mil copies of a game sold was bad? Whats a good amount to sell? 20 or 30 mil?

How does it mainly sell as a fitness machine? The only long term high selling fitness game on the Wii is Wii Fit... Other than that the charts are topped by games like Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and others like that.

I think you need to recheck your facts and stop making such blind fanboy statements.

That would be like me saying the PS3 only sells as a Bluray player despite the fact that anyone can check any of the charts and see clearly games are truly selling.

zarshack

ROFL yeah im a blind fanboy, too bad i've owned a Wii since the first week of its launch. Wiifit has sold over 20 million copies and Wii fit plus has sold over 9 million. thats almost half the Wii Userbase worth. Thats higher then any other game besides Wii sports.

Please explain what your point is?

[QUOTE="nini200"][QUOTE="Ants2k1"]The TC is not talking about the actual fitness thing, he's talking about the camera thats used.zarshack

Thank goodness somebody with sense responded. I knew they'd say what they did too. Zarshack, what is a proper gaming machine? I didn't know there were different types. Tatsunoko vs Capcom (Awesome game with Awesome Online Play btw - virtually lag free) and No More Heroes 2 show that it is a great system and still have lots more great titles on the way. Anyway, this ain't about the games, it's about the camera technology for the game using full body motion as the controller just like Natal uses it's camera that uses full body motion as the controller.

Something that doesnt sell mainly as a Fitness Machine. i didnt say wii had no games, but it is making most of its money not from gamers but from people who want to use it for this sort of thing.

Anyways, it looks like Nintendo is ahead of the game.

Maybe they should actually advertise their games so people know about them?
