[QUOTE="HeedleGlavin"][QUOTE="karicha9"]So you would call those people at the retirement homes that play the Wii gamers?karicha9

Let's get back on-message, folks. Wii is for selling to non-gamers. Once a person has purchased a Wii, they are potential targets for Wii software. That reduces the problem to one of creating software that these demographics will purchase.

Please don't call them Ninty. *gag*

I'll definitely agree with you on the impact of those titles.  On the other hand, I'm surprised that you didn't remember that Trauma Center is published by Atlus, and that Cooking Mama is similarly 3rd party.

Nintendo will not rely upon third parties to do this thing for them.  Satoru Iwata knows that it is necessary and that Nintendo needs to do it - this point was the conclusion of his remarks at E3 2006.

On the other hand, they don't need to do it yet.  They can't take too long about it, but right at the moment it would actually be counter-productive.  Creating further demand for a supply-constrained product is far from optimal.

[QUOTE="afdevil24"]So basically all sheep care about is sales and are blind to the mediocre graphics the Wii is pumping out.karicha9

It's not so much inanity as it is displacement activity, I think.

These threads warm the cockles of my heart. The cockles, I tell you.

Actually, they don't so much warm them as make them flap a little faster.  But you get the picture.

HDMI cables are WAAAY more expensive than $10

more like $60-$100

No, to be fair, it is extremely easy to find ludicrously expensive HDMI cables.  Just go to Circuit City or Best Buy and look for the "Monster" brand.

I don't think Microsoft should talk when they have THIS game on their console.

vs entire Nintendo games. I don't even want to list them anymore.

3rd party games are the easy answer of what others think about them. For example... SIMS: Wii. That pretty much explains what other game developer's view of their reputation. Thats right, kids' favorite. Cartoon.

*BZZZ*  I'm sorry, that's incorrect.  The correct answer is, "An attempt by a major American software publisher to extend their most successful games franchise to the Japanee market."

That should be obvious...

If all your Major competitors are selling them @ $100.00 a pop why on earth would you sell yours for $10.00 and loose $90.00 profit ? Its all buisness.

Exactly.  Why include a cable that costs $3 to make if you can sell it separately for $60?

That's a very immature way of conceding an argument.
