See, alot of those games are A) good, but not awesome B) ports C) Not yet out

I am not making fun of Wii or anything, but PS3 is exactly in the same position...yet PS3 gets made fun of. So Wii still has problems in my eyes.

PS3 gets hit harder, because of the reason you listed and it's not selling nearly as good as Sony anticipated, 6 million untis for one year on a Sony console is laughable. But see Wii is actually selling out, with its horrible library, so yeah, there you go.

Mass appeal is the key.

Soon, good hardware sales will equate to good third-party support. It would be silly as a developer not to put time and effort into releasing quality titles onto the system. Not to do so would be practically throwing money away.

Oh, and Wii has a horrible library? Maybe third party needs to pick up the slack, but as far as first party is concerned, I'd say releasing a major franchise game each quarter of the the year is pretty awesome, especially considering how sparsely they were placed with the Gamecube.

Finally, I'd like to add this. No one could have predicted that the Wii would have taken off as well as it has, including developers. One of the perks of having mass appeal is that your userbase contains the widest variety of tastes and preferences. That means developers ought to target all types of preferences with the Wii. Yes, there has been a lot of shovelware released on the Wii, but none of it has sold well (except for maybe that crappy carnival game).

So, what can we expect to happen? The same thing that happened to the DS will happen to the Wii. I sold my DS right before it boomed, and I still regret it. DS is getting a lot of quality software as well as casual games too, and there's nothing wrong with that. Developers just need to find the right balance (and how to utilize the potential of the Wiimote).

This rumor has already been debunked:http://gonintendo.com/?p=31332

12-player online is still in the works as of now.

i have no clue what nintendo's enemies is

when i first saw the wii i thought man this is ogin to sell worst then the gamecube an now its the fastest sellin console in history for a first year wowza yowand i still have no desire to buy one so this is all so weird for me.

so i thiunk too now that well maybe it had good hype an marketin an a triple a zelda ocarnia time styled launch game maybe it will burnout faster but like i said i was the same guy that thoguht this was going to bomb an wii-fit woulndt sell any copies

nintendo continues to prove me wrong but im still bankin on that this cant last there cant be this many ppl out there who continue to buy this when ias long tiem gamer who buys tons of gamin crap have no desire to buy one

You, sir, do not understand how casuals think. They want something that looks cool and is also approachable. A game like God of War is way too complicated looking to the ultra-casual crowd.

So very thought provoking.

That was deep TC....

Will the 360's '08 count match it's AAA count from the last 5 months?
Nope.
That sucks.

KingOfKonging

It'll get more AAA's in '08 than the Wii will.

Does that count?

Where can I purchase a crystal ball with such a level of clarity as yours?

Any crystal ball that displays the names of the announced games for '08 will do just fine.

ok fine guys he bought a wii back that still doesn't mean he knew he was going to have a wii from his friend when he sold it

the fact of the matter is he took cash to get rid of his wii without any backup plan to get a wii an just happened to get one from his brother for a cheap price afterwords so stillt echnically hates the wii cuz he sold it for 500 an stuff if he realy loved the wii he woulda just kept his own an stayed safe an kept all the memory an stuff in it alrdy :| so techinically he is lolsoing faith in the wii slightly an doesnt think its worth 500 bux

Hurrah for grabbing for straws!!

Don't you have something better to do?

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]

Yup BlackBond has sold his Nintendo Wii. I had three games four games for it.

1. Zelda Twilight Princess
2. Metroid Prime 3 Corruption
3. Super Mario Galaxy

Funny thing is, I didn't even bother playing Super Mario Galaxy. I never had time due to finals. Though the Wii has many good games out that I want which include....

1. Trauma Center New Blood
2. Fire Emblem Radient Dawn
3. Zack & Wiki
4. Super Paper Mario

But in the end. Everyone has their price, and thus the Wii was sold. At first I was hesitant to sell it but with an offer I got of $500 I say good ridance to the Wii. Its even better that I bought the thing again off my friends little brother who thinks it sucks for having less then 360 graphics. Eh well. Sold one Wii for $500 and bought another for $150.

So I gained a nice chunk of money while only losing memory saves from games that I've already finished. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I CONVINCED U TO SELL IT BRO U KNOW IT I KNOW T THIS FORUM KNOWS IT

it was my epic convincing OMGOMG I CANT BLEIVE THIS IN UR FACE WII FANS one of ur biggest fanboys has now left ur arena an joined the anti wii camp

You convinced no one! I award you no points... and... (who wants to complete it?)

Proven to be fake:

I have a Wii and PS3 but I love seeing Wii get made fun of, some people cant take jokes -_-. I still dont think the Wii is a toy, its just marketed to younger people i guess, its always funny seeing people compare all 3 consoles, the Wii always gets the least offensive label (poodle, kiddy ride, etc.)

shadyd1717

They are toys. I fail to see what there is to be made fun of.

The best day in gaming history would be the day that sony microsoft and nintendo work together and make one console, that way they can aim at every gamer-catogary, everyone can play ALL the releasing games (playing mario, mgs, killzone, halo and so on) N0han

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Do you know how expensive that console would be? Removing all of the competition out of the industry... preposterous!
