The wii would have been as successful with or without MS. The reason it is selling well is because it offers novelty - it's bringing in a segment of the market that was untapped in the past. Lots of people that haven't gamed before are getting the wii. Also the fact that it's close to 200$ cheaper than the 360 and moreso than the ps3 helps.
But the novetly will only get it so far. It needs some games and needs them badly.
[QUOTE="gnutux"]I can tell you that in my high school, the Wii and the XBOX 360 are the only two systems ever talked about. No one cares about the PS3. Only a couple will shun you. The PS3 is a gonner, even when people were selling it at my school during launch, no one bought it off the hustlers. gnutux-Daddy-
is your highschool some kind of tech school only for nerds ? in my highschool people only talk about drugs, sex and music.
he didn't say that's all they talk about. he said that when video games are being talked about, it's only about 360 and wii. get it straight.
[QUOTE="afdevil24"]I don't really want to start a flame war, but this whole NPD thing is stupid. I could care less about how much Wii, PS3, or Xbox360 sell. I could be the only one on the world with a 360, and I'd still be enjoying the games as much. Can you we stop using sales figures as ownage? We know Japanese people are crazy over Wii/DS, we also know they hate Xbox360, so stop using that argument also. Thnx :)ScalIywag
However when Xbox 360 was only console out and selling well, you did care. Right?!?

If you were the only one with a 360 in the world, you wouldn't have games to enjoy.
i would make them myself. j.k
Well, quite honestly, it is kind of refershing for a Nintendo Home Console to be selling so well and why shouldn't we, we have been pwned by the same thing for so long, all we know is sells = good product and people like the product which we so aggressivly endorse. Its not like the lemmings or cows are any more mauture about anything.Lefund
i jsut think it's kind of weak but there is no convincing sheep is there;)
well we all know the 360 was released a year before the ps3 and wii. what do you think are some of the pro's and con's of this? please list both (because there are both pro's and con's of this decision)
