[QUOTE="IronMaidenLives"]It's the fear of fanboys for the Wii having success after having trashed it for so long. True it must be pretty humiliating for them.In other topics, when someone claims the Wii is winning, there are two common responses..
1) It is not a next-gen console.
2) Sales don't matter.
The latter is what baffles me. If there is such a thing as a console war, in which the company that sells the most consoles wins, then how can one think that sales don't matter?
Of course, one may have his/her opinions to which console is better. That is subjective. Personally, I cannot contribute anything to this because I do not own any of the current gaming machines. But if we are to think there is such a thing as a console war, then by all means the Wii is winning because we must go by what the sales charts tell us, and one does not need to own any of these machines to see this. Also, I am keeping this strictly to the three current major consoles. Not the DS, PS2, etc.
One more thing that must be noted is nobody has won anything yet. Even though the Wii is winning, it has not won. Vice versa with the PS3. It may not be selling as much but by no means has it lost.
Now we get to the former statement. I believe the Wii to be the official next generation Nintendo console. To say otherwise is unfounded. Some may say that because it lacks the power of the 360 and PS3, it cannot be. Are we to believe that Sony and MS set the standard for what should be considered a next-gen console? Does next-gen define itself by power or timeline? Or both?
Either way, have fun with your gaming machines.
God bless, Maiden out.

[QUOTE="fatzombiepigeon"][QUOTE="Tylendal"][QUOTE="fatzombiepigeon"]The Wii has EA behind it. There was an article a few months ago.[QUOTE="Tylendal"][QUOTE="fatzombiepigeon"]Yes, meanwhile, the 360 already has major third party backing. And it's still growing. I don't care if the Wii outsells the 360, the developers are more than willing to work with the 360 for numerous other reasons.Tristam22
EA also supports the 360. And so do many other third party developers.
If you look up the article, EA's ambition is to be the second most productive developer for the Wii (Nintendo obviously being the first)I know. They're doing a great job implementing Wii controls. But they also support the 360.
Hopefully his point is that yes, while 360 (and PS3) are getting fantastic support, the Wii is also. The 360 and PS3, after all, are not constantly bashed for a lack of third party support, but the Wii is. In the article I linked on the previous page, you can see that id is also interested in bringing some of their brands to the Wii, so we can at least expect some companies outside of Nintendo to push the system's graphical capabilities to the limit. Personally, the confirmation of the new NiGHTS sequel has me excited, and I'm just waiting for Ishii to confirm a Mana title for the Wii (he expressed interest last year).oh that would be sooooooooooooooooooooosweet. It's pretty much inevitable when considering Wii's success in Japan.All the Wii hate these days seems to be either;
1. senseless bashing (teh graphics are PSP!!),
2. delusional fanyboy hopes that the Wii will fail in the future (teh fad!!! :cry: ),
or
3.embarassing attempts at anecdotal evidence (my friends at skool like teh PS3 better!)...
the pathetic last whimperings of fanboys who cant come to terms with its dominance.
[QUOTE="IMuGGeDSaTaN"]There is no proof that the demand wont die out. And people in my school either have a PS3 or 360 not any Wii's. And I play 360 with alot of kids from other schools around. Our gamestop manager says there in demand but noone wants umm. All the schools agree that they dont want umm yet there for some reason in demand. I dont get it.SpruceCaboose
There is demand but no one wants them? Kinda Oxymoronic huh?
By the way, the only thing worse than speculation is anecdotal evidence, so you lose there buddy. And its "them" not "umm". Even "em" would be superior to "umm".
All the Wii hate these days seems to be senseless bashing, delusion fanyboy hopes that the Wii will fail in the future, or embarassing attemtps at anecdotal evidence... the pathetic last whimperings of fanboys who cant come to terms with its success.[QUOTE="dustin-diamond"][QUOTE="IMuGGeDSaTaN"][QUOTE="SecretPolice"][QUOTE="dustin-diamond"]Not damage control - just feel it's unfair to compare a hand held ( small enough and the graphics - lol ) to full blown this gen consoles ! See what I mean? ;) lol pwned!!!!!!!!lmao worst attempt at ownage Ive ever seen. Sounds to me like you are " whistling past the grave yard " but that really does'nt work - you still look scared - LMAO;)Graveyard is that place where consoles who get crushed in sales go... like the 360 or PS3 for instance.TASTE IN GAMES = SUBJECTIVE
The only true winner of SYSTEMWARS is defined by which console wins the sales battle.
Cows and Lemmings are obviously in severe, mass damage control
