I've got a Wii and a PC what does that make me?Metroid_Time

Stop killing the game industry :evil:

Put your Wii aside and tell everyone to game on PC only including yourself, then hardcorez like me be very happy :)

Using VG Chartz numbers, the Xbox 360 has 20 games that have sold at least one million copies, and the Wii has 8 such titles. These "million sellers" paint a picture of the system, and give an indication of the taste of the owners of such consoles. These games are also become the titles that publishers seek to emulate when deciding what games to release. Without further ado, here is the complete list of games for each system, along with the Gamespot review score for each:

Xbox 360

• Gears of War (9.6)
• Call of Duty 2 (8.8 )
• Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (9.2)
• Eldar Scrolls IV: Oblivion (9.6)
• Rainbow Six: Vegas (9.1)
• Madden NFL 2007 (7.9)
• Call of Duty 3 (8.8 )
• Fight Night Round 3 (8.3)
• Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (8.1)
• Crackdown (7.8 )
• Dead Rising (8.4)
• Guitar Hero 2 (8.9)
• Perfect Dark Zero (9.0)
• Saints Row (8.3)
• Need For Speed: Most Wanted (8.4)
• Need for Speed: Carbon (7.6)
• Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 (8.7)
• Splinter Cell: Double Agent (8.5)
• Project Gotham Racing 3 (8.8 )
• Forza Motorsport 2 (9.2)

Number of games: 20

Nintendo Wii

• Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (9.1)
• Super Paper Mario (8.8 )
• Mario Party 8 (6.5)

• Red Steel (5.5)

Number of Games: 8
Average Score: 7.49

Number of AAA: 1
Number of AA: 3
Number of A: 1

These numbers are the cold facts, how we interpret the games on each system, and the categorization of each are up for debate, however, frankly, the million seller list for each system speaks for itself. What are your thoughts?

From the two list, it looks to me like Wii has a good balancebetween casual/hardcore games. It has games that can possibly be enjoyed by anyone, such as Wii Sports. Looks to me like it's a game that tries to target everyone, to provide simplistic fun. Mario Party also a good family oriented game, very well suited for the kids and adults. Plenty of simple games and slightly more complex game on the Wii list.

As for the XBox 360 games, looks to me like they are mostly targetting teens, young adults and adults (males, not female), AND they have this "American" feeling to them. As you can see and quite shockingly, most of these XBox 360 million seller's were bought by people in the US, even if you add up the number of games purchased by the rest of the world, US sales still win in a LANDSLIDE.

My conclusion is that XBox 360 games (the better selling ones), don't seem to have that "everyone" appeal to them. XBox 360 games are in a niche market so to speak, compare to how the top Wii games are selling.

I don't want to comment on the score too much, simply because scores don't mean much. You can say that since the average score of these XBox 360 games is one point higher than the average of these 8 Wii games, XBox 360 gamer's gaming taste is one point higher, or something like that? Or Xbox 360 gamer are smarter? If that's the case, the people who never played Zelda: OOT, a game that scored perfect 10 here, their gaming taste are worse than those who played Zelda: OOT? Who wouldn't want to play Zelda: OOT, it scored a freaking 10!! But apparently, most gamers didn't, but all this comparing scores stuff is kinda irrelivent, when you are looking at a list of many games, especially when manyWii games are targetting many different group of people, unlike most of these best selling XBox 360 games.

Err..... I hope I can hear from all those people who kept on saying Wii and casualsare killing the industryand "true gamers", you must support me !!!

Where did all these "gaming elitist" go? No cemment? They all went to bed? C'mon, I dedicated all my time playing hardcore games even this late AND posting, I am the only true hardcore gamer?

Casuals are killinggaming, gaming as we all know, should be very hardcore and epic.All those great looking games that involve gun and weapons of some sort, are particularly great!

If that's true, then we should all dump our consoles and go get some nice gaming PC's, maybe not dump them, but put them aside at least. Why gaming PC you ask? Superior hardware, better graphics, better physics possible, etc. All game developers should convert into making PC games and stop wasting time with inferior and weaker consoles. Before we talk about how gaming PC can be costly, I know HDTV's and good setup's and all those other things can be expensive too, I assume if you are really that "hardcore", spending money on a good pc and buying one less HDTV sounds like great deal?

You know what's really greatwith PC gaming only? If without consoles, all those developers who usually make console games will have no choice but to make games for the PC. As a result, we can still play all those great games on our gaming PC and most importantly, they will all end up looking better on PC !!! Isn't it great?

Before any wise guy tells me that I am stupid because for example, if there's no PS3 and XBox 360, so SqEnix can only make FFXIII for the PC and Bungie can only make Halo for PC,soall these gamesbecome less popular, harder for some people to have access to it, sothey don't sell as well as whatthey could have sold, you know what? Who cares about sales? Who cares about making money? Who cares if the industry will become smaller and going niche? Who cares about how expensive gaming PC can be? If you are "teh true hardcore" and "not some cheap guy that can only afford a Wii", I am sure you can figure out a way to get a gaming PC to play all those games. So at the end, casuals will be eliminated (thank god !!!), only the ultimate true hardcores will remain, then the gaming world will be perfect, no more shovelware FTW !!! Who cares about how much companies make or lose or the industry becoming smaller because casuals are eliminated? As long as "I" get to play all these games that "I" want, who cares about others? Screw them !!!

See what I did? I came up with a perfect solution to eliminate all the casual that we self-proclaimed hardcore gamers all hate. Video games should get great scores here on gamespot and be hardcore, we cannot accept anything that's not great quality, let's start a true revolution!!

me = owned :?:shock::x:(:cry:

PS3 is beating 360 in March, maybe not the Wii, but the 360. People still putting the PS3 low in sales are just being ignorant. The reason it was so low before is because there were no major releases.

 

Anyway I say PS2 wins because of GOW2.

Don't get your hopes too high on PS3 beating XBox 360, prepare to be disappointed ;)
