Uhm...PDF: NES was going into a dead market, PSX was going into a Nintendo dominated market, Wii was going into a Sony dominated market, Apple was going in a Microsoft dominated market and orange juice is still rivaling beer and wine, so what?

Umm lets see. Does the Wii have COD4? no Assasins Creed? no Halo 3? no MGS4? no UT3? no GTA4? no. Most games the ps3 and 360 will see the wii will not. Only real games you have are Nintendo made. Also if oyu want to compare to wii games you can throw in ps2 and xbox games seeing how they are graphically the same. |
Lord...What fool's these hardcore be.
Those games have never attracted a large following, you wish for gaming to remain niche, you are what is wrong with gaming today, and if left to you gaming would wither and die, all the games you have noted are of little interest to the markets at large, that is why your analysis fails
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Now wait some years till you grown up and you´ll realize a good videogame has to be astounding, creative and crazy to entertain - and you´ll see how great it feels to play those games with the eyes of a casual gamer.
Gaming has to be fun. there are no "real" games and non-games like you said. Gaming is about fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. Got it? Fun.
As long as you have fun playing your games they are just perfect for you.
Now tell me you don´t like a certain game but please let me and millions of people in this world the reason they bought a videogame console: Fun.

Your new avatar looks good. Fresh but recognizable.

I believe the Market was dong just fine without the Wii. It Continues to grow and did so without the Wii. The games i have named are diverse and have attracted many. Maby alone they answer a niche but together they = a whole fanbase. |
You are quite the joke character. You should post under your real account instead of this smurfy one using your fine wry sense of humor. You usually keep it so well hidden.

lol, actually the market was not growing fst enough, growth was due to pop growth and not capturing new markets, but costs were growing fast, and gaming was becoming more and more narrow, evetually such a market would collapse, Wii prevented that by exploding the market wide open

The market didn´t grow if you go by year-to-year sales since the release of the PSX it just looks like it grew because the PS2 is in its 7th year. The games i have named are diverse and have attracted many. Maby alone they answer a niche but together they = a whole fanbase. You really think those games attracted 120 million people in the PS2´s life? Many casual gamers bought a PS2, the Wii only broadens this audience that´s all. Without casual gamers our beloved gaming would be a small, very small market. |

You could look at that both ways. If it so good then why are people willing to sell their wii's. My friend already sold his. Also alot of those are bought up by parents who want to buy their spoiled kid the perfect gift.

actually minus 2 titles there, most people will be playing those games on the PC.
PC = a trillion times better then Consoles =D

Because they are making so much money off Ebaying them?
Also your second point doesnt actually mean anything, does it matter if they are gifts?
"You could look at that both ways. If it so good then why are people willing to sell their wii's."
Because Wii´s are sold for 400$ on Ebay?
"My friend already sold his."
Obviously. And you didn´t see those PS3´s on ebay, right? So why do people sell them?
