Oh come on folks.  Drop this "Nintendo needs to make a slim like the PlayStation or the XBox" nonsense.  Nintendo INVENTED "teh Slims."

 

Everyone one knows Nintendo invented it. Even though it was done with the Atari 2600.


I actually went to someones house who had this a few months ago. I played a little Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. It was rad!

Hopefully they'll make a Wii redesign, without it Wii won't be able to resist until 2012 (or just with crazy bundles/price cuts).



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

Wait, that was just a straight-up 2600 slim?  I knew there were a million different Ataris, but I thought it had something different going on too.  That's pretty awesome.

I take back everything I ever said.  About anything ever.

NINTENDO SHOULD PULL A SLIM JUST LIKE ATARI DID!

Nice try, but Intellivision did it in 1983, a year before Atari.

@ Mr Puggsly: Even today, Kinect will sell for three-quarters of the cost of a Wii console. That will be a tough sell for an add-on.  Even at one-third adoption rate, you are looking at a market of less than 15 million units presently -- not enough for third-party developers to work on.  Plus, there is the audience mismatch between those who are most apt to appreciate controller-free games and those who traditionally play the Xbox 360. That will make marketing difficult.

Well its already climbing the preorder charts and interest seems to be high. Also, I predict the 360 and Kinect bundle will be a pretty big seller. I mean a 360, Kinect, and Kinect Adventures isn't a bad deal fo $299.

Would 15 million units be bad? The Wii Balance Board hasn't hit that and I still consider it a great success. The only reason the Balance Board doesn't get much software is because it has little potential for anything outside of work out games. But I don't expect big budget games on the Kinect anyhow. And hopefully MS won't let developers flood the market with shit games that barely take advantage of the hardware.

You really have no proof that its a mismatch for the current 360 audience. And it might be a great success at bringing new people to the 360. Who knows? But things aren't looking bad so far.

It's actually about twice that figure.  Wii Fit alone sold almost 23 million units and over half of the unit sales of Wii Fit Plus's 13 million are bundled with the Balance Board.

And I'd be highly surprised if Kinect makes it to 15 million units.

I didn't realize it was that high, which is amazing considering how useless and expensive the item is.

I think 15 million can happen but it would take several years.

It's not useless, it works perfectly to deceive women into thinking they are slimming down, so it's very useful to prevent anorexia!

I didn't even remember it, but I had the original one and it was a lot cooler! (and actually, despite being bigger, it had a slimmer shape, just like it happened later to XB360 and XB360 Short )
