All of the games you mentioned only interest the traditional 15-35 wealthy male gamer, which isn't exactly a huge, mainstream market, especially at $280/$350/$450, $400, $500, and with $60 games, online-transaction based benefits, not to mention the fact that for many the only noticable reason to go next gen is for increased experience, and we're reaching a point of rapidly diminishing returns.

Wii simply took over the interface revolution begun by games like Guitar Hero

the answer is already given
but you could have come up with it yourself if you would have thought three seconds about it before making this topic

all those people buying the wii or having a wii bought for them, don't care about those lists of yours as much as you do



u don't get the point what games does wii offer compared to ps3 n xbox 360?

If it passes 20,000,000 and is still selling at its high rate I am confused.

If people bought their systems only for games then PS3 would be in a much worse position than it is now.

Atleast the Wii’s got Zelda, Metroid prime and SMG. All of them above 90 in metacritics score. PS3 just has Uncharted and R&C (89 cos nothing exclusive >90) and 3 games available of the 360. Meanwhile the 360 has Gears, bioshock, Halo, Forza, Mass effect and MP’s like Graw , Orange box,R6V,GH2,burnout,VF online, that play better on the 360.Not to mention the Wii and the 360 has “cult classics” such as Wii sports, Dead rising and crackdown.

So if people bought their system based only on good games, then PS3 should be selling only on the backs of Uncharted and R&C (both s/w were abysmal). So basically if people wanted Nintendo games, they should have picked the Wii and if they wanted more mature games, they should have picked the 360. So why did, nearly, half a million people buy a PS3 last month?

Yeah, hardcore gangstas like you can't comprehend the Wii's success.

Did I miss something here.

Did bushkadash just insult his own topic?

Something seems amiss here.
