Forums - Gaming Discussion - What would you do if the Wii wins this generation?

Alvar on 14 April 2007

I wouldnt mind playing through Heavenly Sword on that list, seems like an entertaining game. Never played God of War, so cant answer for that sequel. The rest of the list seems pretty meh...

 Lair might be good, but seems a bit Nighty Nine Nights to me... not my cup of tea.

There are a few multiplatform games coming to the ps3 that looks good though, like assassins creed and GTA. But well... since I already have a 360 I might aswell get them there.

If Wii wins this generations I will probably play less games. It would mean that Sony would lose many of their big games. My favourites games would be stripped down and changed so the Nintendofans would enjoy them. I play less and less games now when this generation is over I have hopefully dont care about videogames. I dont like either how the game market is going dont like what Sony/Nintendo is doing and Wii isn´t really my thing.

What games do you like?


 75% of the games you listed are FPS, and i only like FPS when its on the PC.

i like games that are on the 360 or on the Wii. /evil laughter

Your powerhouse of a powerhouse PC cant touch my PS3 graphics wise, well unless you got a 52" HD monitor sitting on your desk.  Point being display matters.  Sure I could hook my PC to the TV via DVI ->HDMI adapter, but that would take a total furniture rearrangement and mean when I surf the web I am taking up my sweet TV too.  Its a minor point, but the "PC is the true graphics champs" get on my nerves.  And I am sure def jam icon would be real fun with a buddy crammed right up next to me trying to play me on my PC.  

 

little off topic but i wanted to get it out there and get my post count moving a little.

Huh. I thought I'd never see the day trhat someone is actually arguing that the PS3/360's graphics are better than the PC.

I think the Wii will, easily, and I already own a Wii and am happy w/ pick-up-and-play games so that's no problem. I'm still going to pick up a 360 probably late-this-year-early-next since there are a lot of games coming out I'll need to play (RE5, Fable2, etc.) Especially if MGS4 comes to 360 I doubt I'll ever get a PS3, at least not until they're ~$100.

Neos out of all of the games Kwaad mentioned only Killzone 2 is an FPS. Wii Wins: good: it has to sell more than the PS2 so that would mean more people are playing games. More games will be made cause the wii is super easy to make games on. bad: If games like FFXIV and GTAV come to wii they will be worse than their previous versions. Games will not take off online. We will not see episodic games. Games will be less emotional and less story drivin. Graphics would be unbarable for people with 50 inch or bigger TVs. We won't see any innovation in the games themselves. If PS3/360 Wins: Good: Episodic content will apear along with a lot of user made games giving the consumer more power in the industry. We will start to see games go more main stream, as we will have short downloadable games (episodic/TV shows) and epic games (Movies of the Gaming industry. Online will take off making games funner and bring the world closer together. People will begin to respect games as a thing for muture adults. Bad: None



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Wrong, bad, it'll convince Sony and MS that all they have to do is add more power and keep upping the price,

making gaming even more of a Niche product  and making it harder for independent devs to survive



 

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)

 I fully agree except for the episodic content. I haven't seen or heard anything of that nature for consoles...... do you  have some insider info you would like to share?

Well I guess i would Play the Good Wii games. I just want to compare a few things though like a Action movie or Epic I really like getting those on HD/Bluray format but Comedy and Cartoons regular DVD are fine.there will always be certain games that i would rather get on the PS3/360 than on a WII just like movies. Just because the Wii would sell the most and have the most backing still doesn't mean I myself wouldn't get bored with the Wii controls. I guess i would Play alot less games since I would be talking some steps back visually but I am sure some good RPG elements could be added to the Wii remote.

Wouldn't most game players want to get the system that gets the best games.....Why would anyone Hate Nintendo or Sony or Microsoft. They all have a good reason to buy one or the other or all 3. My money went first to where I know my favorite game will be..Metal gear, God of War, Devil may Cry, final Fantasy those were the game I know i will want. Halo was not a Big deal to me, but for many Halo Forza Oblivion and other games are the reason they chose the 360. If you chose a Nintendo it better be because you like Mario Zelda and Pokemon. If you choose a console for the games you know will be on it then you will always be happy with it. So why does it matter to you who wins the console war.

Lastly I never bought a console because it was the best selling(usually I buy the console way to early to see if it will "win" the console war) If you just buy the Wii(or any console) because thats what everyone else has you may very well be let down.

 


 uhm...

ther is a difference.

if you say that people choose on exclusives nintendo is again the winner.

not because of mario or zelda.

but for the wiimote...as touch is for ds,

gt vs forza

more of the same...

if people want a real driving simulation buy gtr2 for pc with a good wheel!!!

 

halo maybe is to consider a killer application. 

god of war...also

the real esclusives for sony or microsoft are few...

if i base on REAL esclusives first console to buy is a nintendo one..... 

an fps gamer probably buys a pc and a wii...

why spend 600+400$ for halo and resistance????

 1000$ for really few esclusives is really thing to meditate!!!

if third parties start to make good portings MAYBE wii could win this gen war...

 


I do not think the number of exclusives is what i was talking about...it is more about what those Exclusives offer. If you want to ride around an cars  with cartoony characters thowing god knows what at each other....or Play a fighting game that those same cartoony Characters beat the crap out of each other..or Play golf with those same Cartoony characters..then yes by all means Nintendo is definitly for you. I see that in the future most people can know what games they want to play. What i see coming from Nintendo does not really appeal to me. That means in no way does it suck it just means its not the system for me right now. For that reason a Higher priced 360 or PS3 is what will cater more to MY liking. I ended up Choosing a PS3 just because I would be kicking my self in the ass in 5 years if I never got the next Metal Gear, God of War or Final Fantasy...I am sure the PS3 is going to have games i like. the 360 will too, but for now I had to choose. But Wii really never crosses my mind as my main system. So really with so few games out for PS3 right now i still play it way more than the Wii (Zelda or Metroid might change that a little)
