mario/zelda/pokemon = nintendo


MGS/COD/GTA = third parties ...


Thanx proving I was right ^^

That makes no sense. Why does it matter if they are 1st or 3rd party?

Sigh.. You're obviously just trying to cause a reaction here.

OK...

First when you say 200M SW, I guess you count wiisports and wiiplay. I'm sorry but you cannot count them with the total softwares (they are both bundled), so it makes 150M. So it's not 1/5 but between 1/3 and 1/4 of the SW sales.

Then, you say most ps3 gamers want their COD, wrong, COD4 was the only one that had so much success, it's pretty new. And, much more important, brand new IP's had great success on ps3, unlike the wii.


You know, I don't wanna destroy the wii, I don't care, but the fact is that nintendo gamers are more difficult to "move". It feels like they always want their new mario or their new metroid or wathever. Just look at this site, it's always "when is the new zelda or the new mario launched".

Nintendo created powerfull video games icons, but it may be a problem. The thing is, when you buy a nintendo console, people wanna play nintendo games, nothing else.

Well here in France it's in the Wii charts in shops. I know Amazon isn't a great indicator, but on Amazon France, Disaster is right now at #39 in videogames department, and #9 top selling Wii game. In comparison, Quantum of Solace, which charted in VGChartz top, is currently ranked #70 amongst best selling Wii games...

@ tremble

in that case we should count out from the PS3s Sw totals MGS and Uncharted and many other games, because they are still bundled. You catching on boy?

Don't use stupid arguements, especially if we can throw them right back at you.

 Bran new IPs didn't have success on Wii? Are you kidding me? The best selling single-play non-bundled console game this gen is a new IP! Wii Fit.

What Brand new IPs have had a huge success on Ps3? In the top 15 of sales, there are 3. Motorstorm, Resistance, and Assassin's Creed.

Do the same for Wii. Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, Carnival Games and Big Brain Academy (new IP this gen, and first on console. You can choose not to count this if you like.

My point with CoD and those, was that 3 franchises on Wii were about equal.

I'm also greatly against not counting Wii Play and Sports. They are both games, and according to the Nintendo channel, Wii Sports is averaged 40 hours of play, and Wii Play 15 (I believe). Obviously, this takes people away from buying other games. Discounting them is stupid.

Why is it a problem that they buy Nintendo games? Third parties still sell as much as they do on Ps3 and X360, but at a lower development cost. I don't think they care that there is a Nintendo game that outsells their game.

Also, looking at the Wii owners on this site and trying to make a trend from that doesn't work at all.

Edit: Whoops, I forgot. The number is 249M software shipped, so my 200M  sold seems a bit low, perhaps more ala 210M.

Don't you see the difference between a permanent bundle and a temporary bundle? Just a question...

First, I'm pretty sure Wii Sports isn't a part of that.  Second, you never even mentioned Wii Play.  You just said "Mario/Zelda/Pokemon."  Don't blame him for accurately responding to your post.  We've had this argument elsewhere and the issues with the claims you've made have been thoroughly explained.  This thread is not the place for it, though.  It is about Disaster: Day of Crisis.  Continue and I'll just report you for trolling.

There is no difference, a bundle is a bundle, no matter how you slice it. Consider also the fact, that Wii sports isn't bundled in all of the european countries and Japan selling more than 3 million copies in that country alone.

Just goes to show that you "intelligent" idea to not count wii sports is faulty. And don't even say a word about wii play, or should we stop counting Little Big Planet sales in Japan?

@tarheel: the statement was that disaster had no sales numbers. I gave MY explaination, if you're not ok with that, it's your problem, but calling what I said trolling is stupid.
