Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Sega: Wii Is "The Most Expensive Board Game On Earth"

http://kotaku.com/5079135/sega-wii-is-the-most-expensive-board-game-on-earth
"I think on one hand the Wii has become the most expensive board game on Earth - it's the kind of thing that families will play at Christmas, and probably won't play again throughout the remainder of the year. So things like Wii Sports, Wii Fit to a certain extent, that's great. "

I think it's pretty much true, at least for me.



Around the Network

While there are actual gamers that play wii daily...infact im sure some will post on this topic blasting sega for saying this...

From a marketing perspective, this is mostly true.



Inc WDF !
Only question is who of RoI, Trestres or FishyJoe will post first !



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

@Ail LOL.




The wii boys are going to get mad about this, even if ithas a lot of truth in it.



Around the Network

Well... the attach ratio and how well the Wii software sells (a lot lot more than the PS3) proves that that is not true.

=p

In fact, if you take into account the attach ratio of the Wii with that huge install base, compared to the PS3 install base and attach rate, a lot more people are playing the Wii than the PS3.



Too bad they only realized this after they became the publisher for The Conduit.  Maybe there is still time for them to back out, or convert it to a family game in time for next Christmas.

 Truth? Did you read the article about the Wii attach ratio?



You can count me out of buying anything Sega for awhile. They have produced nothing but shit for awhile though. Do they even own 2k Sports anymore or did 2k break off from Sega or stop producing titles under Sega?



It's unfortunate that the number of software sales don't support his supposition. Otherwise, he'd have a legitimate point. However, looking at software sales and attach rates pretty much blows his argument away.

Are there people who put the wii down after a while? Absolutely. Of course, the same can be said about all 3 consoles.
