Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Is it Wii Bingo week or something? Wii - PS360 not competing...

Oh that was funny again.

With the current sales numbers, these kind of opions are expected to somehow counter them.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

The problem is that too many people want these to be totally separate markets... the argument is: give PS360 all the "real" games, and give Wii all the rest... Wii consumers are not even "real" gamers with "real" tastes, they will buy anything, even the worst cash-ins...

And i'm not only talkin' about so-called analysts and journalists, i'm talkin' about most 3rd parties as well: they DON'T WANT the Wii to have too many great games in ALL the existing genres out there... cos' then, it would be too dominant, and the userbase on PS360 would not be large enough for all their ultra-hyper-pricey PS360 projects... they want the PS360's success to not loose their "safe" investments, quite easy to figure out...

The lack of AAA 3rd parties games on Wii should have killed it, or at least weakened it, but no, it didn't happen that way... Wii's success is now soooo huge that after now two or three years of constant stupid comments all over the net ("Wii's a fad", etc, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseam...), the only exit these guys have left is... it's not in competition, it's not even a "real" console (gaaasp...)

I find it pathetic, and if this mentality is a reflect of the "real" gaming industry's mentality, then the gaming industry may just go to hell... serious...

The Wii doesn't cater to gamers? I thought that the Wii was the only gaming only console. My feeble non-gaming mind must not get it. He did say that the Wii is for people into gadgets so maybe he does have a point about me.

Christ, how long is the denial stage of mourning supposed to last, 10 years? It really should be at acceptance by now, this is just pathetic.



Persons without argument hide behind their opinion

Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated.

All I can think is that this is an attempt to pre-explain how one-sided the numbers will be when NPD comes out.

I love being called a "non-gamer" by people who weren't even born when I began to game!

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Actually, I want the time in my life back for going to PS3 extreme and reading the comments.

Too many fanboys. And if you disagree, they shout you down.

Yeah well if the Wii was in third place they would say “the poor Wii can’t compete with the big boys”

Like I said in the other thread, make up your minds.



I saw this last night and refused to post it. Fucking Google news. Since when did an editorial become news.

Benga hit on my biggest problem with something like this. If you discount the Wii, then the video game industry must have gone through a massive contraction since last gen. That makes absolutely zero sense.
