No one take this personally, but have you noticed that alot of the Wii game's sell like garbage unless they have the word "Wii" in them?
Just throwing that out there.

SSBB doing nearly 8mil is garbage? Zelda is almost at 5mil, and it's #9 (damn close to the PS3's top seller).

It's a little silly to compare any library with games that will end up being the top sellers of all time. You may as well say, "alot of videogames sell like garbage unless they're made by Nintendo." It holds more truth than your statement, anyway.

Apparently you didn't read it, I said "alot" not all.

How many hit PS or 360 games end in a number? You did not answer this question. I think that this is just as valid a point.

That's kind of an unfair comparison, because a lot of PS3s come bundled with a game and a Bluray movie.

Not my PS3 :(

So you got two games and five Bluray movies with it?

It came with no games and no Blu-rays but it only cost me $314ish.  I don't want to buy any Blu-ray movies anyway.  Blockbuster lets me rent Blu-ray movies at no extra cost.

Tons of games this gen are going to outsell a lot of high selling consoles. At least 6 Nintendo games will outsell Gamecube and XBox.

Sports
Play
Fit
Kart Wii
Nintendogs
NSMB

And Sports will probably outsell PS2, though not before DS and Wii do.

Whether Wii Play outsells, say, SNES, depends on if Nintendo changes their controller strategy after Wii Sports Resort... Wii Fit should pass Genesis and maybe N64... The other 3 should all beat XBox.



"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

Okay... then what was the point? The statement doesn't have much worth. I mean, you can then say "alot of PS3 games" sell like garbage, too.

It is rarely a this-gen game outsold another this-gen console that came out almost at the same time.

You can try to give another example between Wii,DS,X360,PS2/PS3/PSP, however you can't!
Nintendogs Vs PS3 is another good example....however it was too slow when compareing with Wii Play.

BTW, Wii Sports doesn't count.





Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

This is the best strategy that ever seen in Gaming Industry.

Maybe Sony should pack DS3 with LBP or something similar...

Lol arguing has already started. Guys calm down. A lot of people on this site have also bought this game for the cotroller.
Hell if there was a PS3/360 game bundled with controller it would also sell. Not as much but you get my point.
