If wii was HD? what if ps360 had motion controls?

also, it doesn't take 3 years to make a wii title. Capcom had a chance to make something for the wii that would rival resident evil 5 by now...and they are making a half assed port of dead rising. This was announced well after wii got the majority share. Im not saying that wii support wont pick up...but we are 2 years in here...and this christmas season there will be a huge drought of 3rd party wii software.

Not every developer wants to downgrade their games only to have to put motion controls to offer something unique. Especially not the elite developers by the looks of things...as no 3rd party developer has even bothered to put their best teams to make something Wii specific.

So while I fully aknowledge wii is the #1 selling console...untill the industry leading people start making games on it, it is not an industry leader.

Also, all this "innovation always wins" bullshit is just that... Sega innovated more than Nintendo and Sony combined in the 16, 32 bit and 128bit console generations...and look where they ended up. How about Virtual boy? 64DD? Those were innovative products...

 

Monster Hunter 3

 

Also Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is the deepest and arguably the best light gun shooter ever made.

 

The Wii is the industry leader.

 

Why do you post this crap? 

Just to be sure, that was sarcasm, right? It isn't very obvious in text.

The console war is not over. Not by a long way. So the Wii is winning in sales. Does that mean that the other two consoles cease to exist? That they will now get 0 sales a week?

Just because there is a current winner, that does not mean:

1) It will always be the winner. There is a tiny chance that they will get sued for everything they own and go out of hardware. Very tiny. There is also a chance that Apple will make a console. There is also a chance that the world will explode the next time you say 'potato'.

more to the point,

2) THAT THERE IS NO COMPETITION LEFT. Firstly, the way you worded it was wrong. The console war is definitely not over, because there will be an 8th Gen. Believe it or not, soon people will be tired of the Wii. And PS3 and 360. Then we will have new consoles and Nintendo will not win again because who wants to pay an extra 200 bucks for 'high definition'? Certainly not the Wii's target audience.

At least 3/4 of Nintendo's loyal 20 million or so customers were probably revolted by the Wii and would not buy its successor, and for the reason i have stated, not many of the people who own Wiis will be queueing up to pay extra money for 'improved graphics' and 'hard drives'

I have no doubts that the battle is Nintendo's. But the war is FAR from over....

Anyway, secondly, the other two consoles are still giving the Wii some competition. And as many people have said, the war is between PS3 and X360 now because the Wii has done so well that it has its own 'hate club' of PS360 owners. Where was I? Oh yes, so we KNOW the Wii is doing well with its 'innovation' and 'fun'. No need to rub it in.

We PS2 owners weren't doing this to you last gen...

Were we?
