Miyamoto's Mistake and what it'll cost the Wii

You are not very smart.

Wii Sports is currently the 3rd highest selling game of all time. By Christmas, or soon after it shall be the best selling game of all time.

Wii Play is currently 15th, and has a chance of making it to 2nd (behind Wii Sports) by the time it stops selling

Wii Fit is currently 34th (last time I checked) but is still selling incredibly. Could end in the top 10 easily

My point is, if you expected Wii Music to sell as well as these, you are a tool. So it is fact your mistake, not our God Miyamoto's. A game doesn't have to Be in the top 10 best selling games of all time for it to be a success.

Wii Music has only seen 2 weeks in Japan and 1 in America. Little bit early for judgements I would say.

Regardless, as to what it will cost Nintendo? nothing whatsoever. Animal Crossing will sell more by the end of its life than either LBP or Gears of War II

 

 You make one very good point here. Not selling as much as the other games in the Wii series cannot be a disappointment, as only 10 games are going to have sold that much.

Nintendo currently has 4 major titles out. Sport, Play, Fit and Mario Kart. Those are all going to end in the top 10 best selling console games ever.

Compare it do the DS. It has 6 major games out (sorry, AC:WW doesn't cut it). They are all going to end in the top 10 best selling handheld games ever.

If you look at those great sellers, they are actually pretty equal.

Wii Sports, Play and Fit are pretty equal to Brain Training, More Brain Training and Nintendogs.

Mario Kart Wii is equal to Mario Kart DS.

The only real difference so far, is that Super Mario Galaxy isn't going to cut it (it would need 14.9M to do so, and 17 if a Wii game other than the 3 Wiis and MK outsells it), while New Super Mario Bros. does.

 

And hasn't the DS become proclaimed as the best RPG librrary ever (or at least since SNES), and one of the greatest libraries?
