I am not a hater, but Wii is not moving software

You can't be serious with that part, right? you compare the sales of Last Gen software with sales of the current gen and take that as a proof, install base has nothing to do with software-sales? That made you look stupid. Yeah... the bigger the install base, the worse the software-sales... That's why everybody wanted to release the software on the DC a few years ago, right?

 

Instead of telling others to be serious, why don't you act like a man and react on the graphs I posted. These are, as you demanded, official graphs from Nintendo/NPD.

I look forward to your reaction.

 

We've been having this discussion all week.  Those graphs show that the Wii doesn't sell 3rd party games very well.  The only 3rd party big sellers are Carnival Games, Game Party (?!?!), Mario and Sonic (still Mario, though), and Guitar Hero.

We Ski and Legos have done fairly well.

Otherwise it's wasteland of 300k-selling games on an install base of HOW many? 

 

But it's not the Wii's fault.  It's developer/publishers/marketers AND Nntendo's (and they don't much care at this point - they prefer the percentage being tilted toward first party, obviously).  No one can come up with an original IP game that breaks out on this platform?  You can argue Carnival Games is, technically, but be real - it's Wii Play/Sports in a diffferent box.  We Ski is, I guess.  (I don't know what Game Party is, but it sounds like more mini games.)

 

But where are sales for Boom Blox, and Sam and Max, and Zack and Wiki, and No More Heroes etc. etc.?
