the wii is not counted because its not an interesting part of the race, we all know where the wii is headed. so why talk about it? where the race could still change is the 360/ps3 much like last gen the xbox/gc was what was fun to talk about, because every one new neither would beat the ps2

 

In other news, MS Zune wins the NA music market!!!!!

The MS Zune crushed other portable music players from Creative and Sony to claim the NA crown.  All hail the champion! (IPod sales do not cound because thye are winning, therefore not interesting to me.)

 

i think you missed the point. The point is its accepted the Wii is cleaning house...so why even debate its sales compared to the other two when its just going to be the same old same old. The variables and competition between the 360 an dPS3 can still be healthy and fun whereas teh Wii isnt going to be touched....

Go to the nintendo forums and have your circle jerk if you want it, but when discussing numbers its stupid to argue and debate "wow the wii is fantastic" "Nuh, uh the wii is GREAT" "nuh uh teh wii is super duper" Wii is cleaning house. its not interesting or fun to debate competition when there is none.

Actually, you and goddog are missing Steven787's point of ignoring the Wii in all of this such as for developers (missing out on profits) and fanboys because... they are fanboys.  :)

 

so you want to shift arguments now, okay if there were two qestions up there, i can go for the second one.  for developers, you need look no further than high profile games such as cod:waw and madden to see why they are not getting more high profile games. devs will continue to test out the waters trying to figure out what works in terms of major 3rd party games, but until they find that formula, you are going to see lots and lots of shovelware, that has worked for them. things like carnival games.

this is the same thing you see on the ds, it took along time for the ds to get menaingfull 3rd party games to work out, most of which are rpgs, i feel the wii will do very well on this end too.  honestly i think the wii would do very well with classic side scrollers being remade for it, because the ds, and wii userbase overlaps tremendously. so there is a solution.

as for why the 360 and ps3 keep getting the major 3rd party titles, look no further then the 360s million seller list, and then remember that a port ebtween these two consoles is fairly easy to do vs reducing the game for the wii. 

there you have it
