Soulxxx said: I would say "fade" is better term than "fail". I guess the sales peak of Wii will be in the end of year 2008. By then it'll be so cheap that majority of the people who were going to buy it at some point will also do so. By then Wii will have had many killer apps. However, I won't bet on the things you mentioned because I don't know how Nintendo will manage this generation. It doesn't matter how long the life cycle of Wii is because they make already profit on the hardware sales, so they could drop the price substantially before 2009 and make the sales boom for a short while. Then maybe the last wave of great Wii games will start to be developed. Fade is the word Hastings used.. interesting, isn't it? You're saying the Wii will have killer apps... How can they kill with lame graphics? Have you seen Marble Mania?? OMG. The graphics are ok for such title, but is it really worth a purchase??? Is it a Killer App?? I don't know... I do know that whatever killer apps you're talking about will probably also make an appearance on the PS3 or 360 first, and with the killer graphics and the fact that there are more GRAPHICS WHORES than GAMEPLAY whores out, I think they will sell better to the GRAPHICS WHORES.

I think I will have to start writing this in my signature so I don't need to write this every time the graphic nerds start screaming: A killer app = A game that sell system Wii Sport sells system = A game that sell systems Wii Sport = A killer App Did it go to fast for you? I can do one more example A killer app = A game that sell system Brain Age = A game that sells systems Brain Age = A killer app. Killer app has nothing to do with Graphics it has with SALES! (if you don't want to look at Nintendo products) Buzz = a game that sells system (in EU at least) Buzz = killer app.
