| --OkeyDokey-- said: Why are we arguing about games in a hardware sales thread? Wii has better sales, HD consoles have better games. Both fanboy factions need to learn to deal with those facts. |
I would have thought people would understand that people have different opinions about the merits of each console's game line-ups. Personally, I prefer the Wii line-up of 2008 to that of PS3/360. People argue about this because they think everyone has the same mind and experience as they do, it would seem. No matter how many reasonable people say that good is a subjective opinion you still get the same idiotic arguments about 'why the Wii sells,' 'this line-up is far superior' and so on.
It's pretty clear that the Wii is selling to a larger variety of people than the other machines and that it is because of the variety of games on offer. So, it is because of the game line-up. Some people bought it because of sports/fit, but others buy it because of Galaxy/Metroid, still others will buy it for Animal Crossing, as well as the fact that it is marketed on the style of play rather than some pictures of the in-game graphics. There are many other reasons for it selling well - original price point helped start it off, for example and now it has built up a brand recognition level that helps it to sell at record levels.
Yes.
