| Squilliam said: @bigjon its probably only "well written" to you because he agrees with your view point. Theres far too much internet speculation and second guessing in this thread. Obviously the smarty pants people here know why the Wii hasn't recieved the games they want and the publishers are just idiots. |
It was well written, I just would not have complemented him if I disagreed.
Not too many will deny that the Wii "hasn't" recieved as many core games as we'd like, especial Q3 and 4 2008. But the point of this thread is WILL recieve. And I too believe that the DQX is just the beginning of more. His point in this thread is that, DQX should be a red flag to all HD fanboys, but many of them and just trying to make DQX a non factor. I liken it to FFVII moving to the PSX, Nintendo is going to push this game on the west, and I am willing to bet there were people who thought Pokemon, Zelda, DK, and whatnot would not sell in the west, but Nintendo has succeeded there. I think DQX will outsell ALL other DQX games in the west combined (not saying as much as it sounds... like 1.5-2 mil) and will completely legimize the Wii in the East. Remember the SNES? Nintendo won in the US, but it was not a huge blowout, and in fact I think the Genesis egded it in the others, but look back, The SNES had ALL of the Japanese Support, and Wii is beginning to look the same.
I do not think the Wii will become the console of choice of most core gamers in the west (I do believe it will in the east), but I think it will become legitmate to them, and many of them will end up getting one because of the support it will recieve. But, I think it will always be a 2nd console to many core gamers in the west.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
