Hus, you are missing the point. The Wii is booming *now*. For it to fail, something has to change between NOW and the FUTURE to make it fail. If the Wii trends like it is trending now, it will easily take the #1 spot and be anything BUT a failure:

(not sure what happened to the quoting here - mismatch between the old/new?)

 

1/ Yes - porting a PS2 (or a GC or Xbox1) game to the Wii is *much* easier than to the PS3 or 360. Do you debate this? Stat another thread for it ;)

2/ That's my point - Madden will always sell better on higher graphics platforms. This isn't something unexpected. The Wii costs a *fraction* of the development cost of the PS3/360 version - and regardless - is STILL turning a profit. Madden isn't a game you would expect to become "awesome" through the inclusion of the Wiimote (but if it does - that's an extra bonus).

3/ Duh. Spend 20mill on a PS3/360 version, and *5* million developing Wii/PS2/Xbox/GC versions. Both turn a profit (PS3 *less* likely to), so its irrelevant. The Wii version *will* sell more than the GC versions did - and EA kept up support for that. So your point is a dud.

4/ Now that statement reeks of fanboy-ism. I thought you were trying to make an intelligent point ;)

The GC was never online. The Wii is booming with NO online games. MS (and to a lesser extend Sony) both rely on online for key games (Resistance, Live, etc).

The Wii will only get stronger - not weaker - once online games come out and make an impact.

If the Wii had no online capabilities, I would agree that no online would be a potential killer. But it does (and in some ways, has more powerful online if the WiiConnect24 actually turns out to be useful).


 1 I just dont see how geting PS2 ports help the wii.... old ass games that everyone alredy played ?

 2/3  If wii 3rd party keeps getting out sold by PS3 and 360 versions, why create games more games for it ?  wii is not getting army of two or mercenaries.  Wii versions would be a waste of time and money for them.  Its better to make a 360/PS3/PC game then a wii game.  They will support it to a point, not as much as the others.

4 you honestly think wii can compete with live and home  ?  ... not just gaming but movies, music tv shows.. trailers demos.... ? 

 Wii is rinding a wave of popularity right now that wont last long,  360 and PS3 will get alot stronger while wiis inferiority becomes more and more apperant.
