I thought the opening thread's point was pretty simple. Or it could be that I'm pretty simple; But anyway what I understood of the thread was the tackle this idea that Wii doesn't sell third party software, which the poster then shows 25 games that not only sold well but all million sellers. I find these talking points of Wii doesn't sell this" "Or Wii only sells that" are created by their competitors like sega did back in the 90's with Nintendo being kiddy. It's all spin, created by Nintendo's competitors (yes they are all competing).
I mean when you think about it, Nintendo is the strongest software company in this business, they've shown that they can survive without thirdparty support, the other two competitors probably would NOT be able to do this, so in a sense, they NEED third party developers, and what better way to keep them than to make accusations that they wouldn't fare to well on that console or this console. That's how I see it.
But also, I don't understand where games like haze are brought up in this discussion, or any HD console third party game really, it seems a bit misplaced. But by all means continue it is entertaining, just stay away from the T word.
Lastly, I think brain slug made an excellent point.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
