yet again you prove my point. I said "with out" motion (controls was implied but maybe i believed to much in your deductive reasoning ) and using traditional mechanisms (say a non motion cotroller) would be nothing but early last gen pedestrian games... the motion physics is what makes them unique ... *edit* strike through sorry I miss read. I thought you were replying not going off on a retarded tangent. your assuming wii sports is selling the wii because of its high sales numbers, any bundled game can pull these numbers off. you would be far better suited to use non bundled games to prove you point. say mario kart, or super mario world. or a game where you can choose your control schema classic or motion. here all you have is a fun tech demo that requirers motion control all of this shows that without the hardware that is currently in place wii sport would not sell or to help you if it was called xbox 360 sports and you had to use a traditional control the game would have sucked and been forgotten back to my original point of the wii being a software seller, and title on it not being hardware movers. both wii fit, and wii sports are prime examples of this being the case up for more of this or are you done sticking your foot in your mouth... edit mmmm my own foot tastes so good.. that replying without reading through a second or third time is tasty |
So, you are saying a system sells software and software doesn't sell systems? So, are you saying the PS3/360 are no competition to the Wii software because those systems do not meet the needs of this generation? Interesting, and somewhat true I guess. However this thread was about system sellers not software sellers.
Interesting spin, but as wii sports demonstrates the advantages of the wii hardware (motion controls), it is a system seller. It is not a pack in in Japan, and it's sales are also high in Japan. So, it is clear that it is a system seller and that many people are buying the wii for wii sports (and wii fit). When well over 30% continue to buy it with a new system two years after it's release, it is clearly a system seller.
