Wow - the HD consoles have outsold the Wii by like 50K - Didn't see that one coming any time soon!

 

 I find it shocking that that haven't happen more times then it has since there haven't been any "system seller" released on the Wii for atleast 5 months..

There was the "third party support" that was supposed to sell "amazing numbers" but didn't really go anywhere but I'm not sure if those were supposed to be for system sales or just aimed at the current owners.

 

what third party system sellers?  from what i recall the good third parties are coming out this summer.

or are you someone gonna laugh at wii owners because madworld didn't sell 3-4 million.  idk isn't that the only game that decent this year so far?

I think it was mainly third party support for software, not necessarily system sellers but the software was supposed to be great for the sales of the games at least. There were several titles that were supposed to be decent sellers or at least decent games. Tenchu: Shadow Assassin, Madworld, Sonic & The Black Knight, House of the Dead: Overkill, Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, Rygar, and Deadly Creatures. As far as I've heard, House of the Dead: Overkill has sold pretty well but the rest haven't really done anything. I guess it's more for the wii's core audience though to determine which games they like and dislike though. I'm avoiding talking about quality of the games because I've yet to play them either.

I dunno. I hope that the next batch that are coming out will do better with sales, they are starting off already with better scores (LittleKingStory has an 88 on Metacritic which is awesome).

 

 

 

1) Third part support was supposed to be starting about now, which it has.

2) The argument, as recall, wasn't about sales (for which Nintendo is fine), but about the quality of third titles. As for your list:

-Sonic and the Black Knight - I don't know why anyone expects a Sonic game to be anything but crap anymore.

-Mad World, House of the Dead, Deadly Creatures and Tenchu all had solid review.

-Dead Rising was always suspect, and I don't know what sort of interest Rygar had, but these had mediocre reviews overall.

All in all, I think this is still a better showing than we had for the last 3 years.
