I find this interesting

      I'm pretty sure Wii Sports is the only game this gen that has been bundled with its console since the day its console first released.  So, the only way those other games could measure up fairly would also be if they had been bundled with their consoles since day one.

     And if New Super Mario Bros. had been bundled with the DS since Day One for the DS, then it would have sold over 100,000,000 copies.

See the paragraph indentations?

      Or they could remove the game totally from the sales charts because there's no way to know how much it would sell on its own other than by going with the Japanese data.

Again

OMG... Why are you people even responding to this troll? I have already told many mods that this guy is an alt account to Paul_Warren, whose other alt account (BTFeather55) was recently permabanned because I reported him. 

I kindly ask all mods to check his post history and writing style and preferences (Hates the Wii, leaves spaces before starting each paragraph, uses the metacritic arguement, etc) and realize that this guy has made yet another alt account after getting permabanned.

I'm gonna report him again.

Then trestres post...

"Those people are idiots, and not the majority of buyers. It didn't make the 360 sell "more." They would have to manufacture more units for that to happen. That kind of panic where people pay more than retail happens AFTER something has "sold out." It doesn't inflate demand. It inflates eBay resale prices."

Something had to happen to increase people's demands to the point where they would be willing to pay such staggering prices and it was shortages. The Wii never hit such a price point but many people were buying it for anywhere fro9m $400.00 to $800.00 in bundles which seemed to be the only thing stores where offering for it when its actual retail price Christmas '06 was $250.00.


Oh look he took them out, but then

But you're not grounded in reality. You just argued that making a ton of good games was bad for the Wii. Having a diverse library with many great games is what lets a system survive so well in droughts. If Nintendo didn't release all those huge games so fast, their current drought would be 10 times worse.

And core games sell better on the Wii than on the 360 or the PS3. The Wii is winning the old war and the new war. The 360 and the PS3 are fighting really hard in the old war, and barely losing. But in the new war, they've got nothing on Wii Sports. As long as they're only seriously competing with Nintendo on one of their 2 fronts, they will eat Nintendo's Wii Dust.

 

       Yeah, that's what they say.  But, I guess time will be the final arbiter.



Just can't help himself
:) fun day

Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
