First.

BenKenobi88 - Nintendo needs to get 'mature' gamers to buy the console... or at least buy the games on their console, and the rival. Games like Eternal Darkness is how it is done. I would buy Eternal Darkness2. I would actually buy that over any game coming out in 2007. However I dont buy crappy multiplatform games. (it's rare when I get one, and usually those are actually good games, and I choose the platform, I will be most confertable with. It used to be the GameCube (wave bird controllers) Then it went to the PS2 (logitech wireless controllers). And now I have the Wii... (Worst game controller since NES) and the PS3... (feels just like the PS2 controller... with no wire).

I would choose the PS3 over the Wii every time. (it would hopefully have better graphics too).

Nintendo needs to PAVE the way. They need to make it so I buy the 10$ cheaper version, instead of the PS3 version.

 

What? The Wii is meant for everyone? So that means that GodFather should have sold 2x what it did on the PS3... What? The Wii version sold 17% LESS? That means the Wii is faling HORRIBLY for crappy 3rd party multiplatform games.

well if it's a crappy multiplatform game, who gives a crap?

This may be stereotypical, but perhaps there are more of the kind of gamer who would play Godfather buying Playstations than Nintendo consoles...that's how it's been for a while.

What? GTA sells better on Playstation than any other platform? Maybe it's because it started on Playstation and everybody associates these types of game to Playstation...it's familiar territory.

The fact that Godfather sold on the Wii at all is good enough for me. It's a mature game, it's on the Wii, and it sold a fair amount. Considering that many Wii users are (a) kids, (b) adults not interested in violent games, or (c ) casual gamers, I think you're overreacting.
