Could you stop trolling here?

If you were in that situation, maybe you too you would be angry. We just don't get the games we deserve. We can only count on Nintendo, unfortunately.

That's the thing though. Why do you automatically "deserve" those games? Because of the Wii sales?

The bigger install base having the best 3rd party support has always been the case, why is it suddenly a problem now that Nintendo is back on top? It's a little thing called 'common sense'; a bigger install base means more potential sales.

The bigger install base isn't seen as the Wii, it is seen as the (as the industry puts it)... "HD Twins". Which have a greater market share than Wii, and also share a whole bunch of the same "core" fanbase.

You're making the mistake in not taking into account multiple console ownership. Even ignoring that, like others have stated the Wii could have the same market share as the PS2 and would still have the same support. We have already pointed out the many flaws in your argument, so if you do not wish to revise it I don't see a point in continuing this argument.

Why should i take into account "multiple console ownership"? The fact is, HD has a greater marketshare than Wii. That's why the majority of games releasing on the 2 consoles are shared.

No it wouldn't stay the same, because if it had that marketshare it would have the mix of all fans/gamers... Just like PS2 did. Developers would HAVE to support it.

What flaws?...


You should take it into account because numerous people own both 360/PS3s so in effect your logic is flawed, if the are 30m 360s sold and 20m PS3s it doesn't mean that the are 50m potential customers which is why your attempt to group them together to mask market share is coming off a bit silly.

The fact is there are more PS3's and 360's out there than Wii's. There is a bigger PS360 marketshare than there is Wii marketshare. Fact.


Wrong the fact is market share is done by individual consoles because if the are 60m PS3s and 360s out there and 10m own both consoles it doesn't mean the are 60m customers for the HD twins as you put and thus the market share becomes lower then the Wii hence the flaw in your argument fact.

Doing that would be pointless, as there is no way to tell how mnay people have both. It could also be argued that the marketshare is severely flawed and skewed because of multiple console owners, but we don't see anyone ever bringing that one up do we? That's why im saying there are more PS3's and 360's out there than there are Wii's. Developers don't see how many people own the said console, they see how many consoles are out there.


No doing that is how it's always been done and you still fail to understand the flaw in your argument, you are taking the total sold of two consoles and using it as market share and saying the userbase is bigger then the Wii, on paper it's more then the Wii but in practice a fair number of people own both PS3s and 360s while you are only comparing the Wii market share so the multiple console flaw won't apply to the Wii in this argument as you've grouped it by itself in your comparison. effectively if only 5m people own both a 360 and PS3 it still makes the practical number of consumers available less then the Wii and thus market share gets a hit and it's here where the flaw is.
