Wii sales have always been caused by the software, not the hardware. Natal and move will do nothing, unless Sony and MS start getting software released on their machines.
Note - to avoid starting a list war, I am talking about popular software, I don't care what games you or professional reviewers think are good. Unless Sony or MS can create software to rival Wii Sports, Fit Mario Kart and NSMB, then the Wii will continue to thrash them in terms of sales |
You are kidding with that software pushing the console right? Yes, Wii sports pushed acceptance and understanding of the controls, but without the controls, the Wii had no distinguishing trait or advantage against the PS3 and 360. Because of the controls they also didn't need to take as big a technological leap as the other two. I would say the Wii is the first console ever to sell based on hardware distinctions as opposed to software. It just so happens that the defining software on the system (Wii Sports) was a very good vessel in introducing said control scheme.
