No, Nintendo was the one that risked the more coming into this generation. Hence, they got the best out of that risky move. If third parties weren't such bitches, Nintendo would be the one to have EVEN more... and they actually deserved it. 3rd parties have try to ignore the wii for too long now, but still nintendo is killing everything this gen ;) MS and Sony just waited 4 years to notice how motion controllers are bringing a new experience that was needed into this indrustry. Now we see they announced Move and Kinect, while 4 years ago they were making fun of the wii.... yeah, they really worked their asses this gen xD Yeah, you don't care at the wii being #1, that's why every week you go on about "this is the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th week on a row that X360 is above the wii...." suuuuuure man. And yeah I understand, as I said before... when you lost the important fight, every little thing you win seems important all of the sudden =) |
First part - You're missing the point, overall it doesn't matter to sales. It does highlight really how "dominant" wii has actually been this gen, when 4 years in it can only muster near a third of sales for the year.
Nintendo didn't have a choice but to do Wii, they would have been slaughtered if they did something similar to Sony and MS, so it was Wii .. or go home, don't make out they were some brave warriors to make that decision, they were left choicless.
Third part, ugh, I already explained that. I've never cared abut Wii being first, even when it overtook 360. I DO care and want to celebrate when 360 or PS3 outsell it, because like I already said, they deserve to IMO. Get it?
And like I said, I don't give a flying monekys about the "Important fight", I care about the here and now, and any week the HD outsell the Wii is a great week for gaming. IMO.
