PS2 didn't face a hostile industry that more or less did everything in it's power to try and push it's competition ahead of it. Indeed, PS2 found itself in the opposite position. Wii's record breaking success literally rests entirely on Nintendo's shoulders. That's something no PlayStation or Xbox can really say, and likely never could in the future either... |
really ? So because nintendo never cared to really push 3rd party games on the WII as hard as sony has on the ps3, nintendo should be praised on "carrying the weight on their own"? If anything the other companies should be praised for getting 3rd party devs to jump on consoles that cost much more to develop for and have a much smaller audience than the wii does.
Now that's effort, look at sony, they're releasing more games than nintendo is times 2 or maybe even 3, and have been most of this gen..
so.. I don't get what your point is, and wii's success can't just be based off software and the fact it has nintendo 1st party ip, because the gamecube had nintendo's support, and possibly even more 3rd party big budget ip support than the wii and it didn't sell that well. So like seece says the chances of the motion controller being what made the wii the success it is, is pretty high, that and the fact it launced way cheaper than the other two consoles.
edit: Oh noez.. I responded in a thread twice in a row.. I guess that means I'm ganna get banned now..
