I pointed out facts about the 3 systems, even mentioning my 360 gets the most play, my Wii the least. How about instead of making a blanket statement such as that, you add to the conversation by actually disputing any of the facts I mentioned? Fact is, you can't dispute any of it. People will talk about how the Wii has fallen, but they either haven't realized the things I pointed out, or they're purposely not mentioning it to sensationalize the other systems. Are you going to tell me you disagree that 70m units sold vs 40 mil units sold isn't a much higher saturation level? And do a comparison of failed systems ratio. Do a little research, you'll find that independant surveys have shown a 54% failure rate for 360's before the latest generation (Which is supposedly fixing it once and for all) and every single replaced system has counted as another sale. (Also proven and acknowledged by Microsoft themselves) In reality, Microsoft probably has 1/3rd the saturation in the market Nintendo does. And when you look at it from that perspective, of course more 360's and PS3's will be sold over the 3rd place Wii. The Wii has less people left on earth to sell to. So don't dismiss this argument as a fan boy. Again, I play my Wii the least of the 3 systems. This argument is based purely in fact. At least be honest enough to admit you're just unable to argue the facts, so you fall back on the "Don't defend the dying Nintendo brand! You sound pathetic!" You brought nothing to the table with your post. |
You mad?
Last I checked, I didn't directly address you or anyone else. Sounds to me like you're feeling a little bit sensitive about this whole situation.
Look at past leading consoles. Did the PS2 suddenly see a GIGANTIC drop in sales in its 4th year like the Wii just did? No, because the PS2 had incredible games to spur demand (such as San Andreas). Nintendo completely dropped the ball with the Wii and got arrogant. The PS2 had a way, way higher marketshare than the Wii does now, but that didn't mean it suddenly saw a gigantic drop in sales. Total sales don't matter, because at this point, the Wii still has the potential to at least double its userbase by the end of its cycle (adding at least another 70 million consoles sold). So that argument gets thrown out the window.
See what I mean about being desperate to prove your argument? Your arguments are weak and unfounded.
But don't start crying to me about it. Boo hoo.
