Not trying to start anything, but could you guys tell me why you think the Wii will sell less this year than last year?

I think that's a valid question and I'll try give it a valid answer

  • Super Smash Bros
  • Mario Kart
  • WiiFit

Probably the biggest 3 software titles that the Wii is boasting in '08 the first 2 probably won't apeal to the type of people who buy Wii's and I highly dought that they are titles that people would buy consoles for ( however I could be wrong on this )wheras WiiFit is most definetley a system seller no dought about it , perfect mass market software , mass worldwide apeal. Considering the actual console itself won't offer any new services in the same way the PS3 will offer Home and XBOX 360's live , it's success is soley dependant on the quality of the titles released for it.

 If Any console is going to experience any major growth this year it's my firm belief that the PS3 is that console , not only do the exclusives apeal to the mass market but they are prestigous games in their genre.

XBOX 360's line up is looking pretty much mediocore , Halo wars is probably the biggest exclusive for the 360 this year and will probably sell 1 Mil units on name alone however it's an RTS , unless the game was incredibly good its success chances are very low . Like I said before RTS's are best suited to the PC and hardly ever achieve success on consoles ( something like a 95% faliure rate)
