| Salnax said: This entire affair is ridiculous. The Wii has had a grand total of ONE notable title this year: Mario Sports Mix. And that's only outside of Japan. The only upcoming game that's likely to matter is Skyward Sword. The price has barely fallen since 2006. The most sucessful game at the moment is a party game with a 74% on Metacritic. The 360 had had a recent relaunch, and it and the PS3 have gotten Marvel vs Capcom 3, Dead Space 2, Killzone 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Dynasty Warriors 7, Homefront, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2, Crysis 2, and Bulletstorm. And the Wii is still on par... This is like watching two athletes barely keeping up with a fat guy with a broken hip. It's also a testament to the fact that the Wii is essentially indestructable. I'm pretty sure the Wii will outsell its competirors this year. |
Bold words....bold words. The holiday model is skewed though. Having all the worthwhile software crammed into the 4th quarter is something that I hope Nintendo does not follow again next generation; its momentum-killing.
They probably doubted the Wii would be this popular, so software reflects a 5 year cycle on their end. Wii thrives, like all consoles, on software. The great games of Q4 2010 (Sonic, Goldeneye, MJ: The Experience, Epic Mickey, Just Dance 2, uDraw, etc) ALL PROSPERED because they were made with an ounce of thought and promoted properly.
Why de Blob 2 bombed, I don't know; shoulda staed Wii exclusive :P
