Dont see how MS can win this year, they have been losing to PS3 all year and i dont know how long the Wii boost will last. Unless they are talking fiscal year. And this crap about people moving on to core games is just that crap. It wasnt true when Ninty said it with Wii and its not true now. Your aunty and grandma who bought Kinect for dancing and exercise dont give a damn about Halo or Gears, if they did they would have been playing those games already.

Kudos to MS, at least they are supporting their damn add-on unlike some companies. And there not content to just release dance games, exercise, and mini game compilations, because we do not have enough of those



with apologies to the baby seals. I know plenty of people that bought a Wii for Wii Sports and/or Fit, and ended up buying core games.

 

You can argue that it is not the case for the majority(who knows if you'd be correct), but it IS the case for a significant minority. As an example, the sales of Mario Kart: Wii and NSMB:Wiiimply one of two things.

a) Casual gamers are not buying the Wii in significant numbers (certainly no more than the PS2)

b) Casual gamers buy core games in statistically significant numbers

 

Take your pick, either be not allowed to troll Nintendo any more, or admit you were wrong in this thread.

Those are Mario games, they sell gangbusters anyway. What about the non Ninty Wii games?? How come the 3rd party core games on WIi dont even come close to those Mario game sales?? Not saying those are not "core" games but they are, as you say in a minority. Why havent the majortiy of Wii owners bought, COD for instance??? Thats just as core and almost as popular as the Mario series this gen and the Wii versions dont do anywhere near the HDs despite having a larger install base and no its not cause of ads, because PS3 gets no ads for that either
