Among casual gamers, certainly. But a system deserted by developers and hardcore gamers can't possibly be called the leader of this industry... |
I'm a hardcore gamer, and I didn't desert it. The terms are bad, we shouldn't use them. Call them HD users or non-Nintendo users... at least for now.
Also, the decision of certain gamers and the industry, though to a certain extent reactionnary to Nintendo's poor decision to fail at bringing us an HD platform, is a shared failure between Ninty for giving us no HD and the industry for snobbing Nintendo due to general snobbing and Nintendo's past attitude and failures. Next gen should be different. ;)

I admit the term is too strong, but HD users or non-Nintendo users don't make sense either...
And HD has nothing to do with that : Xenoblade is not in HD, but it's an excellent game (I bought a Wii just for it). Thing is : there are few games like Xenoblade on Wii. If developers and "players" abandonned Wii, it has to do with Nintendo targeting casual gamers and families first, and the crushing domination of their own IPs on their system. And there's no reason to believe the future may be any different : it is already happening on 3DS.

This is pretty much it right here, the way i see it, Wii owners had two choices, they could either sit and cry and moan about "evil 3rd parties" and twiddle thier thumbs and wait for Xenoblade quality games which were few and far in between OR they could set aside their irrational love and get a PS3 360 or PC so they were not missing out on some great 3rd party games. I know I chose the latter and looking at the sales for multiplats most people di too

This and the post before it have nothing to do with what I said. Plus, the shining 4 in japan for 3DS will tell you otherwise ryuzaki, but you don't speak on fact, so how would you know?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I guess your shining 4 refer to :
1/ Mario Kart 7
2/ Mario 3D Land
3/ Monster Hunter 3G
4/ Inazuma Eleven Go Shine
You already have 2 Mario games in your shining 4 so it perfectly illustrates what I was saying. As for Monster Hunter and Inazuma, they're both ultra-popular franchises in Japan so they would sell on any system. Furthermore, those two have no impact outside Japan so your shining 4 aren't an argument worldwide.
And if you look at Media Crate this week, you'll see that the new 3DS entries (Ace Combat and Spirit Camera) had weak sales because of your shining 4 monopolizing the market.
