I mean just that. You simply shouldn't assume that a minor sample on the internet is representative of the real world. People get asked about their purchases and if it's worth to buy the thing in question. Or they talk about their purchases without being asked, because they think that they own something awesome. But good people don't tell their friends to spend money on something they aren't really happy with.
Right now in Japan many people aren't happy with their Vita, that's why hardly any good word of mouth spreads. The same thing happened to the 3DS about a year ago. But this is irrelevant for a comparison that looks at the current state of things.

In that case, consumer satisfaction for the Wii is low but that directly stems from a lack of appealing new games. Sales do not determine quality, quality determines sales. So games is really the main factor here, and it is included above.

You got that right about the Wii.
The problem with the games category in the article you posted is that it's just the opinon of one single person. Sales however, give us a chance to look at a more general consensus, because every sale represents a person.
This probably requires me to type out a pre-emptive argument when it comes to software sales. There needs to be a distinction made between impulse buy range and purchases that require consideration. So for example, a game like Angry Birds cannot be compared equally to a 3DS/Vita retail game. That's obvious, but I always have to expect Joelcool7 reading my posts.

I simply disagree with you. Things can be utter crap but still sell very well. The correlation between sales and quality is random at best.
|
I agree with you. I don't think most people would say that Toyota makes better cars than BMW because they sell more cars than BMW does.
|
Yes, a very good point. But Rol keeps thinking sales = quality so... 
|
It is because sales do = quality. If something wasn't selling well it would most likely be due to lack of quality.
|
Why? There are millions of other factors that come into play. You're telling me that a movie such as Transformers is better than let's say Godfather/Pulp Fiction/etc? And they didn't have as big a box office because they lacked quality?
|
I know there a several (not millions) of other factors but the one metioned by Rol and I is a big one. Why would anyone want to play a game thats just poorly made? It wouldn't sell well because people would be spreading how bad it is and then sales would drop dramatically.
|
Nobody said the Wii was poorly made, but a game console is useless without the games. The Wii has not released many quality games the past few years. So even if I want to play it, I can't coz there are no games worth buying.
|
You're generalizing the Wii's library. There are tons of good games you they just aren't mainstream.
|
Actually, I don't really like mainstream games. I like the lesser known gems that don't necessarily appeal to the masses.
