Okay, okay. The  Wii had nothing to do with PS Move releasing. It was just a coincidence it released when Wii had made motion gaming popular.

It was part of Sony's plan all along.

Your pointless, petty bickering is pointless and petty.

Firstly. Look at what youre arguing about. The Wii Remote and PS Move. Tell me what it has to do with the thread, other than making you feel a little better about yourself.

Secondly. Look at what STAGE was saying. He said Nintendo have the casual market on lockdown. Theyre now taking on (trying) Sony and MS for the more core gamer. YOU CANT ARGUE AGAINST THIS. Its a fact. Its obvious to anyone who knows anything about what happened over the last 4 Years.

Nintendo have been pissed off that despite selling 100M consoles, the userbase for a GTA isnt there. The 25+ Million CoD market is tiny on Nintendo. Battlefield isnt there. Assassin's Creed wasnt there. Batman wasnt there. The critically acclaimed, multi-Million selling blockbuster games simply werent on the Wii. They were/are on PS360. Nintendo want that market, along with the WiiFit/Imagine: Babiez! markets.

So far, with WiiU, theyve thrown one little pebble. Bayonetta 2. Is it major? Not really, but its showing intentions. They have Assassin's Creed and Batman, along with CoD. Theyre still a long way behind though, as shown this Week. Dark Souls 2 being the prime example.

Answer this question - Why is it the Wii dropped off, far quicker than PS3 and 360 have?

And just to answer the OP... When the first big game releases.


Firstly, if you don't like what we are arguing about, move on to other posts. This is a forum and people argue on forums, get used to it.

Secondly, what we were really arguing about was him saying little Nintendo would be crushed by the 'big boys' next year as if Nintendo was some underdog in the industry plus I'm sick of people who are always going on about casuals vs core/hardcore.

Thirdly, No one has anything on lockdown, every gen is a clean slate where anything can happen as can be seen in console history.

The primary reason why Wii sales dropped off? Because Nintendo abandoned it and moved on to making 3DS and WiiU software.
