I refuse to count Mario and Sonic olympics as 3rd party. Sorry...

I guess i missed carnival games...on purpose probably as I did not want to embarass the wii in saying thats a million seller. :)


I'm sure that if you tried a little harder, you could find an excuse to disqualify all those million sellers...


fam, I don't think he's trying purposely to eliminate million sellers.

Though on the same note... Disolitude: Go look through PS2 million sellers. I bet you'd be embarassed to admit that the PS2 had some of those million sellers. My personal favorites are Scooby Doo: 100 Frights at 1.72 million, and the two SpongeBob games at 1.5 million and 1.3 million or something like that.

The only difference is that the PS2 had other games worthy (or... "unworthy" depending on how you look at it) of reaching a million, whereas the Wii mostly only has "unworthly" games. And when I say "unworthly" all I really mean is that the game is not considered a game or is mocked because it doesn't seem like a game that should sell well. Somebody must enjoy Carnival games because it launched at 35k sales in NA. Once there are enough good games that should sell a million, it won't be as bad that a game like Carnival Games made it to a million.

Note: I haven't actually played Carnival Games, so I can't say if it really does deserve to sell a million, because I can't say how good the game really is. It is a discount title, so that might have something to do with it.


You are completely right. When I think about it, congrats to Carnival games...they probably made more with that game than Edios and Midway combined last year. Thats no different than most EA and activision games and their reason for existance. 

I was thinking a month ago if I should sell my wii as it doesn't seem like anyone is going to go big on it other than Nintendo... but ima keep it as I still think someone is going to step up and make the ultimate AAA, not for kids, action adventure wii experience. When I bought it I thought these small companies (like treasure) will come and release inventive games for it to add a little depth to the usual Mario/Zelda offerings but it wasn't the case. Its almost like nintendo doesn't seem to want them to make games for the wii... Come on Reggie, send Konami some Nintendo t-shirts and hats. :)
