| petroleo said: The Wii was an a atrocity to game developers and to the game industry in general, yes it sold like hell but to which audience ?, games weren't selling, only Marios and Pokemons were selling there, so selling millions Wii didn't mean nothing to the game industry, it actually was hurting cause PS3 released its superior Wii mote , the expensive Kinect on the xbone, probably Sony or MS never got back their investment on those things.

This is off topic, but I just want to address the Wii bashing I see in this thread for a second. Wii actually moved software pretty well on par with 360 and PS3 last gen. Not Mario-only or Pokemon (that fact that you even infer that Wii was flooded with Pokemon games should be enough to prove you don't know what you're talking about) titles either as you claim, since their were quite a few million+ sellers on the system from 3rd Parties. For example, Call of Duty 3 sold over 2 million on Wii, outselling both PS2 and PS3 versions. And a couple of the Madden titles (07 & 08) outsold or sold on par with their PS3 counterparts. But, you people can keep telling yourself that Wii contributed nothing to the 7th gen video game industry. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
