Why is Nintendo Wii dominating Sony PS3 and Microsoft 360?

[bdbdbd]

@libellule: ==> I m not sure you are right. This is only ur own guess.
I don't think it's a matter of opininion, just look for example the multiconsole owners. ==> u are talking about the swtching of devs from PS360 to Wii, OK

Yes i am, and that's basically the only thing that kills sales. As long as you have a certain level support, sales tend to keep on a similar level, but when it starts to drop, the sales are going to drop too. I see the things differently. I think Wii will get a lot of support but I doubt PS360 will stop to have their own support. They will have less games (need more money/time) but they will continue to have games from third devs (+ firsty devs). PS360 is a huge users base with very active players that play and buy games. I doubt third party devs will stop making games for them since they buy a lot of games.  First, the support doesn't completely drop, even DC had some 3rd party support and as i was saying, the amount of support effects sales, the only question just is about how much support they are going to get. You see, Wii would have similar software support with PS360, by having half smaller dev support. Secondly, even that they would buy a lot of games per console, Wii is going to beat them anyway with bigger installbase. So, the you didn't really have point there. Also technically, the Wii has limitation. Some devs will just prefers focus on HD because they are aiming high ended visuals for more cinematics games. It's not devs decicion, it's the publishers who get to decide. Anyway, the ones who want to make visually impressive content instead of money (although some will get a good money out of PS360) are the ones that are going to "stay". But as a hint, visuals don't keep the business running.

Also EVEN IF Wii is getting all the games (even the mature, even the hardcore), the hardcore gamers will continue to focus on the PS360 because it will give them the best visuals and the best online community (compared to the Wii).  

And Wii has forecast channel and everybody votes channel. As you can see, without the games there's really no need trying to prove a point that doesn't exist.

By Xmas 08 both Sony/MS will have their own "motion sensing" controler so hardcore gamers will not have to switch back to the Wii. 

PS3 had since launch. And what did i say in the last paragraph about games?

And no, the arcadeXbox360 is not really selling.

Actually, this is the Wii that is killing the Xbox360 arcade offer by being A LOT more attractive for casuals than the Xbox360 arcade is. Without the Wii, the 270$/199€ entry price of the Xbox360 would drive the Xbox360 beyond 100k weekly in NA/PAL
Oh, but doesn't this contradict what you said about not competing about the same audience? ==> I m not sure WHY Sony destroyed gaming.

Sony had the commanding position in the market, which means that it should control the market so, that it doesn't lose publics appeal, while being profitable for the industry. Now, when saying that the market crashed, it's only Sony to blaim for abusing its position. If it didn't crash, there's a gamer transition going from Sony to Nintendo. You decide.

But I assume people posting online (= mostly hardcore gamers) are not happy to see the Wii selling very well when the console that they want to buy (Xbox360/PS3), because they could play the games they want to play (mature hardcore games), are selling less.

Well now, then buy a Wii and get the type of games for it and everyone will be happy. Getting a console just because it's just a console you like, without basing your purchase for games, is just fanboyism. These people need to grow up.

Whatever, Wii is increasing the market, so yes, a lot of casuals/nongamers are very happy with the Wii but these guys are not registered in IGN/VGChartz.

Apparently they aren't. Which is good to see, that the "hardcore" crowd find Wii appealing.

==> In these points I dont believe. i see so much things different.

==> Yep, Wii is mainly selling because of her content.
