| The_vagabond7 said: It is obviously competing, because it is taking market share away from both the PS3 and 360. Look at it this way, if you take the wii numbers out of total consoles sold this gen, than this gen looks pathetic. This far into the generation and just over 30 million consoles sold total? That would be a huge step backwards in sales. But add the wii's numbers to this gen and suddenly the market is flourishing. The reason? People are buying wii's instead of (not only in addition too) PS3s and 360s. So yeah, they are directly competing. |
QFT.
The numbers are more telling than anything.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
