| DoesWhatNintenDont said: As to Sports games selling better on PS3 and 360 than the Wii, since when did "sports" only get defined as American Football? Madden isn't the only sports game out there. I'm pretty sure that golf games have sold better on the Wii, and I'll but money down that MBL games will too. Hell, even real football ( ahem Soccer ) will sell better on the Wii thanks especially to Mario Strikers. I do think Online is the wild card of this debate though, but I don't see how this will tilt the scales too much as an erratic gamer won't be bothered with playing Online from the get go. Usually that is only for the established and enthusiasts. |
Well Madden is usually mentioned because it sells far more in the U.S. than other sports games. For example Madden is at ~1.6 million on the 360 and ~400 thousand on the PS3 compared to ~360 thousand on the Wii and both the 360 and PS3 versions are still outselling the Wii version on a weekly basis. I just can't see how adding a casual mode to the Wii version is going to attract fans of that series to the Wii.
You may be right about Mario Strikers though, if it can sell 3 - 3.5 million Worldwide it'll likely beat Fifa and World Soccer Winning Eleven on the other systems.
As for MLB I don't think so not if you're talking about EA Sports and other third parties versions but if Nintendo has a Mario baseball game in the works they might be able to sell a lot of them and take the lead.
Actually come to think of it I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't brought out a Mario Sports line for Soccer, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Golf, etc, but I have a feeling they might hesitate because EA might retaliate and drop their sports support for the Wii if that were to happen (and possibly all support for the Wii).
