Wii sales are not driven by games

This is ridiculous. What is the point of buying controllers, if not for the games?

You CAN argue that some sales of WiiFit came people buying Wii Balance board... for later. But they could have held off - it may eventually get bundled with something else - we never know.

And yes, I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one more peripheral released for the Wii - each one is extending and building on the concept of what the Wii is about.

And no, I don't see the Wii sales being that affected by sales of "Wiimote" rip-offs for other consoles. For starters, its the games that matter - and since the other controllers have to start from an install base of 0 again - this affects what games will go out on a limb to support them. History has shown that peripherals that come later in a consoles life fail.

 

 Troll...

So the Guitar Hero/Rockbank/Wii Fit peripherals will fail/have failed?

 

 

I thought it was a bit obvious that he meant conventional peripherals meant for the system, not a particular game in itself.

 

Anyways I'm not getting in the middle of this.
