But its FFVII that make the PSX make it on the top and dominate console war though, I mean, its FINAL FANTASY, its a Nintendo console game we knew how large impact that was to Nintendo and the market at that time.

 

 

 

 

I'm not saying that FFVII didn't have a major impact on the PS1 (I remember when it was the PSX), because it did. But it took a lot more than just that to sell the thing. If that's all it had, it would never have so thouroughly defeated the N64. Nintendo still had Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and it didn't win with that. Many people bought a PS1 before FFVII and many bought it after. FFVII was no turning point or savior, just a major killer app. I remember buying my PS1 for Tekken 3. I never even owned FFVII. One game does not make or break a system. It never has.

So what games that push the Wii since its launch till the holidays even most games on the system are shovelwares and crap then? I'll just say what did I say to moseteto, its "Wii Sports" even bundled thats the killer app game that won Ninty in the console war so far. But we never knew how this killer app game will last thats why Ninty announced Wii Fit and MK Wii to make the Wii lasts longer but we knew this is temporary. Ninty needs one more game same effect to Wii Sports for Ninty to hold grip their domination, what game is it? We never knew thats why I created this topic...

 

 

 

 

Where do you get this theory that they only need "one more game" to maintain domination?  It doesn't make any sense.  What the Wii needs is Harddrive support ASAP from Nintendo and a whole bunch of more hardcore games that also get high sales, and most of these AAA high sales games need to be 3rd party.  Wii Sports was nothing more than a bundled tech demo that showed some of what the Wii can do--it took more than that to sell the Wii.  Nintendo, for once, also had a solid advertising campaign moving their system.  Wii Sports helped get people addicted to the Wii and Nintendo needs a lot more than Wii Sports and Wii Fit to maintain momentum.  And many of the games it needs need to come from 3rd party publishers and developers.

Nintendo really doesn't need another game like Wii Sports or Wii Fit since they already made those and now the peripherals are out and successful.  It's up to 3rd party companies to fill the voids on the console.  It needs more hardcore games to continue to move people, and hardcore gamers, to the Wii.  If you think they do need another Wii-series title to churn up the masses, you seem to be forgetting that Wii Music is still on it's way and Animal Crossing will no doubt snatch up a ton of hardcore, pop, and casual gamer support.  On top of this, there are the Kid Icarus, Kirby, Disaster, and Fatal Frame games also coming.  All Nintendo needs to do is keep up the solid advertising and ensure highest possible quality for all these games.  They don't necessarily need "another Wii Sports or Wii Fit," but hey, Wii Music is still coming...
