If thats your stand do you mean that the Wii can stand on its own with just Wii Sports alone even most of the Wii games so far are shovelwares and crap?

Seem a remarkable feat for a console if you ask me...

 

 

I don't know if it's the language barrier or something, but you're not understanding me. Or I'm not understanding you because all of your posts are in some pretty broken English. As someone else said earlier, your intention with this thread was never really clear because it's difficult to understand the idea you're trying to deliver. You either try to say that the Wii only needs "one major title" to fully dominate the industry, or you say it needs more than Wii Sports, or you say that it just needs "one more" title in a string of 3 or 4 Wii-series titles to maintain dominance and none of it is really clotting together into a solid idea.

 

I'll try to keep this clear:

 

The Wii does not need a replacement for Wii Sports.

Wii Sports is all that is necessary as a pack-in title to "sell" the Wii to new consumers.

In the future, a dual bundle, such as Wii Sports + Wii Fit, Wii Sports + Wii Music, Wii Sports + General Demo Disk--packed in with the Wii--will be a good idea to maintain sales.

No one game will "save the Wii" or "catapult the Wii to astromical sales."

If, and this is a big if, there was one game to convince more devs and publishers to side with the Wii, it would have to be a strong AAA title with a lot of success and high sales. It would need to be Teen or Mature rated, and skewed hardcore. Why? To dispel the myths that "only Nintendo games sell on Wii" and that "only casual crap sells on Wii." However, there needs to be way, way more than just one game.

Final Fantasy VII is not the sole reason the original Playstation was successful. It was cheaper than the Saturn, easier to develop for than the Saturn and N64, and it was released with stronger titles and more titles than the Saturn or N64.

The Wii is in no danger of losing it's current momentum, especially with Wii Fit recently launching, Wii Music on the way, and a slew of hardcore-skewed titles pouring in throughout the latter half of the year.

The most important things the Wii actually needs:
1. A Harddrive to allow greater freedom and options for devs and publishers.
2. Better advertisting for 3rd party wares.
3. More hardcore games and AAA titles.
4. Consumers who actually buy the AAA 3rd party hardcore titles.

 
Just to clarify what am I saying, I'll enumerate it 1) Yeah, theres only one killer app game that can decide the war 2) Its proven by Wii Sports 3) Ninty wants to hype the Wii more and make another killer app game same as Wii Sports 4) MK Wii and Wii Fit was one of them, SMG and SSBB for core fans not really for mainstream audience... But I think this is temporary  5) I think the success of Wii Sports will not last 6) Thats why Ninty or a 3rd party game should come up with another new killer app game to hold grip their dominance 7) Thats why I created this topic for you to decide which is the killer app game that Ninty will win the war 8) Many members here says KH 3 but for  me, Final fantasy on the Wii will make a huge impact and a killer app that Ninty is waiting for... But I do agree with your post

 

 

 

 

After ROB fizzled, Nintendo had only one major pack-in for the NES and it was Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. The SNES pretty much always came with Super Mario World (mine actually had Mario Kart added to it as well). The Game Boy either came alone or with Tetris. Other bundles were far, far less popular and typically unnecessary.

The only way to improve how the Wii is selling is to leave Wii Sports in there and just add something else because I can almost guarantee that any new adpoter will be happy to have it [Wii Sports] because that's one of the games that's being spread by word of mouth--or rather, hands-on-play. If Nintendo left Wii Sports in the Wii bundle until the end of this cycle, I don't think there would be any ill consequences. Sure, they could make a Wii Fit bundle (in fact, I pretty much expect it by late 2009), but it would still be highly beneficial to leave Wii Sports in as a pack-in game along with Wii Fit.  If they left Wii Sports out or replaced it, you'd end up with some disappointed consumers--at least oustide Japan where Wii Sports is a standard pack-in and now expected by consumers.

Wii Sports does not need to be replaced.

And Nintendo stated that there are no plans to make a Wii Sports 2.

There is however, Wii Music coming down the road and that other one that was theorized to be either a new Pilotwings or some kind of spiritual successor.
