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...

 

 

 

 so what youre saying is that the reason for nintendo's success isnt because of the wii remote, the price point, or the fact that its just nintendo to begin with, but because of wii sports? and then they werent sure how long that was gonna last so they made mario kart? then wii fit?

i take back what i said to the last person i responded to. this is even more retarded than what he was saying about it would be a good idea if you could trade off between mario and sonic in super mario galaxy 2 which in of itself is a dumb ass idea to begin with.

but i want to get back to what you were saying. i like how so far, nobody at all has mentioned zelda or metroid. one HUGE selling point for the wii when it first came out was ZELDA. the ps3 probably would have outsold it the first couple of weeks if it werent for zelda. but see, that is just one small variable that is contributing to nintendo's success. they got a good head start because they treated the hardcore crowd to a zelda that they felt was for them. after that, they just spent a lot of time making cool games that utilized the wii remote like wii play and warioware while at the same time advertising future titles that were going to kick ass like metroid, super mario, and smash bros. once 2007 was over, and smash bros was right around the corner, they focused more attention on mario kart and wii fit, and now that those two games are out, they dont really want to say much more until e3. who knows why really, most other companies are really eager to let the public know what they have in stock for them. but anyways, this is just the games aspect of why nintendo is kicking ass right now. there are plenty of other reasons, but as you can see, its not, nor ever, going to be just one title that does it. you have to have a consistant flow of AAA titles that are going to keep consumers interested.
