Ok, if Balance Board is a runner in the console race, let me just say...

Balance Board has no games!! It can't even sell third party software!

How much is that in total? That's the worst attach ratio I've seen since the PSP!



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

This is a good opportunity for a blast from the past, but I am using the Wii browser currently.

Is anyone nice enough to type "how long will the PS3 stay in third place" into the forum search engine and paste the link of that thread in here?

or we could click here:

& see this part in the "about me" bit:

My predictions:

The Wii will have at least tripled the combined sales of the 360 and PS3 once all three systems have stopped selling. - Going to be wrong.

That too is a blast from the past

lol wow!!!

Rol...you are trying to drill people on their preditions?

Don't know, but it ight easily be the most successfull peripheral to sell 3rd party stuff.

 

I don't remember Eye toy having successful 3rd party stuff.

I can't remember of any other peripheral to be honest xd



Oh it sells a lot of 3rd party software. There's a sticky thread about it. The list of bb compatible games is huge and ever growing. BB probably sells more games than PSP. (okay, probably not but I couldn't resist)

Don't forget, most fitness games use it too, as does We Cheer, Marble Saga, Skate It and many, many more.

Um, I'd like to see where Nintendo claimed that Wii Fit Plus is mostly being bought as the full bundle, because it seems most places I only see the software standalone being sold...

That's on the shelves. Every time you see the Wii Fit box, it's now Plus.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Gotcha.  And like that other guy said, 55% can make sense.  The OP made it seem like 90% or more were the bundle.



I don't think that's possible...................is it?

I remeber one time Wii play sold more than the PS3. Also if this is true. The PS3 is in 4th place now lol. Great thread

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

While the point of how much the Wii Balance Board has sold is interesting, it is also relevant when considering what the sales of the Sony Arc and Microsoft Project Natal will be.

In other words, it is highly unlikely that either will sell to half of the install base of the console. After all, we are talking about the Balance Board because of its unique sell-through and it is around 42%.

Makes the consultants who predicted 56% adoption for MPN to look a bit foolish.
