then why is wii on top

1) FOR HOW LONG?
Japan? and SMG sales in Japan?

few reasons:
CHEAP.
NEW CONTROLS.
APPEALING TO CASUALS, NOT GAMERS.

2) By the end of 2008, there will over 20 MUST PLAY games on PS3.

3) Soriku - HAVE YOU SEEN THIS - http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/11/14/video-of-new-research-conducted-with-playstation-eye/ ?

 

1. If the Wii doesn't appeal to 'gamers' why is it that 90% Wii owners are hardcore (% taken from Reggie at E3)? And another reason is the GAMES. 2. Name me them. 3. PS Eye > Wii. I know. *wink*

There are 2 games out for the ps eye since its new and they're expecting 10 more by the end of the year. The ps eye is much more innovative than the wii. Thats a fact.

 

so your opinion is now fact

what did Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil, etc do for Gamecube?
Mario, Zelda, Metroid - these are pure nintendo game. And N64 with CG sales were poor, while both psOne and ps2 sales were over 100 mln. Much More people played MGS, FF, GT games. That`s why these games will improve sales a lot.

More people played MGS, FF and GT than Mario, Zelda and Metroid??? Just ignorant.


LOL. You probably think, that MOST gamers are around 30 years old? =))

Come on, MOST gamers OF THIS CONSOLE GENERATION, which started to play games in 1996-1997 when PSOne came were only 8-10 years old. Now after 10-12 years, they are atleast 18-20 years old. They grown up on PLAYSTATION games. Nintendo BRAND was WEAK all this last 10 years.

your so danm ignorant its not even funny.

Im 17 years old, most likely the average age of gamers, and ill tell you right now mario and zelda have so much more influence to video games and are more system sellers then anything sony can produce

 

Your ignorance is unbelievable.

You are only using last gen, comparing a 20 million console to a 100. please do you understand the highest selling video game (console) is mario? Do you understand that?

Do you understand that in past gens mario and zelda completely dominate those sells?

Alright then go away



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

To Lost tears of kain:
Don't get agressive just because you don't know what to say. Seems like once you reach that point your only argument is "fuck you, you are a silly fanboy". Perhaps the fanboy is another person.

on topic:

No, those games won't "turn things around"
FF13 is not coming until 2009 at the earliest.
Killzone: a delay to 09 it's rumored. Besides, is not exactly a huge seller. Is just the kind of games that Ps3 fans like to hype, like Lair and heavenly sword, anything that looks good on videos.
MGS 4: Very good game, coming out in 08 and huge seller... however i don't think i will do a lot by itself.

The Wii still has at least 5+ huge sellers for 08. Brawl, Mario Kart, Animal crossing, Wii Fit, Wii Motorsports, Kirby wii (question mark, some Kirby games have sold 5million+, others only do 1m+, depends of the type of Kirby game we get)

Dont know what to say? Really this is coming from the guy who got his ass kicked cause all he could do was list major "rumored rpgs" for the wii. Or was trying to argue that monster hunter was bigger then FF, or new SE IP.

I told him fuck you because he called NG a hack and slash. Thats like calling mario just another platformer. Seriously go the fuck away. BTW fuck you you silly fanboy.

O look comes in with all these wii sellers while Ps3 has nothing.

Who the hell is the fanboy.


 You. I only laugh at a 17 year old "kicking ass" on the internet. It never gets old.

I think what he was trying to say was, that it doesnt appeal to the hadcore crowd that want hardcore shooters, online, and nice graphics.

It mainly appeals to the casual. You guys are hardcore ninty fans so you dont count.


so hardcore gamers are the people that only like shooters eh,also i owned a ps1 and 2 so i am not a hardcore ninty fan,but with all these great first party i sure am turning to one now

You know what screw what I said, The shark dude was wrong,

Hardcore gamers are gamers that want to play good games, the wii has plenty so it does appeal to some hardcore gamers.

what most sold games are on Wii? =))
2. Name me them.
Heavenly Sword
Ratchet
Uncharted
FFXIII
GT5
MGS4
KZ2
Resistance2
Motorstorm2
Tekken6
Warhawk

LBP
Getaway3
Heavy Rain
WKS
Disgaea3
Wardevil
Infamous
8days
Gow3
Jak
NGS

Maybe some of these games don`t appeal to you, half of them to be proven yet, but after HS, Ratchet and Uncharted i am confident in 1st/2nd party party games on PS3. Lair - it`s atleast a RENT, becase some people are fine with controls, some not.

 

1. A Jak game isn't announced for PS3. 2. FF XIII comes in 2009. 3. KZ2 appears to be coming in 2009. 4. GoW3 comes in 2009.

Jak and daxter is in development, people were asking on the ps blog and he said "lol guys if you only knew"

KZ2 is still up for march 08

GOW3 was confirmed for next year by sony themselves.

yeah every console has good games that appeal to some hardcore



This is sort of flamey, but that EyeToy tech demo stuff is a complete joke. The Wii already has the form of functionality - in its DS-->Wii connectivity. And I can't see the average, casual gamer sitting themselves down at a table to "draw" stuff, so the EyeToy can pick it up. Sony are barking up the wrong tree there.

They would be better off, using mobiles(!) with BlueTooth to read camera data and do something interesting with it - such as a controller or something.
