Holy Shit the difference is bigger than I expected

Anyway, who finds it ironic given the usual dire nature of the Wii's 3rd party that it manage to secure arguably the biggest console 3rd party exclusive this gen?

After seeing the lackluster performance of Battle Road Victory I'm not sure how big of a success Inazuma 11 will be. At the moment the holidays in Japan seem to favor the Wii but if Sony or a third party drop a bomb at TGS that's going to change rather quickly. And depending on how may GT5 bundles there are, I'm assuming it's going to be like the Lightning Bundle around 200k, Sony basically has November in the bag. And Trestres, you're missing RDR from that list. Not sure what category it should go in though. I think it has a pretty good shot at over 100k, maybe even over 200k.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Truthfully I think the opposite, but if I say anything bad about the Wii I get banned. Really annoying.

 The Wii is the worst market leader I have ever seen. The lack of support and better games going to other consoles is just troubling. The only reason this console is still relevent is because of its amazing first party games. But, it's crazy how even in japan it gets less support than most of the other consoles. Hopefully  the next Wii gets the support it deserve.

Not surprising.

Although for me, Quality > Quantity.

I would rather have one Halo on my platform than 10 Party games, for example.

 

It's easy enough saying that the PS3 and 360 are trouncing the Wii support-wise. But it all depends WHAT that support is.

EDIT: seems like the quoting failed. Anyways, as I said before it got destroyed...

Considering how the generation started (no 3rd party support due to every analyst saying the Wii was going to epicly fail) I'm not shocked the trend has continued till now. Now, I had hoped and even said that 3rd party support would pick up, it hasn't (significantly).

Now, from a business perspective, I can't figure out why some of the larger multiplatform companies haven't put significant support into the Wii. Putting only crap games on the market leader is a waste of resources especially when just one 3rd party could move in with significant support and pick up all the sales that Nintendo doesn't take which would be like being the only legitimate publisher on the PS3 or X360.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Well of course it is with the release of Move and Kinect.

Although PS360 trounce the Wii's software constantly so it's not surprising.

The Iphone gets games the Wii doesn't, there's more to this than just decision made in 2005, it's been 4 years, you can't tell me it's because they thought the PS3 was going to be the leader, that worked in 2007.
