Yep the HD graphics/consoles appeal have worn off, even if the 360, and HD console, is the only system up YoY, while matching it's previous year's price.

Come on people, everyone isn't going to like everything. It's just their take, they're allowed to have that.

Whatever you want to call it, the system is on the right side of things. And again, I'm not sure why some of you personalize this so much. Not everyone is going to always put the Wii in a positive light, just like any other console.

which ones? I don't remember.

Oh well, anyway thanks Ready at Dawn for....uhm...trying? to make..eh.. good games on the wii?

The only thing they have done is a port of a PS2 game. They have never ever tried to make anything for the console so why are there complaining?

And the "wii collects dust" is just absurd. The only people that would play all day all week are nerds and geeks that have nothing better to do. The real world, which i she one that bought the wii, has jobs, families and obligations and the wii, like TV is a pass-time.

Besides I know many acquaintances that have Xbox'es and rarely play with them.

This absurd hardcore internet trolling towards the wii is getting boring and absurd. Why it hasn't died anyway? Like Testres anti-wii posts, they are not funny anymore.

Wii is in decline, but don't pretend interest in the other platforms is accelerating either. PS3 purchasing rates per user are barely set to be above Wii purchasing rates this year, its just that PS3 is at record hw levels while Wii is in its second decline year.

You have to remember, there are virtually no consoles in the history of gaming that have averaged more than five game purchases per year. So the fact that Wii is on pace for a 165m sw year (including bundles) means that it has anywhere from 70 million active users purchasing slightly more than two games per year, to as few as, if people really don't use their Wiis, something like 30 million active users purchasing five games a year on average.

My impression on the Wii arc is people buy 3-5 games year one for Wii, 2-4 games year two, 1-3 games year three, 0-2 games year four, 0-1 games year five on average. After five years most people end up with 6 to 15 games - with far more on the low side, which is why the attach rate overall is consistently around 8 games / user lifetime.

I guess you havent been following me for a long time, you wouldnt want to get banned again would you?

I have yet to remember a positive thread about the wii from you in all these years in VGC. I may be wrong though, but I doubt it.

BTW I wasn't banned. I just didn't log in a long time because of my job.And don't be so sensitive

If what was said about HD graphics is true, why are visuals (in general) still a hot topic? No matter how much people choose to ignore it, in the age we live in, visuals do matter. Otherwise, the HD consoles would have been obsolete from Jump St. Halo: Reach, for example, would have kept the "outdated" Halo 3 engine and gone on from there. Insomniac wouldn't be busting their tails to make sure Resistance 3 can compete with other PS3 exclusives.

Obviously, if motion controls were of less importance, Sony and Microsoft wouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon. If people stopped and thought about that, you'd see just how your response to that idea is just as irrational, which is my ultimate point.

Lastly, I'm not sure what you mean by the 360 was on the wrong side for so long. Perhaps you could elaborate further.

Edit: I'm not looking to just battle over words, or we'll be here all day. I just think people shouldn't get so touchy over this, especially when this isn't the first nor last time the system will receive this type of treatment.
