Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii is doomezd

the wii isnt doing as well as it did some Months ago, but ... orly? there are 75m Wii's sold rite now, there's still a huge gap between Wii - PS360, and if they somehow make it to that number, their sales will go lower too, since there arent infinite Customers.

 

Its not like the sales are a revolution. lol.

Yes, but Michael Pachter is predicting a huge holiday season for the Wii. So it is, in fact, doomed.





Above: still the best game of the year.

You're wrong, Wii's never been doomezd, the correct term is d0med.

I really don´t get all the doomed bs people say about any console. I mean I wouln´d care if nintendo was in third place as long as they can profit and survive in the console business

I really felt like they were going to leave the home console business close to the end of last gen. And people thought the wii was going to sell really bad. If anything the wii already sold close to 3 times more than what I expected it to.

Even analists thought it would do poorly. some thought it was going to sell 11 million tops in America by 2011 http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/17/another-analyst-another-prediction-ps3-on-top-in-2011/ and it has already sold more than double of that.

So I think it did wonderfull. and to repeat myself, I don´t care if it was third as long as nintendo can profit to keep making consoles. 

I tell you the day I can´t play a Mario game on a Nintendo console is the day I stop gaming. I just love nintendo so much and it would kill me if I couldn´t see them make a console anymore



To quote Khuutra, "People be all up in a tizzy" when it comes to console sales. It's normal, it happens, and it'll continue into the unforseeable future. And everyone does it, doesn't matter if you're all in a tizzy for Wii sales, 360 sales, PS3 sales, etc. etc. People like to see their console of choice do well (no harm in that), and once in a while we'll get people who like to see consoles they don't like not do well (I find harm in that).

So yeah, congrats to the PS3 and the success that Move has brought it. All I see is another reason that Motion Controls are here to stay, and are no longer some fad useful for only one console, sent to disappear after this generation is over. People love 'em, and we'll continue to see Motion gaming grow and evolve before our eyes.

So yeah, don't mind Toastboy's 10th thread about how Wii's in trouble, celebrate the fact that it's been such a huge success in the industry and continues to sell incredibly well (saw a 40% rise in sales this week, so that's a great sign). Celebrate the fact that we're getting some awesome games to play this holiday (dibs on Epic Mickey!). And celebrate that it's a great time to be a gamer. ^_^

Yeah, when I took a look at your sig I knew that Wii wasn't going to be your main console of choice. That said, I think it's really cool how you made this thread. People aren't used to seeing fans "from other consoles" (as that's what its pretty much become... we like to make sides and draw lines, but that's the console war for ya. ) support another console (which is why Nintendogamer thought you were drunk lol!).

Much respect man. ^_^



It isn't because I predicted it wouldn't! I clearly have high hopes for the Wii based that I had the highest Wii holiday prediction...
