Wii on par to win christmas easily, no shock there.


Weren't you the one saying that Kinect and Move would dethrone Wii?


No, quite wrong. I've said all along that the Wii would take the holiday season but will be in dire straits in 2011. For the record; I also maintained that Move and Kinect would crash and burn, I'm sure a lot of older members can vouch for that. (Turned out to be pretty wrong there though...).

It seems you don't know my post history very well.

Seems spot on from what I remember of you, Wii fans love to choose random members who they see as HD fans and make up stuff "YOU THERE, you said Wii would crash and burn this holiday, HA!" .. "actually I said the opposite"

 


May have not been one of you guys, but I know a lot of PS3 and 360 fans made claims like that

Lol, yeah, I have no idea where this blindside attack came from!

By all means, if people find that sort of thing entertaining.

Was GCN the most family friendly console?  Why?

Because the gaming media said so. In reality, the PS2 took that crown which comes as no surprise considering the sheer amount of software that was released on it.

I always tough that thanks to software like Signstar and other games ,the PS2 image was more friendly than the bored GCN.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Are we trapped on an endless loop were the Wii will be doomed ?

This matter is discussed every year, the Wii was supposed to be in dire straits 6 months after its release. Then a year. Then 2 years definetelly. Then in 2009 it would totally colapse. In 2010 if a Wii HD doesn't come, Kinect and Move are going to kill the Wii. Now 2011.

 

The Wii was born to be doomed.

GCN was seen as the most "kiddy" think you have the two confused.

"Why is the Wii selling?"

New colors, the cheapest console, bundled games, new third party games like Just Dance, Sonic Colors, and Goldeneye, early holiday shoppers, and the fact that motion controls and a new HD system cost about twice as much.

Also Black Ops, Donkey Kong and soon to be released Epic Mickey. The best holiday for the Wii.



VGChartz Hardware data for the period 31st Oct 2010 to 20th Nov 2010:

 

Console Wii PS3 X360
America

350,091
627,727

3 weeks on Americas so far this month, I wonder how NPD will pan out?
