Forums - Gaming - Without Wii Sports series, would the Wii still have won last gen?

Wii = Wii Sports, so absolutely not.

No, it was something new and unique and you just wanted to try it because it was for everybody. Today it wouldn't do the same job as well.



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Probably not but I could say the same thing for PS3 and Xbox 360 if I took away Call of Duty which was their biggest seller. You need that one game that is a mega hit. That is the real problem I see with next-gen right now is there are some great games, especially on Wii U, just no mega hits.

Assuming all other games still released and came out at same time.

 

Also. Motion control......everything the same except for those two games ever being made.


Lets be honest Wii only won the first half of last gen. It was seriously lagging behind in the last two years. Especially in 2013, Wii was dead and being replaced by Wii U while the Ps3 and Xbox 360 both manage to sell over 5 million consoles.

Nintendo had three major hits last gen, Wii Sports, Wii Fit and Just Dance captured the casual and female crowd. Then you add in the hardcore gamers that played the Zelda, Mario nad other gamers adn you get a 100 Millions hardware seller consoles.



You can't think of the Wii without Wii Sports.

Nope, Wii sports was the game that basically anyone with a Wii had, even after Nintendo stopped bundling it people still went out of there way to buy it. Also there are a lot of people out there who bought a Wii just to play that game.

Unlikely, it was the perfect software/hardware synergy and pure, simple genius.



Nintendo need to finish Wii Sport Club asap and then do a brand new Wii Sport 2,
plus they must have Fifa 15 on th Wii U with all features,
I would love the Mario Golf to return to Wii U



End 2014:
PS4: 13 million
Wii U: 11 milion
Xbone: 9 million
Nintendo need 2-3 new big games coming Nov-Dec 2014 plus the ones allready annonced



No, it was the distinctive factor that made the general public pay so much attention, else It would have been a great console for nintendo fans and not so attractive for other type of crowd
