WiiU is backwards compatible with the Wii I dont see why someone would buy a Wii if they could buy a WiiU and play all the Wii games anyway.

I never owned a Wii but I got a WiiU and Im thinking about ordering the Last Story when I have finished (read goten a platinum trophy or complete 100% of the game) Dark Souls, Lightnign Returns, Castlevania 2, Infamous Second Son and DK Tropical Freeze (in other words not for a long time hehe)


Playing GC games! the original Wii has an amazing side panel that opens to allow 4 gc controllers and 2 memory cards slot into it, pretty much every GC game can be played on it, which is pretty cool considering there are some proper Gems on the GC and that is a far rarer system to find than a Wii.

if nintendo do a chinese version...



No chance



It's kinda unreal how much the Wii fell off, at one point it was tracking to obliterate both the PS1 and PS2 and maybe even flirt with 200 million.

The thing was it was selling so much because it was pretty cheap and the Wii was a damn sturdy piece of hardware. The reason it stopped... was everyone who is a gamer has one sitting under their TV.

I do think the wii is in its final stages now, if people are going to be buying one you can find them used in any gaming or general 2nd hand store for around 40euros. There really wont be that many new Wiis sold considering for a small bit more you can get a Wii-U with its full backwards compatibility, heck the only reason you would want a wii over a wii-u is its ability to play GC games and that was removed on the later models so you'd definitely be getting a pre-owned system rather than a new sale.

Gotta say tho, nice thread and thought put into the OP "Newguy" could use a few more Newguys around here making cool threads like this.


Thanks man, I have a bias like everyone else, but I am platform agnostic when it comes to data. I try to be objective and just present the facts. I created a new thread on if PS3 and 360 will reach 100 million, lots of reference material there and good reads if you're interested in that kind of stuff and want to make an educated guess yourself.

I'm interested in seeing the new shipments for the 3 companies by the end of March. Wii's JP and EU numbers should be close to zero since they discontinued it in those territories.



Close but not close enough.



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.
