Forums - Sales Discussion - 20 million sellers for the wii!

Whoa, 20 million already? That's a lot!

I really hated SatSR. Of all the Wii titles I have bought, it was still my biggest disappointment - and the one title I could never recommend to anyone.

Its unfortunate as well - the game has so much potential - but just enough flaws to ruin the gameplay experience.

...

Apart from this, 20 million sellers is a pretty good start - considering that almost half (?) of them are 3rd-party titles.



Gesta Non Verba

Nocturnal is helping companies get cheaper game ratings in Australia:

Game Assessment website

Wii code: 2263 4706 2910 1099

Afraid half aren't million sellers. 7 of 20, so 35%. And that is counting Mario and Sonic solely as Sega, even though Nintendo gets most money from it, right?

What might be more shocking, is that in a week, half of those 20 will be 2 million sellers. Half of the million sellers will have sold 2M. That is kind of odd.

Another fact is that it has only 34 Gold sellers.

For a comparison against X360 and Ps3

Wii:

Gold titles: 34
Platinum titles: 20
% of gold that make platinum: 58%
Plasma titles: 10
% of Platinum that makes Plasma: 50%
% of gold that make Plasma: 30%

Ps3:

Gold titles: 20
Platinum sellers: 8
% of Gold that makes Platinum: 40%
Plasma titles: 4
% of Platinum that makes Plasma: 50%
% of gold titles that make Plasma: 20%

X360:
Gold titles: 64
Platinum titles: 34
% of gold that makes platinum: 52%
Plasma titles: 12
% of Platinum that make plasma: 35%
% of gold that makes plasma: 19%

As you see, when a Wii game sells, it sells much more. I don't really know what this means though.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Great news for the Wii.




Nintendo still doomed?

It means there are lots of people who want to be buy wii games, but not a lot of great games to choose from, so the better games available for the wii do sell really well.

I for one am still not pleased with Nintendo's third party support. Simply making money is a fine argument for those who own a 360 or PS3 to offset the lack of games, but when all you own is a Wii, those games like COD4, RE5, DMC4 and Assassin's Creed start to look pretty damn enviable.

The Wii is getting, for the most part, the scraps as it stands while the 360/PS3 get the big name games worthy of TV commercials while the Wii gets... Zack & Wiki and Umbrella Chronicles...

z&w is better than any of those big name games imo...it all depends on what u like and are looking for

Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

Predictions:

Wii will sell 18-20mil by 12/31/07  CHECKWii will sell 45mil+ WW by 12/31/08Wii will surpass PS2 sales WW by 11/17/11 (5yr anniversary)Wii Fit will hit 12mil sales in 2009MKWii+SSBB+Wii Fit+SMG > 50 mil sales by 2010 > gta4+mgs+gt5+ff13+haze+lbp

 I agree 100% with what you said.  Worst purchase for me as well.  I got so pissed off at the game that I got a huge migraine like you wouldn't believe and I almost felt like some of those other crazy people who killed because of a game.  This game mad me that angry and I kid you not... :(  

If this game had it's controls, hit detection and level design fixed it would be pretty damn cool.  However as it stands it's just a giant piece of poop.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Be glad you didn't get Snoic for the 360 or PS3.... Their Sonic games were worse than the wii one.



I don't like seeing somebody getting jumped on for stating a general fact. Wether people or not like it their are such things as good, bad and average games. You might not personally agree with every single games average review score but the fact is the majority of the time the majority of people agree about how good or bad a game is. Now all you have to do is look at gamesrankings.com to see the quality of games out for the 3 systems and you'll get an idea where things stand. Taking vgchartz million seller list for each console and then taking the average review score for each game we get this:

x360 - number of games that fall between the following review score brackets:
95-100% - 1
90-95% - 7

Let me show you the RELEVANT numbers:

Xbox 360: 32 million sellers score 75% or higher

Wii: 11 million sellers score 75% or higer

PS3: 6 million sellers score 75% or higher

There. Makes the Wii look a lot better, don't it?
