Ok im not very smart, great defense there as always. I "tried to take a jab at you" you must be depressed in your life to think there can be hate across an internet forum, lol, just post what you like, people will know you for what you are and for the stuff you post.

Not gonna respond anything coming from you anymore, bye poop.

Both of you need to stop it RIGHT NOW! Maybe you should settle this out on the Brawl battle field!


Brawl hasnt been released in my country yet, so damn it, I wish I could get it now, im so hyped, the wait is surely gonna be worth it.

Wii Sports is also a catalyst game, but of a slightly different sort from the norm. It's a pack-in catalyst, meaning it draws consumers to the system. These games have a key advantage over normal catalyst games, in that they get the ball rolling alongside all other catalyst games released for a system. Which can lead to a lot of momentum for new purchasers of the system, with enough available.

Oh, and it's utterly pointless to point out that the Wii's sales would not have launched into the stratosphere without Wii Sports, because that scenario did not and cannot come to pass.

I hate Wii Sports with a passion. They should replace it with Galaxy as the "pack-in" game. Now that would truly draw consumers in. People don't buy the Wii for Wii Sports. It only exists to show what the Wii can do. It's a Tech Demo. Wii Sports did almost nothing. I sold mine immediately.


I bought my Wii at launch because of Wii Sports. It's a very good marketing tool, and only appears otherwise to hardcore niche gamers.

 Wii sports appeals to more people than SMG.  I for example hated it.  Everybody in my family plays Wii sports while SMG is waiting for me to have no more games and then maybe i will finish it.

im sure its been said. The Wii will NEVER be touched this gen.....never, theres no way, unless nintendo simply closes its doors or does something mindbogglingly stupid, it will NEVER let go of the #1 spot. The 360 never had a chance, early launch and only 1 region of strength....it is was and will be inevitable, i wouldnt be surprised if the PS3 passes the 360 by this time next year......once GT, MGS come stateside and europe....Killzone comes out stateside and europe and FF, FF vs, and GT, Last Remnant (will push more PS3's than 360's in japan) come to japan

The wii, is out of the discussion at this point imo. But the PS3 STILL has its biggest cards to play....it has adoption of BD over summer and fall, not to mention essentilly ALL of the killer apps people have been waiting years for.....we still have GTA, MGS, GT, FF, God of War......the 360 has blown its load, the only marquee games it has are GTA and GoW2.......the balls in the PS3's court, as long as the wii isnt playing, lol.

Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Wii Fit are perfect examples of casual games. And boy, oh boy, I don't like casual games. Casual games = easy games. That's it. This whole "casual" thing is making Wii games TOO EASY!!! Nintendo, STOP!

In my opinion you can't be dominating and still be in last place. And the last time I looked the PS3 is still in last place in installed base.

Though it is dominating in terms of current sales, its not sony's fault microsoft decided to release there nex gen console 13 months before the PS3 was launched in NA, and japan. And about 17 months before it was released in europe and OTHER territories.

The past 3 months have gone to the console which is currently higher priced. With only but 4 AAA titles 2 of which are multiplatform, and 2 of which are exclusive. I say if the PS3 is outselling the Xbox 360 in every single region, that is something to look at. If ps3 were at that $279.99 price the 360 arcade is, I would say blu-ray alone would have smashed the 360.

4 AAA titles???

1. Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfarePS3Activision437.893.621%
2. The Elder Scrolls IV: OblivionPS3Bethesda Softworks537.793.189%
3. Rock BandPS3MTV Games26--90.892%
4. Uncharted: Drake's FortunePS3SCEA678.989.828%
5. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year EditionPS32K Games4--89.000%
6. Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of DestructionPS3SCEA698.388.540%
7. Burnout ParadisePS3Electronic Arts409.087.388%
8. The Orange BoxPS3EA Games208.987.275%
9. Ninja Gaiden SigmaPS3Tecmo518.786.994%
10. Resistance: Fall of ManPS3SCEA777.986.698

AAA = 90%+

Where is the forth one? I only see three? Oh... Maybe it's... INVISIBLE!!! Ooooooooo!!!

Two of them are Playstation 3 exclusive? So only one... I mean two... Because one is invisible... Of these games are also on the Xbox 360? Man, oh, man, the Xbox 360 needs some more AAA games! Ignore the links below. They serve no purpose.

Ok, that AAA bullshit your spittin is ridiculous.  Uncharted is off by .180%, so its not AAA?  I hate the f*ckin term AAA, people can't even get the term straight.  Christ, please, if you've been involved in playing and watching the best games this generation you know what is AAA and what is not.  Ratchet and Uncharted are both "AAA", I can't speak for the others.

Nintendo is not going to stop making casual games. Why would they when they sell better than non-casual games? They're not going to go casual-exclusive either, but asking them to stop making casual games is basically asking them to stop being a smart company and let the competition have a shot at beating them. No sane corporation fails to play its strengths. And your not liking it doesn't matter one whit to them, because you're one consumer in a sea of millions.

As much as I like Gran Turismo, they are all the same. Sure, the graphics, sound, and controls improve over time, but they are still, pretty much the same games. You might as well drive a real racing car, or a real course... If you could... But they are pretty much all the same. Yes, they are good games. They all got amazing reviews... Except for the fact that number 4 fell a bit short... But at the end, if you've played Gran Turismo 3, you've played every single Gran Turismo game. Done! Number 5 will make the rest obsolete, unless it bombs, which is highly unlikely, but I said the same with Sonic the Hedgehog, but it will still be, pretty much, the same thing.

Uncharted is not an AAA game. It missed the mark by .180%. 0.99 is not 1. Okay? I hate the stupid AAA thing too, but most of the people here only speak video game language. You can't teach English to everyone. Ratchet and Uncharted are AA games. They are not AAA games. Stop messing with the rules of the game reviews. This is why Metacritic, and Game Rankings exist. They exist, so that people don't have to follow single, worthless opinions anymore, but the average of a compilation of many opinions, which is far more accurate on determining how good a game is. But when you try to force your opinion through these websites, and try to change things around, it makes the whole thing worthless, doesn't it? YOU ARE WRONG!
