but for quality of games, the wii is hurting quality. The wii has about 10 shovelware games per good game. I think developers will worry more about just getting a decent game on the wii to make a quick buck...rather than put time and effort into a really good game. They don't care how good the games are quality wise, they just want to make money however possible...and on the wii its possible to make money on a shovelware game (cough cough *carnival games*).

I think the PS3 and 360 developers worry more about good games. They realize that although good games cost more to make, they sell more and make you more money.

::laugh:: Uhm, no. The gaming market DIED after Atari 2600, and the NES brought it back from out of the gaming depression.


He's right. Even If Sony never showed up, It would've still been Nintendo & Sega going at it, then Xbox. GC vs. XB vs. Sega something. The market would've been alive whether Sony came or not. PS2 actually helped finish off the Dreamcast and Sega as a home console mainstay.

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

I see lots of people that believe the Wii will sell 150M+... are you guys serious? How do you think that is possible? Can someone bother to layout yearly sales estimates for me?

I will start:

At it's current sales performance Wii will be at around 34M by it's 2 year birthday (Oct 2008).

So, 116M to go. How much will the Wii be by it's 3rd birthday in Oct 2009?
How about 2010? 2011? 2012?

Anyone here really believes it will reach 150M by 2012? That's 6 years of Wii and I don't really see the wii lasting that long. I think at the worst case, by 2011 Nintendo will replace it with the Wii Two.

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

 Actually microsoft wouldn't come into the market either , because they wouldn't have felt threatened by sony.

Well casual = shovelware in his eyes. Carnival Games is a great casual game, but I guess that means it's shovelware.

"In the long run wii is very insignificant to gamers, given wiis status as a console of choice for soccer moms women and old people like you said we can expect no serious games other then 3/4 a year from nintnedo.

Wii is more likely to out sale the PS2 but to be "bigger" depending what this means to some it wont happen. Wii will never come close to the kick ass library the PS2 got. "


RedArmia, that made you look smart. You know something people, why the fuck do people get mad because someone is successful? This happened a lot with the Ps1 era. Crazy ass Nintendo fanboys dissed the Ps1 badly and look what happened?

Now it's a bunch of crazy ass Ps3 fanboys dissing Wii. Look what's happening?

p.s.- CaptainPreferences, the Wii broke a lot of Ps2 records recently including fastest console to 10 mil in America and fastest console to 5 mil in Japan. The Ps2 still holds a lead on Wii in Others. (though very small.)


The Wii deseves to be a success. Fuck those who want to bash it. Of course the Wii doesn't have the best games of all time either. A lot of assholes seem to forget that you can't get a mega hit in the first 1.5 year.

Look what the Wii has done so far in its 1.5 year life?

Those who bash the Wii just are jealous that their console is getting bashed.

p.s.- No one can say the Wii is being brought by Ninty fanboys. It is being brought by Ps2 owners also. (i being one of those 120 mil.)



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

krik, that's the biggest load of crap ever. (and considering you have ps3 selling 5 mil closer to Wii this year I don't see why you wouldn't be a Sony fanboy.)

The Wii's minimum by its birthday would be 36mil or a bit higher.

p.s.- krik, get your facts straight. The wii came out Nov-Dec 08. (dec 08 for Others.)
