Forums - Nintendo - Time to update the Wii Bingo board?

Final-Fan on 27 April 2008

Parents buy Wiis/games for kids who don't even want them!
(kingofwale via trestres)

Developers see PS3, Xbox360 and PC as a single platform. It is more profitable.
Good third party games don't sell well on Wii.
The media say ...
(thanks ItsaMii)

Also:
Gamecube 1.5/2.0/DUCT TAPE

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

hehe, Duct tape never gets old

A definite candidate that won't be going out of style any time soon:

(Anecdote), and that's why Wii will/does fail.

It is basically a general-purpose version of several of the above suggestions, but it's good to slim it down a bit since there's so many candidates...

My absolute favorite:

Only PS3 & 360 *actually* compete; Wii is in a different market!

That's already a pretty good list. I would add:

Only games with "Wii" or "Mario" in the title sell on the Wii.
Games are dumbed down, see Mario Kart Wii!!! LULZ
What if the novelty of the Wiimote wears off?
When Sony/MS release this peripheral, Wii sales will slow down...
Why would you want to swing around your arms in an RPG? LOL!!


Since you are my favourite analyst and Wii bingo board is such a nice thing, I will reply to this.

13 of 15 top sellers have either wii or mario!

Did the wii sales slow from 2009? Kinect and move was released in 2010. Let's see.

Wii sales 2009: 21,2m

Wii sales 2010: 17,3m

Wii sales 2011: 11,5m

Looks like that is also a hit! I guess that could be that novelty of wiimote has also gone. 2 hits!

 

Yes, who want's to play for example xenoblade/monster hunter/last story with wiimote? Judging by these forums and the fact that those games have bundles with CCP, I'd say that is a hit too. Can I call it?

 

BINGO!

Here are some more (credit to Million):

Nintendo already used all its major IPs!
The casual market is unpredictable.
The Wii already looks dated now.
When MS and Sony release their next consoles with motion sensing controllers, the Wii is finished.
The only way Nintendo can keep selling is to release the Wii 2.

Well, I don't know what the last sentence exactly means, but that's not my problem. 

Hey, there is more. Do I get a bonus for these hits?

pretty much, sometimes i feel like the last hold out but i know there are at least 4-5 users older than me...well active users.  i think rol might be the only one around long enough to witness/remember my transition from nintendo fanboy to nintendo hater.
