I like the notion that the Wii will receive better 3rd party support because of its position in the market space. The fact itself that it's leading is indifferent.

i think you mean more 3rd party support, and more doesn't mean better.


 QFT, I think this to myself everytime the Wii boys start to go off about how 3rd party support for the Wii is increasing.   It may be getting more, but the games I am interested in just aren't there.  That's why I'm happy with my 360, even if it ends up last in sales.


 Excuse me but you mean to tell me that you don't think the quality of 3rd party games for Wii would be better if Wii stays in the lead than had it been in last place this whole time?

Eh, not really, doesn't matter to me much, unless it's running Nintendo out of business. Also, why is this in the Sales Discussion thread, there isn't really any sales to discuss...

It does not matter to me because I would only own Wii even if it were to come in last place.

It does feel nice to see it doing so well, however.

I'm happy just using the two "losing" HD consoles. 95% of all the games I enjoy playing are on the PS360. I have a Wii, but I'm going to sell it pretty soon since I'm going abroad to Japan. I may get one when the next Zelda comes out.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

It just feels so right when a game company sells more hardware than a game division.

I, for one, am not bothered by it at all. I own all the systems anyways so I'm cool with whatever games come out for whichever systems. All I know is that if there is a game I want, I can just buy it. My favorite company is Nintendo but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy games on other consoles due to brand loyalty. That, in itself, would be a videogame travesty.

Are these Wii boys related to Marioboys by any chance?



FaRmLaNd on 02 May 2008

Nope. In fact I'd be more inclined to support the losing console. Australian Tall Poppy syndrome at its finest!

I do find it tougher to decide which multiplatform game to buy for which system though. Great example of this would have been for GTA IV. I only chose it for the 360 due its robust online experience and because the majority of friends only have a 360. What a day it would be if the big three were to collaborate on one unified system.
