I think this was true in the past with PS1 and PS2, which is why Sony dominated. Xbox was hardcore, and 360 has been, but I think Microsft is trying to expand the 360 base and appeal to RPG fans and children and even casual gamers a bit. The gamecube appealed to Nintendo fans and children, which put them in a corner. While I absoultly loved the GC (only console I had last gen) I wished it had a few more great third party games like RE4 and Viewtiful Joe and Monkey Ball and ToS.

This gen... the Wii is for everyone, just like the DS. The DS started with hardcore fans, and then branched out to casuals, starting with Nintendogs. After that it took over. Wii takeover will take about as long; Nintendo started with Hardcore Nintendo fans (zelda) and cusuals (Wii sports) this time, but unlike the DS they wern;t first to market, as the 360 had already captured alot of the hardcore.

The PS3 may still appeal to everyone, but with its high price appealing to everyone may stretch itself to thin an fail to capture any one of its former bases fully. In the end PS3 should be able to get a 2nd place and break even or almost break even, but Sony will lose alot of its fans to Nintendo and Microsoft. Personally I think Sony should have gone with a $300 PS3 at launch without BR and had comparable yet worse graphics to the 360 (similar to GC vs Xbox)

 

not for the hardcore crowd

You really are asking to get owned, right?

 

No More Heroes, The Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess, Batallion Wars, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty - World at War, Castlevania Judgement, The Conduit, Disaster - Day of Crisis, Fire Emblem, Manhunt 2, Medal of Honor - Heros 2, Monster Hunt 3, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil Zero, Starwars - The Force Unleashed, Tales of Symphonia..Do I need to continue?

 

Bro, we all know that most of those hardore games suck royally on the wii and if they are not out yet, thew will suck...and you mentioned some casual games

Don't get me wrong dude, I love the wii...hell I actually want one for brawl. I will pick up a wii very soon, probaly tommorrow...its just that it does not have an audience outside of casual. Who honestly would buy Cod4 or 5 on the wii? Its that bad...and every real gamer knows that.

 

*thread opened again*

Your post has the most hypocrisy I have ever seen on this forum.

You know NOTHING about those games! You do not know anything. Your tell was when you said you didn't know if they were out.

Those games do not suck. They are good. No More Heroes is great, and Tales of Symphonia, and Resident Evil 4. Do some research before you assume anything.

You are just trolling now and grasping at straws. Maybe you want a Wii, that does not mean you aren't a Sony Fanboy. Riot has a Wii for Brawl yet he hates it.

The Wii has hardcore games, you just don't want your point to be disproven.

 

First off, let me give you some wet wipes to dry your tears...lol I was talking about cod and star wars will suck compared PS/360 versions, but the games I put in bold letters are pretty much casuals...and those games rock. So dont take this too personally.

 



Around the Network

Whaaat there is seriously someone here that wants to bet that PS3 in 2009 will equal Wii's 2008 sales?!?

That's the dumbest bet ever. Wii will outsell the best year the PS2 ever had with 5 million or more this year. PS3 will struggle to sell 12 million this year and you expect it to DOUBLE that?!? Based on what? FF13? GT5? Or some Sjeik that will buy 10 million PS3's for his people?

There exist something like logic you know?



Wet wipes to DRY my tears!?!?

No, if you don't have a Wii, you have no idea how good the games are. And I seriously doubt you went onto Gamerankings and looked up EVERY game.

Besides, no one holds a bet out for that long. 1 1/2 years?

That is how long I've been on the site.

I mean that PS3 will pass 40 million by the end of 2009, and wii will pass it this year



Actually, I know they're good because of previews and reviews from different sites and opinions from VGChartz that I have been reading over the span of a few months.

And how do I make a bet?!

 



40 Mil by 09?

You do know how impossible that is for the PS3 right? It would have to be selling like the Wii by 09. And it isn't going to.
