Forums - Nintendo - So... whats the big game for this year/holiday season on wii then? :/

BengaBenga on 20 July 2008

I really laugh at everyone predicting doom for Nintendo this holiday seasons because they don't have Gears or Resistance.

People really don't see what's coming this holiday. You better be prepared for total Wii domination in both hardware and software. Wii is going to sell an insane 9 million wii's this November+December.

Think about that for a minute.

And think about the implications that will have for the software sales.

Armageddon will begin in November for those who still had hopes for a HD dominated videogame industry.

Another issue is there are still tons of games that new Wii owners haven't bought yet.

WiiPlay, WiiFit, SMG, MP3, Zelda, Smash, etc...

All of these will continue to sell through the holidays, why would they want to add more competition?

Because not all Wii owners/users dont want those games wether the new one or the old ones. Thats why consoles needs more new games to satisfy the gamers.

Even how good the game is there is one point in time a gamer will feel tired of the same game everyday...

Wii owners don't want these games?  They are buying thousands of copies a week of games that have been out for 23+ weeks.  I am talking from Nintendo's pov.

Out of that list, I'm gonna buy Mario Galaxy and Zelda TP. I already own RE:UC. These 3 games were released in 2006/2007. There is only one game in 2008 that interests me and that is Tales. 1 game in a single year!

You beat me there... I knew you will post about DS games. But still lets wait if SSBB will sell, about Wii Fit lets see if Wii Fit will sell alone with only the peripheral with just Wii Fit alone, without other games supporting it.

 

We'll see. I'll hold on to this thread.

Edit: I forgot to put the smiley.
Wanna bet on that? LOL... :P

 

 

What's the bet. WiiFit will sell 100k+ week world wide for the rest year? I really don't think you should bet against that.

 
(1) Im betting the 100+ week just for Wii Fit alone and not because of the games coming from the peripheral like Rabbids TV party and Shaun White snowboarding till May. If the balance board sell because of Wii Fit alone you win. (2) The SSBB was simple, if SSBB  sell for 100+ a week till May you win...

 

 

 

So let me get this straight.  There are two separate bets.

1. If no other balance board games come out then you think it will sell less than 100k a week and I don't.  The problem is a game is already out. We Family Ski.

Also Jillians Fitness Nonsense and EA's Fitness Nonsense. Along with G1 Jockey which is big in japan will have balance board support, this will be out this year (Horse Racing + Wii Fit Balance Board = easy sales in japan).  And then you are gonna say I won it unfairly because you didn't know that.

2. I won't take that bet about Smash because it is not a sure thing.  Through January 1st, I will though.

 

What do you want to wager?

 

Yushire????

Where'd ya go?



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

So you say Super Smash Bros World Wide will drop below 100k for atleast 1 week from now through January 1st.

I say it will stay over 100k every week from now through January 1st
