Is Wii dominating the market somehow a VGC fad?

I didn't notice. Thanks for creating a thread to point it out. :)

I missed you and your nudeness.



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

All those mainstream media interviews about Myamoto, Wii fit and the sales themselves are clearly ensuring people don't forget whos on top this gen.

Its the Myamoto fist bump, not that it needs it.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I've actually gotten over the Wii, by which I mean I don't care if it does well anymore. I am perfectly fine with Nintendo existing as it always has existed in video games. In fact if the Wii helps get MS out of video games I'm all for the Wii going infinitely higher.

One pointer though, I would include ongoing PS2 sales when taking about the Wii's share. It is fair to exclude any PS2 sales before the Wii was out (though then I would exclude 360 sales before the Wii was out too) but for the last few years people have had a choice between PS2, Wii, PS3 and 360 and many of them continue to pick the PS2; in fact some weeks so many pick the PS2 it passes up the 360!

If you make it a 4 way race between Wii, 360, Ps2 and PS3 the Wii is still in 1st, but its more like 33%. Every time I go to gamestop there are still TONs of moms buying PS2 games and consoles for their kids. I mean lego batman is lego batman, its not like a 10 year old is going to complain about it not being in 1080p.

PS1 sold better than the Gamecube and Xbox for their first years too (possibly comparable to PS2 sometimes, but as we don't have weekly sales except for Japan we can't know, but shipment-wise it did well).. it doesn't change what generation they are in.

SNES sold better than the PS1 for probably it's first whole year and a bit.
