Well at the time when the Wii sold out you cold find it on amazon fore more then a price of the PS3. and if people want to trade (Witch I think happened at that time)  them then that’s there choice that doesn’t make them suffer from what you said :P Actually it is like saying that you are suffering from the same thing if you buy it fore the same price ;)             Well your at the very least not very smart if you know you'll be able to get it for /2 price in 2 weeks.

I was smart enough too sleep over next too my mal too buy it at launch. I am not saying would do that as I can wait lol I am a Nintendo fan I am used too waiting. but really sometimes you want too make somebody happy and you can’t wait (birthday or Christmas) and when it comes too that I don’t care how much I pay to make somebody happy. And that’s the kind of people that might trade in there thing too make someone happy as they know there is plenty of it so they can buy it later. And if I and other do this thing then we are stupid.. lol that’s allot of happy :P

You guys are so delusional...

Wii isn't Gamecube. It gets boosts from non-traditional Nintendo fare and probably has the best support of any Nintendo console since the SNES.

Animal Crossing is at nearly 10m units on DS first of all. It did almost 3m even on GC. You should be expecting Animal Crossing Wii to do between those two figures on Wii.  The other game, Wii Music can probably do 2-5m worldwide at least. Those two alone would be enough to keep Wii rolling along until Motion Plus games come out in Spring 2009.

The Wii attach rate for the average owner is 6.37 right now, excluding Wii Sports.

Do you really think from a group of traditional Nintendo fare (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, Mario Party 8, Mario Strikers, Mario Sluggers, Warioland, virtual console & all Gamecube games ), new-era Nintendo fare (Wii Sports, Warioware, Wii Music, Wii Fit, Wii Play, Animal Crossing, Big Brain Academy, Crossbow Training, and Wii Ware), traditional third party hits (Sonic, RE: UC, RE4, Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, MySims, Madden, The Simpsons, De Blob, Tales, Nights, Red Steel, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty 5 etc) and new-era third party hits (Rayman 1-3, Game Party, Carnival Games, Deca Sports, We Ski, DDR, Rockband, Guitar Hero III, GH: WT, Mario & Sonic, Cooking Mama, Boom Blox, Zack & Wiki, etc) that new Wii owners can't find say 5-8 games to play over the life of the system?

Thats what it would take for it to slow down - new demographics no longer finding 5-8 games they would want to play on the system.

It is true that if the whole world is composed of nothing but idiots that don't care about the quality of games they buy and only want something with the word Nintendo on it, then the Wii will continue to sell like hot cakes. However, if it isn't then I expect the other two consoles to do a bit of catching up and possibly in the case of the 360 even taking back its position as the number one selling console in America later this year because Nintendo really bombed at E3 2008 and failed to show anything new that would make someone whom hasn't already been interested in purchasing a Wii feel compelled to do so.

 

Welcome to the site troll777! Way to insult all Nintendo fans in a thread IN THE NINTENDO SECTION by spewing your garbage and calling us all 'Idiots'. Also, I really appreciate you stating your opinion as fact, that's always fun for everybody. Looking into my crystal ball, I forsee a few bans in your future before you learn how to be a decent poster.

At $199.99 with Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, Banjo Kazooie, Viva Pinata 2, Too Human, and Tales of Vesperia, the 360 dominates.

Think your post needs some editing. Hmmm......little there......scratch that......hmmm.....ok....GOT IT

Games this year for the 360 that will sell significantly

• Gears of War 2

I'm not kidding you. A lot of these games won't have pushing power. Fallout never broke a millions sales, Left 4 Dead will do mediocre on the 360, Rare games don't sell on the X-Box line, Too Human has little hype or name recognition and RPGs don't preform well on the 360.

Truth is that it all comes down to sales, and Fanboys love to overhype how well a game will do and how influencial it will be. Nintendo isn't losing steam becuase they are having the best year. With Smash, Mario Kart, and Wii Fit already out (all of which broke 5 million sold) and Wii Music and Animal Crossing coming out later, their profits will be though the roof.

A strong library of games helps, but sales are what is going to matter in a business sence, which helps create a strong line up of games. Don't expect the Wii to falture, but only go up.

Or maybe he makes that money in 1 day of work and prefers to buy the console overpriced and enjoy it for the next 2 weeks.

People buying overpriced things are usually smart, otherwise they wouldn't have the money to pay :)

I'm really sorry to hear about your horrible video game collection.

   = quality... do you understand?

 And FaithRaven i hope that makes sense too him ;)

 

So, how much steam would the Wii have to lose for the PS3 to eventually outsell it? Is "kazibatrillion" a quantifiable amount of steam?

this thread is a trap for the Wii fanboys

baph777 said: Almost all of the games that the major sites showed in their post E3 2008 most anticipated games for the remainder of 2008 are 360 and PS3 titles. The only Wii games that appear on a few of the lists are Animal Crossing; however, one can only hope that what Nintendo showed at E3 wasn't really the best parts of the game as it didn't even seem to match up to the Gamecube version; The Blob, and Little King Story. With the wealth of AAA titles coming to the PS3 and 360 this holiday season plus games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and GTA IV that many people are still going to have on their holiday wish lists, it can be expected that during the 2008 holiday season, Wii sales levels will fall to Gamecube levels.   And it is already starting.  Looking at this week's sales chart for America, I notice that at $299 with NCAA Football '09, the 360 comes within less than 3,000 units of topping.  At $199.99 with Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, Banjo Kazooie, Viva Pinata 2, Too Human, and Tales of Vesperia, the 360 dominates.

 

You're lucky you haven't made a large enough name for yourself, for me to remember this post.

 

A. You assume that the Wii sales based on the core first party software released.

B. You assume that the Wii will sell LESS consoles this christmas, than it's selling right now?

C. You assume that this weeks Wii numbers are starting a trend?

 

Do you know how hardcore owned and disproven your, hopefully, satirical comments will be. You made absolute predictions based off faulty information, and they have absolutely zero basis in reality.

It's obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about.

If you think that this reply is my attempt at ownage, think again. This is just pointing out the ovbvious. You would know when ownage hits. It is always accompanies by decisive evidence and deserves its own thread. Again, keep spouting off ignorance like this and it'll find you.
