Does this thread benefit anything or anyone?

I agree with the guy, not on the part that you get beaten by a 4 year old but the lack of games, I bought 5 Wii games and are not very good, not even Zelda, I really need to buy RE but I already finish it on GC.
Hopefully everything will change with Mario and Brawl, I've been playing a lot more 360 and its great!!!!!!

Stop flaming him, yes I agree the thread doesn't really say anything of interest but if you don't care about it let it die. He had the right to post it.

And you got slammed for a negative Wii article as expected.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

The thread is fine. The people attacking it aren't.


I know two people who have sold their Wii's after being dissapointed with the software lineup and a third who is considering it. One guy won the Wii, and decided that he didn't have friends over enough to justify the multiplayer based console so he sold it for full price

One guy got it for Zelda, beat Zelda, and sold it one week before Super Paper Mario came out because he didn't think there was any other good games for it,

And the third guy got Zelda one week before he got his Wii, and now doesn't play it very much because, once again, he doesn't think there are any other good games for it.

What I found most interesting was that in each case, they actually had no idea what the games for it were. So "I don't know what games the Wii has" became "It has no good games"

I think it's just part of the Zelda effect. Normally it takes a while for the AAA games to come to a console. So when one comes out so soon, people that normally would have waited till a year or two into the consoles life cycle to buy it end up getting it before they normally would. I have no doubt that most people getting rid of their wii's now (at full price!) will be getting Wii's again in a year or so.


I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

@robjoh: if a 4 year old beats him at Wii Sports Tennis like that, he shouldn't really buy Strikers, specially not for online.

 hheeh why not? he might learn that he can't play



 

 

Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!

Oops, I was still logged in as that alternate name on this computer.

Anyway, about the post.  It's fine, I know plenty of people that think the same thing.

I can forgive Nintendo and other developers though, because nobody thought the Wii would do so well.

Up until E3, nobody expected Nintendo would break through in the way it did...developers had no time to make big, quality games.

The reason we've been getting little mini games is partly because it's quick to put out in time, to keep the flow of games going. The high-quality games will start coming later this year and next year, because a lot of these games didn't start development until after the Wii became a hit.

I'm willing to wait for new games...the DS was pretty slow at first...I can see the Wii getting a big refreshing later this year into next year.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I agree with stof, the Zelda effect made a big difference in mobilizing the hardcore crowd, who since haven't been satisfied. A friend who waited in line with me on launch day returned his Wii after beating Zelda. It just didn't have anything coming for several months. He plans to buy another Wii as soon as MP3 comes out.
