Noooooo!!! it cant be!?!? 47.1 %, it jumped and astounding 0.1 % more from last week?! I am in awe...lol

based on wii software sales, i would think that people aren't stopping playing their wii

the # of million-sellers is huge and growing....and historic software sales for first 18 months in US as well...

Oh I see now. You're the sort who plays a game, beats it, never touches it again, and demands a new fix right afterwards. Well, see, that's a bit of a problem. Most people like to get as much out of their games as possible. So the crowd that the Wii Four attract kind of doesn't do it that way. They'll keep playing those games as long as they can. And when they're done? Why they either move upmarket or leave the market. And you can be sure it's been engineered so they'll go upmarket.

There's this prevailing mentality amongst certain gamers that a system has to get constant waves of new software to be successful. What counts is the longevity of the software that sells well, not the volume of new software per month. Longevity of sales means new customers are being made regularly. That counts for more than placating a crowd that, for all their complaints, is the least likely to leave the industry.

Hey wait... Why isn't anyone doing a thread whenever PS3 jumps up a .1%?

These threads are getting ridiculous. Call me when Wii hits 50% - party is at my place.

yep; i don't have time for more than wii fit and mario kart

my wife plays wii fit every day; i play it most days (anybody beat 650 in advanced step?)...and mario kart never gets old...never did on snes, n64 or gc either...

because it doesn't really matter; wii moving towards the majority will matter to the industry...ps3 gaining 3% won't make any difference...hd games will still be multi-platform, yadda yadda yadda

wii hitting and then surpassing 50% will mean even more 'hardcore games' for wii, which brings in the gamers that haven't bought one yet, which means more 'hardcore games' etc etc  

Why has this thread derailed into a Wii bashing/defending thread so fast?

hhaahahahah...sad.

Haha,  I tip my hat to you. Only you can agrue that lack of software is a good thing... Using sales stats and market metrics it would appear you are correct. However I begin to doubt you play games at all if you are defending the Wii's drought of software at this point. Its great that Wii owners like to replay the same games, even without online play or leaderboards for most...but that is definetly a different "market" of gamers nintendo is going after...compared to where I'm at.

Because a thread was created for Wii moving 0.1% on the VGchartz marketshare board. What were you expecting, people to open champagne and celebrate?
