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

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?

 

Honestly, I wanted it to die! (but there I am posting and keeping it alive)

 



Signature goes here!

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.

 I define success by potential for continued profit, as does any company that wants to survive. Profit in the short-term is meaningless if you have no way to ensure future profits. The Wii Four are making Nintendo obscene profit, and show promise of continued profit for a very long time. Sorry if they're not compatible with your tastes, but quite frankly, the industry panders to the tastes of the hardcore enough as it is.

The Wii will never get to 50% marketshare, and even if it does, it won't stay there for long.

any objective data or other evidence to support this other than "i really really really hope this doesn't happen?"

it took over 2x times the Userbase and 3 years priced at 19.99 to do so.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
