I agree that the Wii version will probably outsell the PS3 version....don't agree with the second part though. Just because Star Wars has a big FANBASE doesn't mean it's "mainstream".....and you said "look at the Wii userbase"
I bet if you asked a random Wii owner on the street the intricacies of the Star Wars universe, they'd give you a blank stare and then say something about Darth Vader, R2D2, and Luke Skywalker, and that'd be it

It has been out for 3 weeks.
Try checking the charts to see how staggeringly familiar Madden 09 looks compared to Madden 08
Madden 08: http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Madden+NFL+08+-+Wii®2=All&game2=Madden+NFL+08+-+PS3®3=All&game3=&weeks=100&weekly=1
Madden 09: http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Madden+NFL+09+All-Play+-+Wii®2=All&game2=Madden+NFL+09++-+PS3®3=All&game3=&weeks=100&weekly=1
The two graphs look very familiar no?... Madden 08 Wii in the end didn't quite catch up to PS3, (although current sales indicate they will end quite close together)
Also note Madden 09 for PS3 also has PAL sales tracked unlike the other 3 games.

I mean, people were just saying that Madden Wii's legs would carry it above PS3, and it doesn't seem to be happening, PS3 is widening the (already huge) gap each week. Not saying it won't happen, but just saying (Wii version will have legs) is getting old. |
Yes I agree. It should be understood by now.

I actually completely agree with this. I've said this before in another thread:
The Wii is going to be the only console to win NOT because of it's software. But I guess they went the right direction this gen. Sony and M$ have said "you can have all the hardware you want, but it means nothing without software" or something of that nature. Ninty just took that train of thought and wrecked it....but it that good for gamers?

What? If not for its software, what do people buy the Wii for?

Like it or not, people are buying software for the Wii. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music, etc. are software. The Wii sells because of its games.
If there's one console that isn't selling due to its software (in terms of games, at least), it's the PSP.
