Dinomax did you say that a game thats bundled with an extra controller is market leader because of high sales?

The wii sold most by appealing to the mass market. This is true...

Kind of how a toyota corolla and honda civic sell more than BMW and Mercedes. Yet those 2 car manufacturers get much more press and praise by majority of car enthusiasts.

Also Wii has mostly been neglected by 3rd party publishers...so maybe its a bitter-sweet victory for nintendo...and wii gamers in general.

I mean...Resident Evil 5, GTA4, Final Fantasy 13...all missing the Wii. Those are some industry leaders right there...

Funny you say there industry leaders, yet there all outsold by Wiiplay. How can lower selling software be the leader again?

 

Oh wait, it isnt.

 

Thats a pretty lame argument...

To you Britney Spears must be the best singer in the world then...she sells a lot more than vocalists like...Placido Domingo.

In any case...you can make these threads all you want but the only argument wii has in its corner is sales. No wonder you decided to concentrate on that...

Industry leading visuals, game support, features...it surely doesn't have.

Whatever man, wii's not getting Resident Evil 5...I'd feel your pain if all I had was the wii.

 

I never mentioned Britiney Spears or the automobile industry.  Stop assuming things and read what I type.

Yes the 360 and PS3 have better visuals, third party support and features. 

Doesn't change the fact there not the industry leaders.  Nintendo is.  There selling more of there products to consumers. There fitting the definition of the word leader.  To lead.  There leading the video game market.

Don't need to assume also I don't have a 360 or PS3 either.  Because I do. 

 

Haha...you didn't mention automobile industry or britney spears...I did... to illustrate the point that sales mean nothing to who the industry leader is.

And no...the industry leader is not someone that sells the most alone. Its someone that has best features and is best overall as well as selling the product the best. Wii lacks in the first categry... So wii gets partial credit...B-

Its still a game for sale is it not?  Shows up on NPD and sales charts all the time.

The industry leader is the one who sells the most, because they have more customers than anyone else as well make more money than anyone else. 

Do you see the pattern here now?

Bitterness shows, specially in disolitude. I'm very worried about what bitterness can do this gen. Please people don't take it so seriously, relax.

I'v seen we trying to go the scapegoat argument. 

 

The topic is ""The console war is over""  and were discussing the Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. 

 

Please stay on topic.

My post is no more outrageous than yours.

You are the one to bring up industry leaders with a bundled game.

Your the one that brought games into the "war".

My example is bundled with every PC and is a game... whats the difference?

Yeah, but the difference is the Wii is also the best console, and didn't just upgrade graphics, it evolved gameplay. If it had the games the 360 has, I have no doubt that it would be the highest selling console of all time, with or without HD. It would also deserve it. Innovation should be rewarded, coasting should be punished. Buying stuff isn't innovation.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
