Once upon a time ago, there was a goat. It was a big ugly boy goat who had a stretched ***. The big ugly boy goat's *** was so stretched out because, it's master was into bestiality. EDIT: How's that for a grammar lesson.

Is that the true meaning of goatse?

DIAR, I don't know if you always run your posts through spell- and grammar-checkers but I think there's going to be quite a few people out there that will go through your posts with a fine-tooth comb from now on. Sometimes spell checkers won't detect problems (e.g. "Let's meat!") Here's to VGChart readers and their acute sense of vision!

yeah, but developers shouldn't be making the same games for the wii or ps3/360 anyway. the wii seems prime to succeed no matter what, with the ps3 and xbox360 deciding the other half of the market. it would be interesting if all 3 were successful, though. seems to me that the ps3 has an edge but if it doesn't start to show it in march that would be concerning for sony.

My point is. there are almost 20 3rd party games out in japan for the Wii. There are like 15 TOTAL PS3 games in japan... if that. I feel the 3rd party games for the PS3 suck. There are 1 or 2 worth buying on the Wii. Why are there only 40,000 more 3rd party games sold on the Wii... wich has over DOUBLE the consoles sold... better games... why? Can anyone give any answers related to this? Opinions? 1,690,000 Wii 700,000 PS3 The Wii has MUCH better 3rd party games at the moment than the PS3. I give that even in America. Only game worth buying for the PS3 right now in america is Resistance. and in japan, Resistance and Motorstorm. Both are Sony. (so not counted) Why have the Wii sold over 2million Nintendo brand games. and just over 500,000 3rd party? The PS3's 3rd party games suck. Why are they just below 500,000... with that few number of PS3 sales? Why are the 3rd party games just... failing.

I think I can answer this, assuming you're serious about an answer. The first party entries for the Wii, in my experience, generally use the new controls better. Wii Play for example may not be the most in-depth game out there, but it's an excellent introduction to the controller - particularly for first-time gamers, but also prior gamers getting into the console. As a bonus, the Tank game reminds me a lot of Combat on the Atari 2600. The shooting game makes no bones about being similar to duck hunt either, at least until the tin cans and UFOs come in. That's a good thing for me, and to be honest I've never had an issue with pointer accuracy. My experience through rentals is that the controls on some third party games are spotty, quality-wise. Most likely this is due to their development staff being given information on the controllers later in the game than Nintendo's, who would have more advance knowledge. Rampage for the Wii is a case study in this. Third party developers may also have been hesitant to put too many resources into the Wii until they were sure it would sell well. No doubt those fears have been at least partially assuaged. There are of course some third party games that do use it well. Rayman: Raving Rabbids is an excellent example, as is Trauma Center: Second Opinion. I own the former, and may end up buying the latter title based on a rental. I've heard that Madden controls nicely as well, although I haven't played a licensed sports title in over 10 years - they bore me quite frankly. Ditto on Elebits, although that's another game I haven't tried. I have no doubt that these titles will do well over their lifetime, however they're going to be overshadowed initially by popular Nintendo franchises such as Zelda and Wario Ware. The Nintendo titles are a known quantity for gamers, who know more or less what to expect. Give people a few months, once they've played through the initial games enough, they'll start looking into other titles - including third party. There was a reasonable amount of quality software available for the launch directly from Nintendo, not the least of which was Wii Sports. That's simply good business sense on Nintendo's part. I also suspect third parties will start releasing games that take further advantage of what the Wii has to offer, in terms of both graphics and controls that translate closer to what you are doing in the game. Build better games, and people will buy them. I can't comment on the PS3's third party situation directly, as I don't know anyone personally who has one at this point. How do you feel about the initial first party titles? Were there enough of them, and were they significantly better than the third party games? What's your analysis on why people are buying games that you didn't think were very good?

Hello, this thread is about ENERGY EFFICIENCY. Kwaad, stop fanboying please. And DIAR just leave. You don't even care for what we care for, good gaming. You're just a Troll.

You're correct, perhaps another thread is in order. I think in this case that Kwaad posted a good question, regardless of the context in the thread. The efficiency issue is of course a measurement that can be taken with a meter, there's no real way to dispute it.

it's not a failure. 3rd party know they can't compete with nintendo at launch period with zelda, wii sports, wii play + wiimote and wario, especially in japan. these are simply too many must-have titles for a lot of wii buyers. that's why ea made march its european and american «launch date» with ssx, tiger, godfather and moh. and that's why sonic appears only in march in japan. normal people buy one game, not a bunch of them. wii has a ratio of 2.1 games per console in japan. ps3 has 1.04 even with resistance and motorstorm out. how many games will nintendo launch in the next two months? super paper mario? time for 3rd party.
