It's a shame that crappy games like this sell that much (but people is buying it for the free controller).

Anyway, I don't see the good point of this. I mean, we gamers want to play games like Wii Play (crap), Wii Fit (let's go out and make some real exercice please), Mario Kart Wii (worse than the DS version which is great), Animal Crossing Wii (the same as GameCube and DS), Wii Sports (it's only fun to play at first, controls are inacurate and very simple)?

I'd quit playing games if the only options were these games. I loved when Nintendo made good games, but now with the Wii (except Mario Galaxy, Zelda and Metroid) it is insulting. Moreover, most people buy the Wii to try it and get bored veeeeeeeeeeery quickly.

Luckily we can choose PS3 or 360 and play some real games... As I said in another post... I hope the PS3 and 360 combined will outsell the Wii, at least in sofware sales, so we can continue having great games in the future.

Wow this is classic fanboyism "Wii has no Games"  argument is pretty old and i dont think anyone treats it seriously anymore. It's ridicilous how fanboys like you think that they have superior taste to everyone else involved in gaming because you're hardcore or something? 

For one you should be happy that this hobby becomes mainstream and no longer is associated with bunch of geeks in a basement.

And another classic fanboy argument "I used to be a Nintendo fan" right (why does so many PS3 fanboys say it?),  Ninty does not release as many games like in N64/GC era?, they do but you dislike them for games you dont even play, that appeal to different people.  Fanboys are sad just sad....

 

Not a fanboy. I have a PS3 and a DS (and had a SNES and N64 besides PC gaming) and I enjoy a lot both of them (one at home and the other at train).

And what it is sad is people being happy because a whole bunch of crappy games are being developed and sell millions of units. What's sad is companies making profits without any effort punt into games and people still buying them (then regreting it, of course). What's sad is selling games that look very similar to their DS counterparts. What's freak is playing Wii Sports or Wii Fit instead of going outside to play any sport or go to the gym.

And yes, the Wii catalogue is horrible if the VC is not considered.

I first though the Wii controllers had a lot of potential but I don't think its controls are acurate or make playing funnier, maybe in the next generation we'll see good motion controllers that actually reproduce your movements. I actually found that RE4 controls were excellent with the wii remote as an execption.

And all those games (or programs) selling millions is a bit worrying. Let's only hope that casuals get into gaming and demand more quality games. There are some good casual games, but most of them are crap because there was no effort put into them.

It might be sad for you and some people, but you shouldn't forget that the objective is PROFIT.

 

I know and understand it. It's all about profits for companies, but for gamers...I don't get why some people are happy because low quality games sell a lot more that high quality ones.

Anyway, I don't mind since companies still make a good variety of fun games with enough quality.

What you don't understand is that your definition of quality isn't the same as most peoples.

Wii Fit is very quality.

So is Wii Play considering it's 10 dollars.

In all fairness Wii play is considerably cheaper at POS

And probably more fun ;)



A lot of damage control from the usual HD fanboys. They just came in here to troll and spout crap about the Wii and its userbase/games/gimmicks.

So very pathetic and sad that the "Wii is a fad/Wii is ruining the world and the industry/ Wii's collect dust" are still around us after 2 years. Trolling at its best!

Trolling? Did you see the title of this thread? A little provocative...

And is it not true that this consoles is not being used in lots of homes? Lots of people I know that are not a lot into gaming bought it becasue they were atracted by Wii Sports, but now they're not using it. And the only reason why Wii Play sells is the free controller, no brainer. And yes, I played Wii games at friend's and family homes and the controls were horrible for most games. And Wii sports is fun? A boxing game where the movements you do are not represented by the boxer, a tennis game where the only thing you have to do is move the raquet (not the player). The control in other games like Dragon Ball is horrible. Others like R4 and Metroid are great though.

As I said, it had potential but its control it's not acurate enough to reproduce player's movements so... it results making the controls to simplistic or too complicated (making you do strange moves).

It's a fact that the Wii catalogue is full of minigames and programs. And have you seen the reviews for most Wii titles? But hey, if you have fun playing them go and do it. Companies are making a lot money with you guys.



Play my LittleBigPlanet level: Mystic Runner. Thanks!

I like the "Wii in America outsold PS3 worldwide" one better.

 I find this worse than the trolling. The "trolls" (generally) have a reason for why they claim as they do (in this thread, they definitely do). Their logic is oftenly flawed, and if you tell them why they are wrong, they won't do it again (normally, they won't accept they're wrong right away).

You on the other hand, just bash other people, and call them fanboys. That's far worse.

And yes, I am aware of the irony that I am essentially bashing you with this post.

 Anyting can happen but i think its very unlikely.



 

Its bundled with a controller.

GTA: San Andreas nearly outsold Gamecube without a bundle
