It doesnt matter what makes no sense to me is the following:

BOTH THE XBOX 360 AND PLAYSTATION 3 HAD a significantly better games lineup than the wii this year, yet it doesnt matter in any single way.

GAMES do not sell consoles anymore

but the name wii does

 

You kind of miss it.

 

Games do no longer really sell (most of) the Wiis.

 

What the early games did, was make the Wii popular. Those games are the most important games in this entire generation.

 

The Wii is selling on its popularity, which it earned by Wii Sports/the other launch games/the remote. All Nintendo has to do is keep the popularity, and that doesn't take the same amount of games as turning popularity around takes.

 

Also, I'm not sure most Wii owners would agree the Ps3 has  a better line-up.

As much as I love Wii, I would love to know which games Wii owners think are on par with PS3 games.

 

I'm generally talking about the increidbly casual crowd. I mean, people who don't buy Batallion Wars 2, because it seems to much like a war sim...

People who in general are in for a 15-25 minute round of fun (which means no major story), and dislike shooting. There's quite a lot of those people. Keep in mind that these people only buy a 3-4 games a year.

 

Personally, I feel they're pretty equal. The Wii's line-up is completely different than the Ps3. I enjoy both kinds of titles, but find them so vastly different that comparing them would be meaningless, and come down to personal preference only.

The Wii bubble will burst and its sales will drop drastically, in 6-10 years, several years after it's passed 200 million sales.

 

the bubble will burst with in 2009, and you can quote me on that :D

 The Bubble will burst only to find a second bigger bubble within the first

How could a bubble contain a bigger bubble?

leo, all you had to say, in response to Fernando´s question, was "because some people prefer Sony´s 1st and 2nd party offerings to the ones from MS".

I would, but it would get you more attention.

2009 is the year the Wii will hit 50% marketshare, by the way.

Nintendo is destroying the industry!

When PS60 get price cut, Wii is through.

 
Wii Fit!!????

Nintendo is abandoning the hardcore!

When this game comes out, THEN the PS360 will take off!

Nintendo not serious about online.

Wii is just a party machine.

Wii sells because it is cheap.

 
Pachter says…

Nintendo milks profit due to inferior hardware!

Gamecube started well at first too…

 
Wii is a fad!

 
FREE

 
LOL minigames!!1!

PS3 is on a ten year plan.

Wii is two Gamecube systems put together by duct tape!

 
Argh!!! Non-games!!!1!!!

 
Wii-mote is a gimmick.

 
Stupid casual gamers!

Only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo systems.

When HD adoption rate goes up, Wii is finished.

Who cares about Wii sales? All the real games are on PS60!


Where are the third parties? LOL!


VC is overpriced rom dump!

What happens when people get bored of Wii Sports?
