skeezer on 22 December 2008

Wii can do anything, even sell more than 3 times what the PS3 sold in November [USA] in one week [USA] -_-

Not really fair though

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.

 

 

 Most of the games I own actually. I have been playing the same way for 25 years now and it was about time something new and refreshing came along. I wasn't going to upgrade this gen to play the same games with flashier graphics. If I wanted that I would buy a top end PC. Then I heard about this radical shift that Nintendo were doing and thought I'd give it a try. Best decision I ever made

This is extraordinarily ignorant, even coming from you leo-j. Wii had multiple games sell TEN MILLION copies this year: Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii being the standouts. Not to mention, Wii has nine different games with 5m or more lifetime - PS3 has one.

I'd say it's exactly because of the games that Wii is selling so well.



My Website

End of 2008 totals: Wii 42m, 360 24m, PS3 18.5m (made Jan. 4, 2008)

Oh, thanks.

Somehow I missed that.

Full of LULZ.

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?

Haha! I've never seen that before and I have to admit it made me laugh.

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

How could a bubble contain a bigger bubble?

 

 

 Understand that, and you will understand why the Wii will break 250 million in sales

 

 

Ommmmmmmmm



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

The Wii is a FAD, just like breathing and cellular mitosis, it'll stop eventually!

And the PS3 is also a FAD, just like cellular meiosis, it'll find an egg eventually and take off. 

 



Tease.

Beans to caviar... =)

Anyway, good numbers for all consoles during CRISIS. :)

I know most of the Sony fanboys in this thread are talking out of their ass, but that's no reason to compare the PS3 to beans.
