I SAID THE WII SELLS BECAUSE OF ITS NAME
MORE THAN IT DOES FOR ITS GAMES
People buy the wii for its uniqueness, they buy it for WII FIT, they buy it for DIFFERENT GAMES like WII PLAY, WII MUSIC, WII MARIO KART, than the same $hit they have been playing on THE PLAYSTATION AND PLAYSTATION 2 FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS.
dammit, thats what ive been trying to say for the past fucking hour

The Wii and PS3 install base is very different... a 5.33 attach rate on a 40 million install base console is A LOT more than 5.5 on a less than 20 million install base console. Just look at the total software sales for the last week in USA: Wii: 10,365,100 PS3: 4,093,304 Thats more than double... The Wii sells A LOT LOT more software than the PS3. So people is buying the system to buy games. A lot more games than PS3 owners. |
Well I am most certainly not a Sony fanboy, but the userbase is far more than double, too. And well, checking last week software in NA I see different numbers... http://vgchartz.com/aweekly.php
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Frustration for what, its not like wii sales or ps3 sales or w.e affect me in any way.
Im just saying it doesnt make any sense, and then people jumped at me and decided to start a huge argument, and keep quoting "sales, preference" everytime I say that the wii didnt have a stellar game line up this year compared to the PS360(based on metacritic), and yet it sold well above the 360 and ps3 combined which again makes no sense.

If I were to tell you I still play Mario Kart Wii, Smash bros brawl, Super mario galaxy, wii sports, and even wii play pretty regularly, would you reply "but those games aren't even recent... still doesn't explain why the wii is selling so well?"
Well lets see.. I still play Mario Kart Wii, Smash bros brawl, Super mario galaxy, wii sports, and even wii play pretty regularly

Agreed! 
Tease.
PS3 games hardly make it to a million and sometimes not even a million makes them profit
On the other hand the wii has more milllion sellers than the PS3, and Mario Kart, Wii Fit,Wii Play, etc are totally hardware sellers, and most of the wii games don't even need to sell a milllion to turn profit!
I bought my Wii because it's the best gaming system ever created and has the best games and the best controller.
@tabsina
I never said it didnt have a good lineup of games, I said compared to the amount of AAA ip released this year on the ps3 and xbox 360, its not so stellar.
I like the numbers but I hate that it brings the worse out of all. Really very sad that people have to fight over every little detail that does not really matter at all. But then again it's the internet but I guess I put a to much of a high bar for how people act when they don't have to face what they said unlike in real life...just sad...
Former something....
People buy Wii because of Wii sports/Wii play/Wii fit
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)
