I like that people use other people's opinions to state how good or bad games are, but have never played them themselves.

It's sort of like junior high, where "everybody" says something about a person they don't know, and after they all say it enough it becomes "fact."

I've played many of the games that have scored "poorly" on the Wii, and I can at least say having experienced many of them that the "scores" mean nothing to me anymore.

But hey, if people need others to tell them what to like, or how to dress, then by all means they should go with what they know. Or don't know.

Back in GBA time,playing only on GBA would make you fool.But nowdays you can easily say that I play only on DS or PSP.

But I use my PSP most of times for music player.

The average consumer is buying less than 10 games total over the lifetime of their console.  (a few games a year)  The average consumer has never heard of MGS, and has no interest in Resistance.  Having a huge library of great hardcore games is meaningless to most average consumers, who are buying 2-3 games per year.

But people is not only considering quality when they purchase something, they consider lots of things (price, opinions, interests,...) and can be very vurnerable to brilliant marketing campaings (not only advertising). There are lots of exemples outside videogames where people don't buy the most quality product.

The wii does have a good amount of games already released though. People want to get games like super mario galaxy, wii fit, mario kart wii, smash bros brawl, rock band, GH3 and wii fit still. On top of this wii comes with wii sports, and its at a cheaper price. Thats a much more appealing buy for parents. Especially when thats what there kids want anyway.

THIS!

I think its kinda how britney spears trumps radiohead in sales.

"I like that people use other people's opinions to state how good or bad games are, but have never played them themselves."

I try to make it clear I'm just going by those, nothing more. As in I'm noting the opinions of others, not how good a game actually is.

Don't you people get it? Ps2 didn't sell as much as it did 'cause of the awsome library of games! It sold 'cause it was the "it console" of that gen, like the Wii is the "it console" of this gen. With the trifecta of Wii Sports, Play and Fit out there, Nintendo could stop making games right now till the end of the gen, which they won't, and they'd still beat every sales record known to man. Which games are in the top 5 ww sellers right now? That's right, the Triforce of Nintendo Power. You guys don't get that those were the games that made this generation...

Edit: Ok, so I checked out the top 5 and Wii Fit wasn't there, but my point is still valid...

Edit2: I actualy was not looking at the ww chart. Wii Fit IS on to 5. I was wrong to doubt myself...

oh boy..... once again.

Wii sells more b/c that's what people like. They enjoy playing and dont care about HD graphics or anything like that.

People like the wii = wii > Ps3.
