That has very little to do with what I just said.

Probably not the best looking in the market, but way better than anything that nintendo has. What I am trying to say is that by saying that the conduit will bring players from xbox to play an unknown game is crazy. nobody here can asureme that the condouit is a good game. not until is realeased. further more, 360 has a ton of shooter why are they goint to jump over?

looking forward to the news. I know that they wont let me down. unless the released wii music two. ;)

So? If the Halo fans were such graphics whores, then you're still ignoring the point that they would play better looking games than Halo (Gears of War or Crysis, for example). I agree with you that The Conduit won't bring over tons of people who are big shooter fans on the HD consoles.

Well we have to be realistic, some of these games won't sell that great. Like deadly creatures will take a huge hit from tenchu, and HOTD releasing the same week. Both are established series.

Actually Deadly Creatures has a good chance if THQ can promote the game in the right way, The Tenchu series dind't have great sales in the past:

Boom blox and Z&W didn't flop

I do agree that the year is make or break, but i equally agree that it's going to be very hard for this year to fail. Wii doesn't need the big budget hits to move software, we've seen this effect. Software gains legs, sells well in the long run, and suddenly there are only 5 fewer platinum games on Wii than on 360 (though, as i've said before, 360 is going to get three more in the next month or so)

It is better to say that this is the turning point year, the year when development finally trends to the Wii in levels that the Wii deserves given it's marketshare. Capcom speaks of the year of multiplatform, but those are all games whose development was begun some time ago. What we see on Wii this year is the start of its full realization, because its more important to see that this is the year that development shifts towards the Wii, which will lock that pattern in more or less through the end of the generation.

It's not going to bring the big-budget games across. They've already found their home, but publishers are going to really focus on Wii, because that's where their real money is going to come from soon enough

We have Boom Blox at 740k and EA stated a while back it had passed 500k so I think we're pretty close and that in no way is a failure.

Good to see the good reviews for the wii games. This is just the beginning folks, the flood gates have been opened. Remember what Viper said, it takes some time for announcments/games to be ready and we are seeing the tip of the iceburg. With the Dead Space announcement expect some more shifting to be apparent this year.
So, this is not only the year where the sales of the wii and its software win (which has been every year) but the year the majority of the third parties jump on the money train (or continue to have their studios fold).
