Forums - Nintendo - Have Nintendo officially won this generation?

if you consider an enormous mass of people influenced by marketing and kiddy games, that continue to buy only the same 3/4 games as a winner.. yes they win.

but i think that the real game industry in another thing.. thant's why serious games aren't comin out for wii (i mean, something that is not just nice to see and easy to play)

 

 

[with this I dont mean Wii is kiddish.. is just CASUAL.. and the software market is the prove.. without Wii Sports (bundled almost everywhere), Wii Fit, Wii Play and Mario Kart.. look what left :/]

@Infinity, how is the Wii in decline when they are selling more this year weekly than last year.

 

I think that the explosive growth phase of the Wii is over and should taper off to lower levels soon.

So you are saying the Wii growth will slow down.

That makes sense, it can't keep beaing it's previous year forever.... so yes... 2009 will certainly be bigger than 2008 though, 2010 is up in the air at the moment, if the Wii follows the PS2 it will go down, if it follows the DS it will stay level.

I get it, the real game industry is made up of companies who lose a lot of money to please gamers. Then there are these "serious" games which are by definition anything that isn't released on the Wii. I am eagerly awaiting the day of my graduation.

Don't count on it...they don't trust people with Kim Possible avatars.

Not even close, there is still a lot to do. sales wise Wii is the fastest selling console of the current three, however industry growth is a hefty priority.

There is still a lot to do. I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't want to be king of the worlds smallest island.

I can't believe there are people who still think PS3 has a chance at selling more than the Wii. Infinity, give me whatever drugs you are on because I'd like to inhabit fantasy land also.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

This year will be the real explosive growth phase of the Wii. Last year had almost NO major releases, and it whipped the competition all over the place.

 

This year the Wii has so many great games coming to it, there is no logical way to suggest that it's growth phase is over, or even near an end. And as has been pointed out, it's sales are still growing on a weekly basis. There has been no decline, where did you dream that?

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?

I find it pretty amazing that in about 3 sentences you managed to fill that much of the board.

Rol, you may have some hefty competition.

Listen to Infinity and RukiSama here...they speak the truth.

The Wii can only support Nintendo games here...just check their top-selling games.

And to top it all off, they only cater to the casual gamers, with their non-games. And they have to use their gimmicky Wii motes because their system truly is just two Gamecubes duct-taped together!

So their opinions are just as legitimate as the others are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm...this flu is really getting to me...did I get Wii Bingo?

Yes this is true.  House Of the Dead: Overkill has just been released and is sure to sell a million.  It is all primary colors and minigames.

If you also consider that the average Wii game only needs to sell 1/4 of what a PS/360 game needs to in order to be profitable, then selling 3/4's of the PS/360's games is EXTRA WIN.
