Well lately there has been alot of complaining about alot of crap to do with the wii etc... now all I ever see is some Wii Owners and other gamers bitch here and there about the HUGE amount of casual games, however there is no real solutions or proactive things that they do. Well I am sick of it, life is TOO SHORT TO BITCH!

This thread is dedicated not for bashing but rather stating the problem and a solution. I will start this off.

Problem 1:

Complaining about X game has poor sales (i.e MadWorld)

Questions:

1. Did you buy the game yourself or just complaing about it selling poor?

2. Did you make aware/recommend it to your friends who own a Wii (well before the release date)?

Proactive Solution:

Buy the game your complaining about, recommend it to your friends by showing them some game footage online etc.. or at least getting them to know the name. Not everyone in the world uses the internet to look at game reviews and trailers etc... Most people are compolsive buyers, they just go out and buy.

Problem 2:

Negative Mind Set. Wii only sells casual games well, and only has casual games.

Questions:

1. How does sales of a casual game really affect my enjoyment of a core game?

2. Surely there has to be games that appeal to me?

3. Can I help change the way my gamer friends see the Wii?

Proactive Solution:

Your preception of the Wii can change, there are plenty of core games on the Wii that can be enjoyed. If your a real gamer you would understand that each console has its good and bad points. Just because there is more of casual then core games, doesn't meaning there is nothing that will appeal to you and your friends.

Be postive! Don't take sale figures to heart. Don't take how many casual games there are to heart. This will only make you less likely to buy games in general (core games), meaning lower sale. You are smarter then that. You know how to use the internet, find the games that appeal to you and buy them, then recommend them to your friends. Don't waste your energy complaining about casual games when we know the GAMING MARKET has expanded. Just forget about the casuals, do your research as mentioned before you will find something that you will enjoy. Life is too short to complain about irrelivent things to you.

You should send me some money so I can buy all the games I want.

Well it didn't take long for the negative thinking to come into here.

You should of approached it more like this.

Problem:

Have no money to buy games

Questions:

1. How Can I get money?

2. What other way can I play the game?

Proactive Solution:

Save up money, help do some small things here and there for people to get some money.

Cheapest alternative, convince a friend who has money to buy it (which equals a sale), then borrow their copy or play it at their house.

Answer 1. It seems to me mostly owners of other consoles complaining about Wii game sales.

Answer 2. I have yet to see the problem with this, Wii Sports seems to be lambasted for being casual yet it is one of my favorite games. My most anticipated game for the future is Endless Ocean 2.

Mad World is a poor example. It hasn't been out long enough for us to observe the kind of sales pattern it's going to end up having.

Based on its first-week sales I would actually predict it will end up breaking a million.

that is exactly why I did this thread. It is seen as a failure because of week 1 sales haha. Well if those people who claimed they went to the store but didn't buy it because some guy said it sold like shit, actually did buy it and recommend it to the 10people they claim all own wiis, then things would be different.

I don't know if you read the whole mad world thread (which side tracked alot) but complaining about core games that sold 5million plus copies as a bad thing is a negative and stupid mind set.

I know the few intelligent people here that have logic and reason understand there is no need for this thread, however some people need to be made awear of there own internal issues and how to go about them a different way then just blaming Nintendo for going casual or for X game would sell better on HD consoles because people there appreciate it more.

Madworld would not have sold better on the HD consoles... it may have been more frontloaded, like 150-200k first week... but in the end it doesn't have the CASUAL appeal that your realistic looking shooters like Halo and Call of Duty have.

(by casual I in fact mean mass appeal)

well like I said I didn't make this to agrue about how well or better would madworld sell here or there.

It would be good for some people here to realise how negitively they think of the Wii, by stepping back and looking at the positives. All the consoles have flaws in them.

Like I said... most of them are either not Wii owners... or bought a Wii because they usually buy many consoles but wanted it to be like the other 2.... and thus went in hating it before they tried it.

You're not allowed to like the Wii... you keep buying Sonic games.
