What can you say when the first sells a million, and the second doesn't hit half that? It isn't my fault...

How many million seller do the current consoles have combined


believe me its less than 100(even 50)...so ur making noooooo sense

I agree with this Nintendo can do no wrong idea from Nintendo fans. Apparently it could sell -100,000 copies and be a comercial succes. The reason why I dislike the Wii is not because of the console but because of the fans. The Wii is a good system, it just isn't the second coming of you know who lol.

As a Sony fan I can admit Killzone 2 was a flop in huge launch numbers. It really should have done around at least half of Halo 3's opening. Many of us hope to see it hold steady legs for months and months but still in the back of our heads we know it could have done better.

Now I challange a Nintedo fan to say the same for their system.

I won't hold my breath on this one. The notion that any Wii game can be made for next to nothing (unicorn farts are still worth more than $3.68 IMO) and are automatically profitable regardless of sales numbers, won't stop in the minds of the hardcore Nintendo fans.

But, there shouldn't be any collossal commercial flops on the Wii, simply because no developers have been putting huge budgets into their games other than Nintendo's own. Even the concerted and lengthy effort to develop a high end Wii game engine by High Voltage will undoubtedly be written off as another bargain budget example when it fails to sell a million copies in one month despite the protracted PR hype from HV and its following fanbase.

But then half of the allure of developing for the Wii has much to do with the lower overall associated costs. You don't spend high end budgets to develop games on the Wii unless you are doing something extremely wrong as a developer.

Oh and Lair and Haze didn't just lose their developers large sums of money; both games ruined their respective companies much like Spirits Within ruined Square.

He is being sarcastic :P

Still...

Wii has 48, X360 has 62, PS3 has 29.

That's more than 100 methinks.

Tales of Symponia: DotNW really wasn't a bomb at all. It sold over 200k in Japan alone and over 100k according to NPD in the US and it hasn't been released in Europe. Spin-offs are obviously a lot cheaper than the mothership titles and are therefore also lower quality. It's therefore not comparable to the first, especially since that one was published and promoted by Nintendo outside of Japan.

Klonoa isn't even released outside of Japan afaik so that's very premature calling that a bomb.

Mushroom Men, Monster Lab, Castlevania Judgement I agree with. Some others probably as well. However most of these games ARE very cheap and it shows. The problem is that Wii simply doesn't have some high profile 3rd party games to compare with because they simply don't get released on the system.

2,500 FLOPS isn't much though when you consider the PS3 has over 2 Terraflops supposedly.

That is a lot of FLOPS.

Thank you for taking the challenge seriously ^^

You do know a development team cost just as much for a Wii game as it does a PS360 game right?

They don't write stories for Wii games at half price just because it is cheaper to create. The graphics/coding department is basically the only area that the Wii has to be really cheap to develope for. I still imagine coding must still be somewhat difficult as well as creating controls to combine with everything though. The original concept art wont be any cheaper to make either nor the core models of characters and objects. Now what doesn't cost money is developing weak storyline/graphic/control/length gameplay mechanics. A concept is actually the easiest thing to come up with cause you usually just come up with it off the top of your head and run with it.
