Forums - Sales - Does Nintendo have something bigger than Wii Sports Resort for X-Mas 2009?

The said:
^yes, but at least you didn't call the Wii 2009 lineup better by a longshot...

 

Well, for me... the wii has the best line up so far, not just this year. So..... yeah, at the end it all comes down to opinions

lmao, I even said "IMO" and he starts acting like PS3/360 library > Wii library is a fact.

Keep in mind my favorite genre is RPGs and there's more RPGs this year for the Wii than the PS3/360.

Really?

 



With FFXIII now dated for Winter 2009 I'm not sure Nintendo want to release their biggest hit in the same time frame ( I guess Sept-November is ok, December-January probably isn't). In Japan that is...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

@Soriku.... So you favor RPGs...there are like 3 RPGs on the Wii, and they are not really the best reviewed... quite the small bunch they are. What have you been playing my friend?

I'm not saying JRPGs (which I presume is what you refer to as RPGs) are the most common this generation, but even so the X360 still has more and better RPGs than the Wii (ask around, not my opinion). And yes, there are 2 or maybe 3 interesting RPGs still to be confirmed for 2009 for the Wii : Arc Rise Fantasia, and a couple of Square-Enix works. Phantom Brave is coming up shortly. That's nice for 2009. I just wonder what RPGs you've been furiously playing on the Wii until now (along with furiously posting on this site) ? 2009 seems to be a good year for JRPGs on the Wii, nothing spectacular, but since past years was almost nothing it seems miles better. PS3 is getting White Knight Chronicles and Tales of Vesperia "complete", Cross Edge, and The Last Renmant, no too shabby I guess on the JRPG department.



^well, let's see how that happy bunch of future promises does.

Wishful thinking? I bought a 360 because I could play Final Fantasy on it. Before that I would have bought a PS3, so as far as I'm concerned the game is here asap.


It seems that you are more concerned about the possible influence that it could have in sales for the PS3 in Japan, than the game itself. Anyway, the game has been comfirmed for 2009. End of discussion.


Dude, I was responding to Montana who said the Wii lineup was horrible compared to the HD one. I didn't start the talk about FFXIII, that was you. If it's out in Japan in 2009 that's fine, but had not a lot to do with the discussion, as both Montana, me and 99% of the members here aren't from Japan nor does Japan play a very big role in the console sales department anymore.

In Japan it's a massive seller though, obviously. However I haven't heard Monster Hunter 3 from you anywhere. Are you worried about what it will do to Japanese Wii sales?

Climax is NOT a mediocre developer btw, but you ok. Your list contains late PS3 ports and Quantum Theory which has generic written all over it, so I don't really get where you're going telling me RE, DS and SH might turn out crappy.

Well, since they have only done crappy ports and that crappy Silent Hill game for the PSP I don't have much confidence in them. By the way, the only thing that I have seen from Quantum Theory is a trailer which actually looked cool unlike those western shooters, and hey, it's one, if not the biggest games in devolopement right now from Tecmo, but perhaps you prefer to play an onrails shooter made by a small team, made only for extra cash?


For extra cash? I guess they make the HD games because of artistic needs? And since when are railshooters no games? Please, try something better. I'm fine with you liking Quantum Theory, but you really try too hard to make Wii look bad.

And again, using metacritic doesn't prove anything. It's about your taste. My favorite game this gen is Fire Emblem which scored under 80%. If you like Mario you need a Wii, if you like Gears you need a 360, if you like MGS4 you need a PS3. Simple as that.


Yeah and I love Tales of the Abyss which has 79% or so, but there just aren't enough quality title's on the Wii, unless you consider those party games that are 3 month in devolopemt as quality. Most of the good third-party are for the HD consoles, Nintendo itself has become lazy and Animal Crossing, Wii Music, Wario Land and the Wii-makes as there big Q4 for 2008 was pretty much the proof of it. Even the GameCube didn't such have a bad year as 2008 for the Wii.


Your last paragraph however is a complete joke.

So who determines whether there are enough quality titles? You?

Nintendo has become lazy?!? So how can I have a great Mario, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Paper Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Bros and Battalion Wars on Wii in the first 2.5 years of the console?

There are enough good 3rd party games to be found as well.

Please note that I haven't said anything bad about HD here. Iabsolutely love my 360 as well, I simply hate the narrowmindedness of so many like you that Wii somehow has nothing to offer. It's proven false and simply sad at this moment.



^And that's why you also have a 360. For Wii players, the Wii offers "enough" as you just said. For the rest of us (including yourself) we need more.



Wii Sports Resort is enough to keep the casual crowd happy and thus sales high. A few colours and bundles, plus 1 or 2 core games (Pikmin 3 & Kirby Wii hopefully) will make up for any decline. No game is going to better Wii Sports Resort sales wise except maybe Wii Sports.

How do you know it's not the other way around?

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
