Forums - Sales - The Wii's popularity is overrated, there I said it

What was the predecessor to Wii Music? I don't think you can say Wii Sports given how different the two are and the fact it's packaged with the console.



Around the Network

As Rol said, it's cherry picking data.

Re: Game sales - Wii sells the most software every month despite not dominating the top 20 (except in slow months). Why? Wii/DS games have legs. They may never sell well enough to make the top 20 but they do sell consistantly over time thanks to those same casual/female gamers - who obviously are buying games, just not front loading them.

Example: In Sept 07 all three of these titles came out, and excluding the phenomium which is Halo and the yearly Madden are the tops sellers for 360 and PS3 versus a Wii title that barely made the top 20.
