I think the price of the games has a lot to do w/ the legs of it. PS360 games cost a lot .... so people are more tempted to buy Used which eats into the new sales.... but with Wii games its not that big o deal to buy new.
I prefer "Nintendoid".

I'm going to make sure the term "Nintendian" becomes known and used by all!

I'm a Nintendoid, for the record. Don't own a Wii...yet, might not. Will I lose my Nintendoid status if I don't but one? And how about "Nintendophile"?

Great OP majin. The word of mouth concept is still alive and well.
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.

It is ok if you don’t but one but if you don't buy one then it is not ok!
Majin why not make a thread and spread the word to let every Nintendo fan know what they really should be called. We are the ancient Nintendians ;) :P

@Viper out of all the games you listed the one which suprises me the most (even much more suprising than Boom Blox) is Boogie. There was so much talk of this game being a complete failure when it got released. I guess the problem was its sales were being compared to Guitar Hero.

| mike_intellivision said: What is interesting of the five examples on HD consoles listed Two were bundles (which skews things) Two were casual games -- more like those found on the Wii. One was a traditional game -- Uncharted. Mike from Morgantown |
Viva Pinata, Kung Fu Panda and Sega Superstar Tennis were all bundled.
Singstar Wasn't bundled
Uncharted was bundled too, but not nearly as much as the ones above.
yeah i have to agree with you
the majority of wii games that sell big numbers do so over a long period of time, of course there are some games that have big opening weeks but not many
that's why i am not upset about madworld sales, and this is why I won't be upset if The Conduit doesn't sell over a few hundred thousand its first week
I started making videos for youtube; check them out.
