1. If any of the above applies to you dont post and just leave he thread please.
2. The Wii's sales in Japan have been in a downwards spiral now for about a year. The thing i have noticed though is that peopole who buy Wii's are people who eva want Wii Fit, Family friendly games or are Nintendo Diehards. The problem this has made is that the few core games the Wii gets sells to a few ninty diehards and thats about hence the reson of lack of 3rd party suppoert.
3. also as the sales off Wii fit have died off so has the Wii along side it (in JAPAN) and i think that this is a trend that will carry over to the rest of the world. People dont buy Wii's for traditional games as they sales data has shown. They buy the Wii for Wii fit.

1. I'm not going to get out of your thread just cause you make a loud noise.
2. The lack of third party support is because developers gave Wii no chance at the start of the gen. They put all their eggs in the PS3 basket. When they realised this was a daft idea they moved all their eggs to the PS360 basket since they can treat the two as one console. Hence there have been very very few core games on Wii. Most of those that have come out have done well on Wii (e.g Red Steel, No More Heroes, House of the Dead, Resident Evil, CODWAW, etc). There have been tons of games that have sold way more on PS360 (e.g. Fallout 3, COD4, CODWAW, RE5, etc) but what do you expect? Developers refused to release such games on Wii so many people but a PS3 or 360 for those games either in addition to Wii or instead of Wii. Also how many Wii games have had such huge budgets and advertising? If there were tons of core games on Wii there would be tons more Wii owners interested in those games. After all Wii owners can't buy what doesn't exist. Also bear in mind that there have been games on PS360 that have brought development houses down so even though some big developers have seen huge success on PS360 there have been just as many disastrous consequences of putting all eggs in the PS360 basket. Also developers lack talent and Wii forces them to be talented rather than releasing the same game over and over with just pretty graphics which relies more on the technology than the developers' abilities.
3. I guess there were no Wiis being sold before Wii came out.
Anyway whether the Wii bubble bursts or explodes I am sure that till the end of this gen it will continue to outsell PS3 and 360 and will infact from today hence forth sell more than PS360 combined will sell. So if the Wii bubble is bursting then the PS3 and 360 bubble must be smashed, crushed, stepped on, shot and sliced to pieces.
