Wii sales is going down cause of the games it have. I had a Wii and I only liked Mario Galaxy. I didn't see any other games I want so I sold my Wii. I'm not saying Wii have bad games but how many games on the Wii is M rated. Maybe 3-5 I guess I really don't know while the PS3 and 360 have hundreds. We all heard of this "sex sells" right. PS3 and 360 have alot sexual content games and bloody, killing, and other stuff that make people like it more. Wii just have to many friendly, nice kid stuff that is cute for a while but if you a hardcore gamer that want a game to get your blood bowling and heart beating then you will want to play hardcore games.

 

The following released M rated games say hi:

Resident Evil 4
MadWorld
Call of Duty: World at War
No More Heroes
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
House of the Dead: Overkill
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
CSI Hard Evidence
The Godfather: Blackhand Edition
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
Tenchu: Shadow Assassins
Manhunt 2
Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers
Mortal Kombat Armageddon
Obscure: The Aftermath
Target Terror
Broths in Arms: Double Time
Driver: Parallel Lines
Scarface: The World is Yours
Alone in the Dark
Far Cry: Vengeance
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Escape from Bug Island

A fair amount more than 3-5...  although I'll admit probably only about 10 are worth mentioning, and Mario Galaxy isn't on the list of mature rated games, so I am not sure what mature ratings have to do with anything?

Ok nice list there but none will make me want to buy the Wii again.  I also don't like the Wii controller which is another reason why I sold my Wii.  I know Mario isn't M rated I didn't say it was did I.

 

so why did you buy the wii in the first place if you didn't like the wii controller - i'vee never seen so many trolls since Labrynth

 

 

 Did you read that I had it for Mario Galaxy?  I been a Mario fan since the first Mario and that's why I brought it.  I knew how the controller was but I wanted to play Mario.  I didn't troll at all.  I just stated my opinion on why the Wii sales went down and everyone jumping on me.

I... I had no idea there actually existed people like this. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy sessions of Gears and MadWorld, but thinking games have to be bloody and pornographic to be good? What has society become...

 

Totally agree - he's obviously just a kid, guess it when you get old enough to experience sex and violence for yourself it begins to loose it's appeal. 

Thats probably why I play games like mysims and pretend i'm single

I'm no kid son.  I'm 25 with a girl friend.  You must be blind because if you look around you will see sex and violence sales.  I'm not saying it's a good thing that it do but it does.  Look at the violence and sex content in GTA games.  If the game never had that it would have never sold the way it did.  Wii games sell good but the Wii is a family console. 

If sex and violence is what drives sales, I must've missed a whole load of such content in MK Wii...

if you look closely you can see princess daisy noshing mario whist he drives and when you get a high enough onine rating you see mario donkey punch her in the gut

Wii Fit and Mario Kart sold far better than GTA, without blood and sex in them

Wii Fit may be selling because it appeals to the whole family, but not Mario Kart

many of my classmates (i'm 17) have Mario Kart, so i don't think Mario Kart is a game for family, it's just a great Wii game, and Mario Kart lasts longer than GTA for sure



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I didn't say games have to be bloody and pornographic to be good.  I stated what people like and I mean older people.  I'm 25 years old and I 'm not gonna be playing Wii sports, Mario, or Pokemon for ever and my older frineds don't play them either.  I like games that is more realistic like MLB the Show 09 or KZ2. 

Well that's where you are wrong.  When you get mature (you may be old but don't seem very mature) you will realise that stuff like Mario, Pikmin are much more enjoyeable experiences than random killings of GTA.  I am 31 and am now playing Little King's Story which for you would probably be a game for an 8 year old.  But the truth of the matter is that it is generaly little kids and not mature people that enjoy sex and violence in games.

we don't care if you or anyone else in this world sold his Wii, we are just saying to you that Wii has M-rated games, maybe not a lot, but "enough" let's say

if you like the controller or not it's your choice (for god's sake) it's just taste

maybe the reason really is the games, but i mean the games at this period not generally as you mean it

 

A guy can't give an opinion on why he think the Wii sales went down.  You have your opinion and I have mind.

I said I like Mario.  I enjoy it alot myself but that's all I like on the Wii.  I didn't say I don't like the Wii it's just the games that don't interest me as much.  You may like I am bashing the Wii.  That make you wrong and not mature.  I see you like Nintendo alot and that's cool but I have a tast for other games that Nintendo isn't giving right now.  If a new Mario game comes out then I will most likely buy a Wii again just for that game.

Yes you right but how many of those sales are from men between 20-35.  I'm guessing most of those sales are from families with kids or hardcore Mario fans.  I've played Mario Kart at a friends house so I say it's a family game.  Why isn't it?

it doesn't meant that all games are family games, unless men between 20-35 buy them, for god's sake
