Forums - Nintendo - Face it! Nintendo doesn’t sell the Wii, they sell Wii Sports

Ah the daily Wii rant. I can't imagine a day without one of them!

yeah, it will also sell Wii Sports Resort, this article makes the Wii so huge without even noticing

it's also selling Mario Kart, Wii Fit, Zelda, just look at the top 5 of Others this week, where are the AAA Ps3/Xbox360 games!?



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

I agree the Wii wouldn't have sold as well as it has w/o Wii Sports. Many people saw his game and decided to opt for a Wii early on because it showed great use of motion controls. If it wasn't Wii Sports then it would've been something else anyway

I also think that the Wii still would have been Market leader regardless though. Might have been a closer race in the end but I give Nintendo a pat on the back. Sony should have done the same with a game pre-downloaded showcasing Six-axis and MS with 3 months free Xbox Live membership. Looks like Nintendo did the smart thing though.

Yes, even I'm sick of it and I don't own one anymore.

Face it! Nintendo has this generation in the bag.

So people just bought the PS2 for GTA III, MGS4, or Final Fantasy X obviously didn't look at the superior specs of the Xbox or Gamecube.

Idiots!



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

so i guess we don't buy chose console by game libraries but specification, huh? still makes me wonder why ps2 didn't have same weekly rant when it was the weakest console on the market and have similar games library.

Yeah, that was a typo, but I guess you see my point. Also, the morons who bought the NES for its puny games, when PCs at the time had better specs and features.

Hey not fair. I was 0 when the NES was released and I came from a computer illiterate family. Nes and SNES/Genesis was all I had till 96 when we got our first PC lol.

I've said it many times and I'll say it again. Nintendo is buying and selling the same unit causing millions of transaction of Wii sales that we don't see in stores for years.
