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

LETS FACE IT...Neither Sony nor Miscrosoft or in fact anybody else in the world would have been able to create Wii Sports (or Wii PLAY, Galaxy, FIT, KART etc). It doesnt matter what you think whether Nintendo is selling Wii Sports or the Wii as you say IT'S A F**KING DAMNED GENIUS OF CREATION. Sony or Microsoft would sell whole departments to have creativity like a little company like Nintendo with just 300 staff LOL!



"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

"Hey, Steve, just because you broke into Xerox's house before I did and took the TV doesn't mean I can't go in later and take the stereo." - Bill Gates (Microsoft Corporation)

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

This guy is right!!!

This must be why why I haven't bought a single game for my Wii. Wii Sports is the only good game for it. I was so easily fooled.

"That must make wii sports one heck of an amazing game considering how much more expensive it is than every other game on the market."

"Cause I love playing my processor!"

Two best lines of the thread.



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

I find it funny how the Wii is only selling because of Wii Sports, but when it comes to software sales, we shouldn't count Wii Sports because it is just a free giveaway that comes along with the Wii, and people wouldn't buy it otherwise.

The thing is that it isn't free, we actually pay for it but alot of people like to ignore it.

 

 

 I hope you did not explain that to me...

My favourite part:

 

If the consumer sat down and analysed the technical specifications of the console or took into account the quality of the broader software library, or other features such as the online experience, it would be hard to understand the decision to purchase a Wii over a competitor’s permutation.

So it is Wii Sports more than anything else that keeps the Wii bobbing at the top of the table.

What's wrong with this part ?

X360 offers much more powerfull hardware for the price

High quality titles are much rarer than on other consoles

and online is more or less joke

Quality doesn't equal enjoyment.... the only Halo game I have played is the original, I can see it is a quality game, but for me it is really dull.
I can see lots of money is spent on the latest blockbuster film, the effects and acting etc can all be quality, but it doesn't mean I will like it (good lord Terminator 3 is dire)

 



HANG ON!!!

lets not look at the negative of this article.

is this the proof we need that shows that Wii Sports is the BEST SELLING GAME EVER!!. Will this article shut all the bitching about bundled software?

After all Wii Sports ha sbeen proven to sell the console here haha.

Could this mean that the 360 is the leading console in the market as the sales don't count because the Wii is bundled with Wii Sports?
