Codemasters will release F1 2009 on Wii (and PSP) this year with PS3, 360 and PC following in early 2010. The later versions (including PSP) will probably do fine, just as previous versions did. Nothing groundbreaking, but simply satisfactory in sales terms.

My flop or not question however focusses on the Wii. Third party games have, in general, not been selling as good as the large userbase would suggest. So let's discuss, flop or not?

P.s: to Wii owners, would you buy it? I have a Wii, but I am going to wait for the PC or PS3 version.

To be honest I don't care... This is to be my first F1 games since F1WGP2 on the N64, so as long as the game exists.

That game has the 1998 season, so 11 years (and amazingly, 3 of the current drivers were there back in 1998 too)

Anyhow, it should do ok, I don't expect anything amazing, maybe 500k.

I`m definatly getting it if it has online with 22 players

^It doesn't.

Or at least there has been no mention of online for the Wii version.

I'm not too fussed in this particular case, but it is certainly going to be a decision maker for some people if online isn't added.

Even if it would have an online mode, I doubt you could play with 22 players...this year there are only 10 teams and hence just 20 drivers

Well but concerning the question whether I would by it or not: well, if it would be a proper simulation...then yes, I would definately buy it. But since the last real F1 simulation was "Grand Prix 4" for the PC back in 2002 and the consoles have never even got one at all, I doubt we'll get a realistic racing game here.

So why do you have a wii if your not going to take advantage of it's controls

i'll get it and i'll get it on the PS3 lol

flop, looks gut wrenching awful

I am taking advantage of the Logitech G25 steering wheel I have for PS3 and PC. I am also a graphics whore, especially when it comes to F1 which I love.

I have the Wii for other games. Just asking this question since this is a site that focusses on sales and I am interested in sales.

I will not get it. However I am not a very good indication. My favorite driving experience this gen was "Disaster: Day of Crisis".

Driving through Tsunamis, Floods and Volcanic Eruptions with motion control, that's what I call entertainment.
