Nintendo was always more profitable than Sega. In those two years you named, Nintendo made more than double what Sega did. |
My bad, I remember reading sega had 65% marketshare in 1993 and 45% in 1994, I assumed it meant bigger profits.

PS3 will never catch up to Wii, Wii is dominant not the 360 The other two console makers are copying nintendo with motion controls,and the massive price drop of the HD twins are entriely due to Wii's dominance |
This may be true...alright I give up.
Another question for all of you posting here against me -
You guys really think what Wii is offering is better than what you get with 360/ps3? Like as gamers, is wii the better console in your eyes?
I know its converting the blind and casuals...but I assume if someone is a member on a gaming site they are not casuals. As people that game on a daily basis, is wii the console to own this gen?
Please leave the "people have spoken" and "sales show" out of your explanation...
In your eyes the wii is the gaming system to own this gen?
"I know its converting the blind and casuals"
The fact that you even think of some of the converted players as blind shows that you aren't really looking at what the Wii is doing.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Is it so hard to see that people actually enjoy the wii console? The thing sells more than the PS3 and 360 combined so wouldn't that prove that twice as many people like it more than the PS3 and 360?
EDIT: I refuse to leave sales out of the discussion as that is what determines if a product product is successful or not.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

Gamecube was doomed. 5 bucks says that thing lost money. The GBA was selling 10s of millions of consoles per year and tonnes of software and nintendo was having 200 million profits per year. Nintendo obviously didn't go under becuase of it, but calling something "doomed" is saying its going to fail. And nintendo did have failures in the past.

Don't make bets you don't have the money to cover Disolitude. Nintendo doesn't sell their hardware at a loss. That is the biggest reason for them being so profitable. While Sony and MS have a loss leader strategy that requires tremendous software sales to make up for their losses on hardware sales. That post gave me an image of Jack Tretton. It reminded me of when he said he'd give $1200 for every PS3 you found on the store shelves.
@dissolute
Look at the top 50 games for US on the Wii, feck that look at the share of software sales Nintendo has as a first party on this site and relate it to the hardware. ^_^
I'm Unamerica and you can too.

Neither of you are answering my question.
Yes you like Nintendo I get it...you want nintendo to do well, I get that too.
But is the Wii offering the best gaming servce to regular gamers right now compared to the other 2 consoles.
Not asking if its selling...or if the masses are enjoying it. I have the Wii, I already have an answer to my question...
But I'd like to see if people that are posing on these sites really hope all 3 consoles have motion controls and casual freindly games.
It's obvious dissilitude thinks the facts are different than what the article stated. He hasn't actually done his homework, and all the replies he's made are based on his own ignorance.

Do you understand that "best" means different things to different people? Because I'm not answering that if you're going to make up parameters for who has the better games.

@ disolitude
You already have your answer and I have mine. I would say "yes" the wii is indeed satisfying my needs as a gamer, I have no need for another gaming console as all my needs are met. As a lifelong gamer I like all types of games, RPG, FPS, RTS...etc. Also included are games like Wii Sports, Wii Fit and Nintendogs. I don't see why people hate those games so much.
What I dislike however are the "birdmen" trying to be nintendo but failing. Malstrom himself has a great article about them BTW.
