You forgot Trauma Center, MySims, Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party, Geometry Wars: Galaxies, Nights: Journey of Dreams, Smackdown vs. RAW 2008

Well for starters i already have mysims on the list and all the other games you mentioned won't sell over 500,000 so that's why they're not on the list.

Also why don't you use this list. Get rid of all games that will not come out in 2007 in any region and low-scoring games. People don't listen to sales they listen to reviews.

Lol review scores are not the wii's strong point, out of all the games released so far on all the consoles the wii has the worst reviews and it's not going to get any better by the end of the year, both the 360 and ps3 will have more games that score 80% or higher than the wii from september till december.



No they won't.

Here is 80% above average.

Sorry to burst your bubble but no, mysims, Dewy's Adventure, and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn already have an average worse than 80%. Battalion wars 1, Nights 1 and Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 scored less than 80% so it's doubtful their sequals will do better. DDR, table tennis, manhunt and smackdown on other systems barely managed to scrape 80% and wii version of multiformat games are generally worse so score worse so dont expect many of them to score 80%+ on the wii. And finally wiifit, zack and wiki, umbrella chronicles and mario and sonic at the olympic games are unproven and are far from guaranteed to score over 80%.

Both the 360 and ps3 have more 80%+ games coming out in the rest o 2007, only a fanboy would think otherwise. 



I learned if from another thread that it is pointless to argue with jimmay, just take whatever statement he makes, reverse it and you will get what he is really trying to say. Remember: no means yes and vice versa.

 

On-topic: Is wii bubble about to burst? Yes if you are talking about its launch bubble. Will wii stop selling well? No, at least not yet mainly because wii will have another bubble, holidays, great games and wii fit bubble.

How about you try and prove me wrong using facts instead of making stupid statements.



@Soriku

The wii has terrible 3rd party games, the only good ones are first party.

Dude, I am not going to argue with you, it is pointless. I am bad at predicting and i am not a psychic so I can neither tell how good games are going to be or how they are going to sell. How about we just wait for a couple of months and see what will happen?
