Looking back at these threads its just funny these posts are outdated in only in span of few months. The Wii was still selling, selling with holiday rates even its non holiday season, Wii fit a phenomenal hit and 20+ million sellers half of it are third parties. So whats the wii bubble burst we're talking about?



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

I never loved necro-posting until I came to this site. It's so much fun to see retrospective crow-eating, it never gets old.



For the sake of gaming we all hope the Wii's bubble will burst as soon as the PS3's price falls closer to the Wii in price. it will be game on. The tide could turn and the PS3 may even come back and win this generation.

One of the most ridiculous posts I've ever read in teh Internets, and believe me I've read lots of them.

It's like waiting Gamecube to come back and challenge the PS2. It might happen some day... Right?

Wait, didn't Nintendo basically save gaming with the Wii/DS just like they saved gaming with the NES? Many game companies have survived. on Nintendo platforms.

The Wii has hurt gaming in pretty much no way at all.  Not as much as the Xbox 360 (which I own) which set the lowest possible bar for hardware reliability and stability.  Or Sony, who set the bar the highest I've ever seen for broken promises from the PS3's hardware to the games that never come out (LBP and Home in 2007, am i rite guys?)

Why?  Does the Wii bother you?  Does it offend you?  Does the Wii wither away at your HD ego? 

Can you give me one valid explanation supported by logic and reason why bursting the Wii bubble is a benefit to the gaming industry?

Wii has the price advantage over the PS3. If PS3 and Wii were at same price of $250US PS3 would easily beat the Wii in console numbers. Wii at $250US compared to the PS3 $400-$500US. It is a huge advantage to the Wii.

So that benefit to the industry I was aksing for?  You plan to provide one or just ramble on about fantastical suppositions?
