Forums - Sales - Why Do Wii Games That Flop Mean More?

It's because "teh Wii (lol wee) iz for kidz!!1 Only grannies and soccermomz play teh Wii, Nintendo iz D00MED!!1!"

Really, there are a lot of people who are frightened by its success and want it to fail.

@Munkeh

But CoD4 wasn't on the Wii, and the Wii version is inferior to the HD versions.

CoD3 sold better on Wii than PS3.


PS3 almots had 0 userbase when COD3 was ported on PS3


COD 3 was a launch game for both systems


I know but Wii's userbase was groving much faster than PS3's userbase...

So if the userbase is different we cant compare sales of games? Then let's never compare game sales of different systems ever again!



"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."

You're really diggin yourself into a hole here.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

so there's no point calling Madworld, NMH flops since those games would sell even worse on ps360.

No, its because wii fan(boys) are always supporting their arguments with sales ''This game is better because it sold better''or ''This system is better because it sold better'' and they also like to talk how PS360 are selling horrible compared to wii and coz of that HD fan(boys) are giving them the taste of their own medicine when the game on wii flops

So if the userbase is different we cant compare sales of games? Then let's never compare game sales of different systems ever again!

we can, but not when one system sold 1.5 million and other 5 million.

400,000 PS3 owners to 900,000 Wii owners? That is such a huge difference (sarcasm)

I don't see your point, both systems had the ability to sell a million copies. The only difference is wii did and the PS3 didn't (when it came to COD 3).
