Forums - Nintendo - My Theory as to why the Wii is selling so well

Double post.



 

 

Around the Network

I am living proof that you are wrong.

Anyways, you should realize that if you make threads based on random bouts of thought, you'll get torn apart here.

Besides, the Gamecube wasn't a bad system by any means.

My theory for why the Wii is selling so well is that it has a lot of hype and a cheap price entry point. Most of the people I know bought a Wii for no specific reason and played other consoles (mostly the Xbox 360) for several months after buying it. We tried getting wasted while playing Mario Party 8, but it just didn't click.

Oh, and when I played the game sober it was much worse.

And is not a FACT that the GC was the worst Nintendo console. Perhaps in sales, yes, but saying it's the worst console is an OPINION.


 What is in your opinion the worst Nintendo console?


 The Virtual Boy!!!!!

 

I had one myself. And I think according to Avalanche's "Facts", having a crappy Virtual Boy would mean that I'd run out and get a Gamecube when it launched. But I didn't get a Gamecube. I eventually got an Xbox. And now I have a Wii.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

 Probably the Gamecube, if you don't count Virtual Boy as a console.

That is my opinion, not a FACT though.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

@ Konnichiwa,

I agree that the gamecube was the worst console when compared to Nintendo's other ones, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad system.

 I know,  I had still some fun with my GC but if I compare it with my Nes, Snes and N64 then it was the console where I had less fun with.

 Oh yes that one,  but I don't see him like a console , and also it is a console that never had a release in Europe (Fact).






 

Gamecube was awesome!  Look at my Gamecube/Wii collection
