Forums - Nintendo - Pubs may be flocking to Wii, but is that enough?

"Last week I suggested the Wii was headed for bumpier roads, not because the system lacks games, but because it lacks as many first tier titles as either the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. By "first tier," I mean stuff that's on everyone's radar before it comes out, games that make news beyond the enthusiast press, titles or franchises that sells around a million copies pretty much out the door, e.g. Halo, BioShock, Guitar Hero, Gears of War, etc. You may be really, really into Rayman Raving Rabbids or MySims or Carnival Games or Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party, and that's cool, but those games are small change on the sales charts."

I personally disagree with the authors logic. I think the Wii is following the same path as the PS1/2 and by end of next year will have pretty much all the exclusives by 3rd parties. While 360 and ps3 share everything else, and Wii getting ports of those as well.

Well one of the Top teir games he uses as an example is coming to the Wii. And one of the small change games he mentions is the sequel to a new IP that was a million seller (and don't tell me it was a Rayman game!). However, that's just a poor choice of game examples on his part.

I agree that the major releases right now are skewed to the PS3 and 360. But a large part of that is because they are the same games we were talking about last year and sometimes even the year before. We're starting to see a lot more bigger games coming to the Wii. It's starting in Japan, but it'll come stateside. It seems like there's a big chance the new Timespliters game might be Wiibound.

And this isn't to say "the big games are all going to the Wii!" Because all systems will have a lot of big games on them. I just don't think it's right to say that the Wii isn't and won't get big games.


EDIT: See how I just said it's starting in Japan? Damn I'm good.


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.

We will still have to see, the PS3 and Wii have about the same amount of crap on them.

Monster Hunter 3 for Wii!



The Wii is not looking to be much like the PS1 or PS1 at all, although it may go down the same path.
