Forums - Nintendo - Do you think that wii haters hate the console or Nintendo itself

IxisNaugus on 22 August 2009

Man, your post couldnt been much better if you had used the right games.



1. Wiifit

2. Wiisports

3. Wiiplay

4. Wiimusic

Those games put together outsold the games you spaek of, so please
Wait what? I'm confused. I was saying maybe those who don't like, own or plan to own Nintendo home consoles are tired of seeing certain Nintendo games at the top of aggregate sites like metacritic and gamerankings. That's all. It seems the Wii series has outsold the highly rated games i mentioned but my post had nothing to do with sales in the first place. What are you talking about?



How technical is your game?

And you don't think any of these have do with the economy instead of the evil HD consoles?  I could name 5 companies that have nothing to do with gaming that have been having rough times too, you want to blame those on Sony and MS as well?

And yet Nintendo continues to rake in the dough, in spite of the bad economy and currency fluctuations, what does that tell you?

First of All, wasnt  it just Nintendo fans going crazy last year scared that GTA was, for a second , on top of Zelda, which we don't care about as much as seeing Wiifit closing the gap on The PS3.

That they're selling a ton of consoles a profit, just because Nintendo is doing well doesn't mean they aren't being hit by the economy fluctuations as well, they just doing less amazing then they were.

It shows the weakness in the industry, Nintendo may not be doing as well, but they are still doing great, most comapnies would love to be in Nintendo's place right now, the games industry on the other hand is not doing as well, layoffs, closings, mergers, are all signs of failures.

because of the economy, are you trying to tell me that Nintendo foresaw this economic dip and based their strategy for years based on this premonition in order to "save the industry"?  BS, they sell consoles at a profit because that has always worked for them and helped them make it through tougher generations, not because they are the benevalent saviors of the industry.

I don't remember any of this, but then again i wasn't really paying attention last year so i can't confirm. I'm sure at least a few people are sick of the highly rated nintendo games though for various reasons. And if you're so afraid of Wii Fit closing in on the PS3 you can calm down because it wont pass it.
