@mortono: LOL, Wii selling 3 million weekly for 5 consecutive weeks? Are you out of your mind?

I think he meant 3 million in 5 weeks. So 600k per week.

its not surprising for someone who predicted that multiplatform games would have the wii as the lead version and then ported to the HD consoles to have this fanboyish expectations.

That's happened just a few times, and will happen several more times after the HD consoles get motion controls.

Rayman Raving Rabbids.  The XBox 360 port with dumbed down controls didn't do too well, so the franchise became Wii exclusive.

Same thing happened with Shaun White Snowboarding.  The HD versions had better more realistic HD graphics, and dumbed down controls, and didn't sell as well, and now the sequel is Wii exclusive.



Q4-red NSMB bundle with game and 2 wii motes at $250
Q1- S&P2, endless ocean 2, Black wii bundle with Monster Hunter Tri
Q2- span smasher, Galaxy 2
Q3- line attack heroes, other M, wii vitality
Q4- unannounced games shown at E3. not zelda or pikmin 3



 nintendo fanboy, but the good kind

I'm not out of my mind. I'm just being optimistic.

It's really not that big of a stretch considering they topped 1 million for 5 weeks last year.

Now it's cheaper, in ample supply, and there's three system-selling games going into the holidays, so I think they will at least double thier sales from last year.

If you reply to this, try to have something more than just insults. I already know that you don't think Wii Fit Plus and NSMBWii will sell hardware, and I still think you're wrong. Wit Fit Plus, even if you think of it as an expansion, is still part of a disruptive genre and can only further entice new gamers to play. New Super Mario Bros Wii will drive hardware sales just how the DS version drove DS sales, because it is an all-inclusive game that appeals to a wide swath of audiences.

... I guess I was wrong, then. 3 million a week sounds waaayyyy too high.

3 system selling games ?

Do you mean:

Wii Fit Plus which is update to product available on the market for months ?

WSR which already failed to significantly increase hardware sales

and

NSMB which is only game I'd consider system seller

Dude the Wii is not god. Last year at this time (if I remember correctly), it was setting records for most consoles sold (in a week, month, holiday or whatever it was). What makes you think it will sell 7 million more this year?

Don't get me wrong, Nintendo will definitely re-assert itself with the Black Wii+Price Cut+Killer Apps for the holiday. I just don't think it will sell 17 million Wii's during the season.



wii fit plus may lose sales due to ea active which already outdoes it

im a wii fit fan and a half

but not sure about plus as active does it for me.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.
