People want to have fun, that never changes, 2D mario is greater fun for more people than 3D mario, and people love games they can play in groups

1. People want to always have fun? so MH3 was boring was it.....is that why it didn't sell as well as the PSP ones?

2. 2D mario is greater fun than 3D mario......I disagree, but I can see people agree with that

3. People love games they can play in groups.......point noted.

However none of these things equated to any HUGE MOMENTUM build up, tell me where will this HUGE MOMENTUM come from?

Monster Hunter is not Mario, 2D mario has always been better, even on the consoles, highest selling mario is a console version

More fun for more people. as its more accessible than 3D

sure they do, if people want something, they'll buy it in large numbers

your going into "false hope" territory now

Know this, NSMB Wii is no Wii Fit or Wii Sorts that will be bringing in NEW people by the masses, this is what nintendo needs

Like it or not, the 2D Mario audience overlaps with the wii in great numbers.

You have no proof of that, I backed up my point with historical sales, but you have no evidence that NSMB won't bring in new owners, the DS version did it for the DS, so why not for the Wii?



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

As the home console & handheld markets are different, they buy consoles for different reasons.

You have no evidence it WILL bring in tons of new owners.

Except highest selling Marios were on home consoles Darth, Mario 1 and Mario world

both sold more than the DS version, and far more than the 3D versions, and unless the Wii franchise fans are the same as the 2D mario fans, there are tons of 2D mario fans who haven't gotten into Wii yet

Yes 15 YEARS ago

YOu have no proof that those fans still "care" about mario, 15 years is a long time, trends change.

If you expect NSMB Wii to pull wii out of its YOY down "trend" then you are setting yourself up for a disappointment.

I wonder what will be PS3's next year, will it be higher then this year? The same? Lower?

THE SAME I think

unless SONY motion changes things

I was thinking about the long-term effect of Gran Turismo 5, + Short term effects of GoW3, TLG, Agent, if it comes - FF Versus, and whatever is announced at E3.

GT5 will have the long term effect

GOW3 = short spike

FF Versus = zero effect

The Agent.....if it becomes the new "GTA" or something crazy like that it will be BIG for PS3, MASSIVE!

FF14 -- this can bring MMO fans to it

I basically agree with you, but don't expect big effects from FF Versus 13



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

PS3 will stay above 200k until 360 cuts their price to $99



To people claiming the Wii has peaked already..

I HIGHLY doubt the most successful console of all time has peaked in only its 2nd year when most consoles generally peak in their third.. Keep in mind the Wii doesn't quite work in the same patterns as most consoles because it appeals largely to the expanded audience, which are a huge wildcard.

Also keep in mind that the Wii has yet to release its 3 biggest bomb shells possibly in its lifetime; NSMB Wii, DQ X (in Japan), and a true ground up Zelda for Wii. And this doesn't even take into account the x factor of the Wii series, which Nintendo could churn out another hugely successful "Wii" game out of the blue.

Wii may have very well reached its peak I guess, I'm not saying that for sure that it hasn't necessarily, but the important thing to look for is LONGEVITY of sales, and in that regard I think Wii will outlast its competition, just as many of its games tend to have greater legs than their HD counterparts. If the Wii peaked already but maintains these sales or with a minimal drop over the next few year, than isn't when it "peaked" largely irrelevant? Sure it's sales are down from last year, but that is mainly because it sold so abnormally WELL last year, not necesarilly that it's performing badly this year.
