Forums - Nintendo - Wii Fad, Wii Bubble about to Burst, Developers concerned?

We've had tons of great discussion about the Wii in the last two weeks:

Is the Wii a fad? By Don Reisinger of CNET

Japanese developers concerned about Wii's future


Is the Wii bubble about to burst?

The articles that are linked in the linked threads paint a bad picture for the Wii! Why don't gamers support third parties on the Wii? Has anything changed much in the last two weeks? Did Nintendo's conference make a difference?

Around the Network

Are we going to have these types of threads once a week.

There is already 3 on the front page.

Most 3rd party games have done well on the Wii, except crappy games like NBA live 08 that didn't had even the Create a player mode, nor Dinasty mode.

Most of those articles are just BS, either they want Sony or MS to win, they just dislike Nintendo or they don't know what they are talking about.

I'm going to sit in the middle of the circle and watch the posters go round and round. And then I'll listen to that song by John Lennon.



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.

The Wii bubble IS about to burst. Well, it's not so much of a "bursting" as it is a "supernova exploding the entire universe by outselling everything that's ever existed." 'Cuz that's about to happen this Christmas.

 Threads are what happen when you're busy making other plans.
