Forums - Nintendo - EA Montreal shifting focus away from Wii games

Egghead on 25 November 2009

Oh really, because my kid nephew thinks Godfather movies are lame, of course he knows how to appreciate it.

Like i said, its only the rabid Nintendo fanboys who fall back on this last-ditch argument, other people just accept bad games and get on with it.

Why is everyone forgetting a small game called Monster Hunter 3? It has outsold games like MGS4 and RE5 in Japan.

And I really think Wii Fit made tons more money than the "biggest entertainment launch ever"

Well then, what kind of games do you like? I had a lot of genres covered there, but I'm not much of a racing or RPG- so if you are so tell me what your poison is and I bet I could come up with a few.



Also want to mention that just because many casual games don't appeal to us doesn't make them all suck. Sure the one's with broken controls blow no matter what, but liking these games is a matter of taste and expectation. If you want a game where you can mess around with a virtual horse I'm sure My Horsiez or whatever might be a perfect fit. Not everybody wants to play Metroid, COD or Halo. With that said I avoid mini-games like the plague with only a few exceptions (Rabbids, Nintendo stuff mostly).


The games I most recently bought are the MP trilogy, Wii Sports resort, NSMB Wii, Rabbids go home (the one game on your list), enjoyed all of them, but I had no interest in the other games on your list

You know I specifically excluded 1st party games on that list since that was the whole point right? My whole point, which I restated was that there are good 3rd party games for Wii. Which has nothing to do with the many good games Nintendo releases. I was mistaken when I though I was confused. The games you mention are certainly some of the best this year. Rabbids is quite addicting, pulling me of L4D2 right now is pretty hard

See I don't think there are that many, I only own three third party games at the moment, of course those are opinions, which is why I use sales, since opinions differ from person to person, but sales are a hard objective figure



 

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)

Because MH3 shits all over their argument, duh.

One game to rule them all.

Thats why the PS3 sold 700k copies of MGS4 on a 2.5-3 million userbase. Good job.
