@Carl and Darth

A lot of people have said its the best, just go look at some of the threads here on VGC

Funny enough, I don't remember you saying that when it was Zelda or SMG that were getting the awards.

That was before I realized just how much the industry was opposed to Nintendo's path

Is this a joke?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

^ROFL not one reply of substance from any of you lol, guess that just proves my point

Oh? And I suppose "Wii HD, enough said" is a reply just FULL of substance?

You're out of your mind.

Oh it completely is, because a Wii HD isn't needed in any way, so why call for it, why the constant drone of Wii HD in 2010 or 2011 when it makes no sense from Nintendo's standpoint to release one?

LOL, you keep calling it crazy, but that just proves you have no response

False - Ninty want the big hit games on Wii - MW2, AC2 etc. To do that, they need HD.

They probably dont get enough from 1 Mario game every year

Because you spouted the usual "Everyone hates Wii!" bullshit.

Which is bullshit.

Do you really want Wii fans to be portrayed as the emo's of the industry?

I didn't spout anything false, we can see it clearly, for example, here's a thread where Kenology shows articles where game "journalists" launch hit pieces on the Wii

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=94092&page=1&str=1599951374#

 

Lets also not forget about the calls for Wii HD, when its not needed in any shape or form, or lets not forget about the recent comments by game publishers about their sales on the Wii

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Guys, why are you arguing with Avinash, don't you realize that it never leads anywhere?



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

No they don't, you can make those games on the Wii, just remake the game on an engine that can run on the Wii, thing is, most companies don't actually do that, they instead create a stripped down port or on rails shooter which then fails, then they claim there is no Wii market for those games

So you are trying to say that NSMB Wii is better than FF XIII?

Yes, completely, although how fair it is to compare a JRPG to a Mario platformer is a question.

First post!

I've read this forum for about a year now, and always wanted to post, but never registered.

Numbers great all around, with the exception of the 360 and the PSP. I would think MS would drop the price of the 360 by $50 to help boost sales, but frankly, I really don't think this will help until Q4 2010 when Natal, Halo Reach and Fable 3 are released, even then, these are established IPs and would do little to boost sales (Natal on the other hand is the wildcard). Sony has a huge lineup for H1 2010. New IPs, MAG and Heavy Rain, with veteran exclusives, God of War and Gran Turismo set to make their first appearance on the PS3. I suspect the latter two will sell north of 5 million and will push consoles, which would help close the global gap (I expect it to be 5 million by the end of this holiday season). I would expect Final Fantasy XIII to move some hardware for both consoles (more so on the PS3). One thing I think Sony has done great is putting out new IPs and reaching a larger audience than the 360. All you have to do it look at the top selling games between the two consoles and it becomes obvious that a good chuck of the PS3's top selling games are new IPs.



2011 Predictions

Wii: 17m (100 million total)

360: 13m (63 million total)

PS3: 15m (61 million total)

Please tell me where I had ever said Wii HD in my entire post history, let alone in this thread.

Also, what in the hell are you talking about? You've completely dodged the subject. You said our replys lacked substance, yet your reply was FOUR WORDS LONG and didn't make any sense AND it wasn't relevent.

You lose.

I can go find you articles where gaming journalists have launched hate pieces on both PS3 and 360 too, if you wanted. It doesn't matter. Everyone gets criticism...

Dear lord man... You don't know more than the people making these games. Stop acting like it. If the solution was that easy they'd already done it by now.
