@Carl and Darth

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

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.

How can you say its worse if you havent played it?Biased.

But dont worry,you dont have to play it to already know if its better than a 2D game.

I suggest you play some other games before stating that NSMB Wii is the better game in the whole industry,it doesnt even meet the standards of a current generation game.

If you do play FF XIII and still say NSMB Wii is better,thats just biased again.

You might say its a matter of oppinions,but you are blind,you want to believe so much that its better,that you actually believe it yourself.

NSMB Wii may be good for the Lols,but you cant say it beats FF XIII untill you have played both games

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

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

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...

Not to the degree that Wii does, in fact Wii is doomed pieces are everywhere, in spite of the fact that its still the fastest selling console ever.  Not to mention, most companies don't get calls to replace their hardware when they are making a profit and leading in sales, nor does a first place console see such poor third party support, even publishers themselves admits its mostly shovelware.



 

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)

Amazing sales, DS will never stop selling....ever. I really think nothing will top it for a long time.
Wii is doing fantastic.
PS3 is doing so much better, great job sony!
MS needs to do something for the 360 though, but it's not like it did poorly.
PSP is disappointing..

I've played other FF's, and JRPG's, so I have a general idea how good FF13 will be, and truthfully, I have to say NSMB Wii is much more fun, now if that makes me biased, then so be it, but I'm certain many, many people will prefer to play NSMB Wii over FF13

Someone got their teeth knocked out.

This has to be one of the most pointless arguments I've seen in a long time.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

And I'm certain many,many people will prefer to play FF13 over NSMB Wii

But i guesss we will see if that is true when FF13 releases...outselling NSMB's first week in Japan,despite the PS3 having less than half of Wii's userbase,and dont tell me that it will have better legs,because that will certainly happen because the Wii has 2x userbase...The question is would that still be the case if the Wii would be in PS3's place in Japan?

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

So we can judge that by reviews then? Good, I'll take a permaban bet.

You get permabanned if FF13 has a higher Metascore than NSMBWii, I get permabanned if the reverse happens.


Good? Great.

No, because I said anything about reviews, reviews are just opinions, but unlike FF13, NSMB Wii will continue to sell for years, a game that sells that long shows that the public finds it appealing, if they didn't word of mouth would kill it.

Also I never take bets, sorry

Isn't a prediction a sort of bet with yourself ?



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Let's just leave it like that,Avinash.
