I love how you guys only talk about the 360 and PS3 when the Wii is DOMINATING

Who cares how well it is doing? I and I'm sure many others on this board to not give a rats ass about the Wii or what kiddy trash game you're hyping for it. I mean nobody except hardcore sheep have ever really cared about Nintendo stuff so just take it to the Wii board. There is actually a battle between PS3 and 360 to discuss. The Wii is essintially in a different category quit acting like it "won".Lazy_Boy88

This is systemwars, and the Wii is dominating.

Tastes in games are subjective. Sales are not ;)

If your last statement is true, did you have a GC? I recall the GC's games winning multiple awards in '05 (or was it '04?).

Anyway, to say you don't care is a lie; I think it's stubborness. The Wii could afffect what you love to do--gaming. Are you still saying that if for some reason next gen consoles all have something "innovative," you honestly wouldn't care, knowing it was Nintendo that possibly caused this new shift?

Bah...admittedly, it sounded better in my mind what I wanted to get accross, but it got lost as I typed it out. Oh, well...

Yes, I owned a GC. I owned all three last generation.

But there comes a point when your willingness to pay overrides your interest in the lineup. As far as I'm concerned, the quality of the 1st party Wii games doesn't even come close to the GC's. And as for the big three coming in the next few months; Metroid is the only title I would play. Hardly enough to warrant a 250 dollar purchase.

Onto your next paragraph. I don't care what kind of innovation is inside the console, or outside. The Wii's motion sensing isn't a selling point. If the games suck, it doesn't matter how your control it. What I think of what the Wii could do to gaming is irrelevant as well. If there's quality software that I want to play, I would buy it. But that software has to be pretty freaking amazing. I'm just not seeing anything like that in the future.

If next generation we get a new lineup of gimmicks for the new consoles, it wouldn't matter to me as long as the games are good. I could care less if Nintendo did it or Sony or MS.

I may dislike Nintendo now, and I may dislike the Wii as a gaming platform, but those aren't the primary reasons for me not buying it. As I;'ve said, it's all about the games. The Wii lacks games, and it's future isn't very bright either.

Well said.

This is systemwars, and the Wii is dominating.

A major shift in the market is taking place in the Wii's favor and many of you are too stuborn to even acknowledge it.

Systemwars am becoming a very funny place.

jedigemini

Yeah its true, in regards to sales the Wii is dominating. However, im not a 60 year old grandmother playing wii fit because I want to reduce my cholesterol. I dunno, u could be a 60 year old grandmother, or you could be a 14 year old kid. So please, go right ahead and play your Wii fit, and mario after another mario game, and wario and any other childish games, but while ur playing that im gonna fine with real games like:

GTAIV, Halo3, Heaventley Sword, KZ2, GEoW and anything else I can play and not feel like a kid making a short stereotypically racist caricature of a Italian guy jump around in go carts in a universe taht is filled with cute childish mushroom men.

Now if you dont mind, im gonna go use a chainsaw gun to shred to a locust and have the blood splatter on the screen (man, that never gets boring)

thats because SERIOUS gamers dont like the wiimr_w25

Winner is you!

The Wii is a very sucessfull mini game machine that also plays game cube games and allows you to DL old games.

But the 360 and PS3 are the consoles that will take AI and lively detailed enviorments to a new level for console gamers.

The Wii will not do that. Sure waggle is nice. But the Wii's limited power is not just holing it back in terms of graphics.

360 and PS3 games will surpass Wii games in ways that waggle can not fix without the same amount of system power.

I like my Wii, but I know it's weaknesses and acknowledge them.

I don't talk about the Wii because there's nothing worth talking about other than sales for me.

Don't worry, I doubt we could forget the Wii with you here. Really, this is system wars and the Wii is talked about here. We're seeing an incredible amount of sales for the Wii, this is undeniable. However, it will take winning the war to achieve a shift.Ibacai

Totally agree, the war aint over until the fat lady sings. I mean yes I do give nintendo alot of credit for its very fast pace in sales, but I just cant see them continuing as years pass by. I think it is doing very well because of price, but we will find out 5 to 6 years from now who has won this war.

Nobody talks about the Wii because its only talking point is its sales figures, as you will be well aware of from the fifty billion "the Wii is DOMINATING in sales!" threads you make every day. Other than that, there's really nothing to talk about. At least with the PS3 and 360 we can talk about games, price, hardware reliability, online play etc etc.

I think if you compare game line-ups for all consoles, then it's very clear that the Wii is selling because casuals have bought in to whole Wii-Mote thing, and that the console is alot cheaper then it's competition, because I don't think the Wii's games library present or future, holds up to either the 360 or PS3...

Look at sales for the PS3 since it's price drop, now imagine if both the 360 and PS3 had a price drop to that of the Wii, I imagine they'd both sell out everywhere too...

Take nothing away from Nintendo their product is selling great, but I imagine sales will slow down once the other 2 have a proper price-cut, and they become more affordable to the masses...

mistykal5

I'll agree. While the future line up for the Wii is looking good, with a little price drop, the PS3 and 360 will outshine it. I like the Wii, but let's be honest here.

jedigemini

i would have love to see the wii instead of the game last gen. I mean there exactly alike when it comes to hardware.ff7isnumbaone

Everyone knows the Wii is winning in sales sheep, we all know that, but no one really even cares that much since Wii has terrible games compared with the PS3/360 lineup.Kekira

True, the hype also got me. I got the Wii too, and its collecting dust.
Played Zelda, SMP and RE4... thats it. yawn.

Nohting to tlak aobut on the Wii.

Another Metroid..woooo

Another Mario... woooo

Another rehash...wooo

[QUOTE="mr_w25"]thats because SERIOUS gamers dont like the wiidragonlife29

Ummm, NO.

So I guess everyone is suppose to like n-gage etc.

[QUOTE="dragonlife29"][QUOTE="mr_w25"]thats because SERIOUS gamers dont like the wiimr_w25

Lol, you think you speak for all serious gamers? You'd be surprised.

Because as of now, there isn't really that much interesting stuff coming. We're just waiting for the big titles... Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Zack and Wiki, Brawl, RE:UC, etc.

It's just not all that interesting right NOW (sheep talking here). Nintendo's E3 conference was disappointing for hardcroe crowd. Hopefully E4All, TGS, leipzig, will bring better news. Sadness is supposed to be Leipzig last time I heard. (Then again - it was suppose to be at E3 not all that long ago)

Homesrfan

HAHAHAHAHAHA if zack and wiki is your BIG title, lol you must not have much...

Hehe, those morons, sitting there, talking about games.

What's the point of games if you have SALESNUMBERS?

Mil-m5

Ok, that made me laugh.:lol:

I'm guessing you're one of the very few that missed it when IGN clearly stated that Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbados' Treasure is a must-buy game, a game that everyone must play. They never told anyone to do that since Eternal Darkness, and that game was epic. If you don't see why Zack & Wiki isn't a big title, I laugh at you.

Wii is dominating in sales, its games are hardly appealing to most gamespot users in System Wars, apparantly :).
