I agree but sales still count because the system that sells well gets more support from Developers so if the console is selling great we will start to get more games, and hopefully they will be good since Developers are finally starting to put time in development of Wii games instead of just porting crap over so in a few months we will see some Quality 3rd party games releasing they are already getting announced.

MikeE21286

 

Yeah, this is THE ONLY place that sales matters. I mean it's nice that Wii is gonna get some 3rd parties......but it WILL NEVER get the main third party franchises (MGS,FF,RE,DMC etc)

MGS? Snake is in SSBB and has a GC game. Didnt MSG start on NES? owned FF? What about CC? Really thats funny cause Nintendo just got Dragon Quest and BTW DQ > FF. FYI, Square Enix is bringing more games back to Nintendo. RE? Do you mean Resident Evil? Resident Evil 0,1 exclusive on Nintendo and Nintendo GC got 2,3,X,4, and Wii will get UC to fill in the story line. So its only missing RE5 one game....Sony missing 0, updated 1 and UC. owned DMC? Last Time I checked DMC wasnt that good(GS ratings anyone) owned.

 

Ok.....lemme take a minute to deny your ownage...............

Will Wii owners play......

**MGS4? Nope....who cares where it started cuz you won't be playin it on Wii

**FFXIII? Nope (and BTW Crystal Chronicles is utter trash if you didn't play the first one on GC)

----Yeah, the DS got Dragon Quest IX, not the Wii

**RE5? Nope

**Yet Again DMC4? No

We can keep going just to rub it in..........

GTA IV? Nope

Ninja Gaiden 2? Nope

OWNED

 

The Wii will actually have its own Dragon Quest game exclusive to the console, just so you know. Other than that, you're completely right. ^_^

 

Yeah, I know....it's called Dragon Quest Joker.....but again its just a spinoff of the main series to cash in off of

Considering Wii and PS3 sales in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if Squareenix announces some new exclusives for Wii at its party in a few months, there is no benefit for them to remain with the PS3

They sure can't talk about owning anybody with the games

 

MikeE21286

wii games > ps3 games at the moment anyway

 

hahaha OK we won't even bring up the guy who tried to make a comparison of top games and was embarassed outta the thread cuz there were 7 10-year old VC games. 

It's pretty sad when people are so into attacking a particular console that they don't even recognize the efforts of another person to join in those criticisms. Perhaps you should reread the post of this person you "embarassed out of the thread". Otherwise this thread seems like a group of children whining and attempting to add a new rule to a game to eliminate an aspect of it they don't like. Nintendo fans may or may not quote sales figures 'too' much, but they do have reason to be happy as before the generation started Nintendo was pegged as being on its last legs and on its way out - whereas now the numbers increasingly point to a miraculous comeback that I believe would be something never-before seen in the industry. Then there's also just the simple oft-repeated fact/belief that high sales of the Wii could finally help Nintendo recover from the third-party support woes it has suffered for the last two generations. Like virtually any other thing mentioned in System Wars, high sales help give a sense of validation to peoples' purchase, and is one of the only things that are maintained by relatively hard fact - unlike the other largely subjective things used for arguing in this forum.

Wait, he wasn't talking about ME, was he? I posted the top 10 games for a reason, why would I attempt to own myself if I was making the point the Wii didn't have games?

Sheep need to realise that the wii isn´t even in the same race, microsoft doesn´t care, sony doesn´t care. The wii is mainstream like britney spears and guess what, britney sells a whole lot of albums, your not gonna tell me it´s "good" music are you?

If lots of people are buying the albums, then it seems logical to assume that those people enjoy her music, whatever your own personal feelings on whether it's "good" music.

I can agree with the sheep logic gameplay over graphics but while lemmings and cows may be graphic whores sheep have become somthing much worse sales whores. the sheep constantly use it as there main source of ownage... at least graphics have somthing to do with the games but sheep just care about sales imo I may be wrong but i mean in a thread i was in like 5 sheep tried to pwn some guy by bragging about the wii's sales... sorry but this just gets me stick to gameplay sheep becuse you look stupis when you bring up sales non stop. ..kingyoto
Obviously, sales have nothing to do with games. I mean, it's not like people buy a system because it has good games or anything.

 Good music isn´t just a matter of opinion, your entitled to your opinion of course, free to it, but music isn´t something that you are born with, you can be born with talent, but music you have to learn, and most of the top selling albums in every country are pretty bad, shallow, typical, uncomplicated crap that´s simply easy to listen to cause you´ve heard the same damn thing the last bunch of years to the common folk it´s fresh and new and diferent, then a month later they go on to something else. This also kind of explains why I don´t like the wii so much, but I like the wii a lot more then bad music lol.

I'd debate whether something being good or not isn't a matter of opinion, but System Wars isn't really the place for that sort of conversation. So I'll just say that perhaps these people buying the albums are looking for something different than you are in music to buy.

That´s my point exactly, I would love to have a wii I´m sure I would have some good times with it, but it is different, it´s not really in the same category, I mean I think you either prefer a wii or in the other corner you have the ppl who prefer a 360 or ps3, some pick the 360 some pick the ps3, but I´m pretty sure if  a cow couldn´t play a ps3 anymore they would go to the 360, and vice versa, it´s really a different experience and therefor not in the same race. This must sound like a major bash to the wii but that really wasn´t what I intended.

Yeah, you can't really give "sales" as a reason to own a system. That's just ridiculously dumbMikeE21286

 

Well, sales usually means more games.  Unfortunately in the case of the Wii it will mean more mini-game compilations and cooking sims.  :lol:

The 360 and PS3 would certainly seem to be closer to each other right now than the Wii, that is true, though that might change somewhat after the libraries of the three systems solidify. At any rate the Wii is still competing with the other two for a share of the same market, as I believe most people still do not buy more than one console and that is something I'm sure Microsoft and Sony care about.

I agree with everything you said. Everytime theres a DS vs PSP or a PS3 vs Wii thread it gets flooded with this phrase -> "but teh SALEZ!!". Seriously..do people really need to know how much a console sells to buy it?

Nintendo said from the beginning! Its all about the gameplay more then graphics. kingyoto get of the weed and maybe you will understand that Nintendo is the gaming industry, Sony doesn't belong in the gaming industry. nintendo made them come in not themselfs. Microsoft came in themselfs because of all the money they made on the software and look what happen to sony now. the ps1 and ps2 didn't have great graphics. the Xbox did and Sony sal it and that is why the ps3 is so expensive because Sony doesn't now how to make great graphics like Microsoft can.

Sales are totally relevant in helping acquire new games and 3rd party support. With continually strong sales there is a better picture of future sales and user bases numbers showing Devs/Publishers that it is a sound investment to make games for a platform.

People need to understand things dont just change over night, games take years to develop. This is a business, so even though it seems like a dumb reason to go buy a console, it works because sales dictate support so buying a console that sells will almost ensures that it will have the software along side it. Later this year the effects of Wii's strong sales will be seen with larger amounts of games announced and more of those games with high production values.

I will NEVER buy a console just because it has the best sales... I buy a system for what games it has and what games it has coming out... this is stupid even though greater sales with bring more dev support it doen't make it a reason to buy a console imo

indeed but it doesn't mean sales are important to the games themselves... obviously like with a products having a buyer is part of the process but to say you product is better because it sells more is ridiculous of course they sell more small tvs than large tvs but that doesn't make the small tv's better...

but graphics have to do with the gaming experience sales are totally irrelevant

No they aren't since without sales you would not even have the gaming experience in the first place

indeed but it doesn't mean sales are important to the games themselves... obviously like with a products having a buyer is part of the process but to say you product is better because it sells more is ridiculous of course they sell more small tvs than large tvs but that doesn't make the small tv's better...

Ah but if a game doesn't sell even if its good there won't likely be a sequel made, or the company that makes it might go under, so you may not get good games in the future

true but look at the low quality of some games that sell so well such as madden and 50 cent games... but some good games also sell well zelda, GeOW, GOW and so on

Sales are totally relevant in helping acquire new games and 3rd party support. With continually strong sales there is a better picture of future sales and user bases numbers showing Devs/Publishers that it is a sound investment to make games for a platform. People need to understand things dont just change over night, games take years to develop. This is a business, so even though it is a dumb reason to go buy a console, it works because sales dictate support so buying a console that sells will almost ensures that it will have the software along side it. Later this year the effects of Wii's strong sales will be seen with larger amounts of games announced and more of those games with high production values.

I will NEVER buy a console just because it has the best sales... I buy a system for what games it has and what games it has coming out... this is stupid even though greater sales with bring more dev support it doen't make it a reason to buy a console imo

Thats totally fine and I agree for the most part. But it is a reason and an intelligent one too. A lot of people bring up sales because its really annoying when fanboys keep asking where are all the great games, expecting them to just pop up a couple months after the Wii's unexpected and highly successful launch. Strong support wasnt really there a year ago and so we are still getting the little amounts of half assed support that was there, but Wii took everyone by surprise and since November has had amazing sales each month and this is getting it better support and over the next 6 months and beyond we will gradually start to see this better support. Buying a Wii because of its strong sales and currently released games isnt a bad reason in any way.

I don't get why we can't use sales as something to brag about for the Wii

There is a REASON why Wii is selling better than 360 and PS3 momentarily, what do you think the reason is?

And if you say the motion sensing 'gimmick', GRAPHICS are just as much a a gimmick as motion sensing.  To me, showing a commercial for a PS3 game and showing off amazing graphics is no different than showing someone using a wii remote showing off the motion sensing.

A main argument for the Wii getting the gimmick rep is for the fact that the Wii-mote might not be around past this console. Graphics will always be there, therefore not a gimmick.  Graphics are an inherent part of the videogame industry.

After how successful the Wiis been, unless the Wii just stops selling, there is no reason why motion sensing wouldn't be in next gen consoles.

Sales do mean something. They good sales mean that there are a lot of people out there who like the product. Apparently people like the 360, the Wii, and especially the DS

I agree but sales still count because the system that sells well gets more support from Developers so if the console is selling great we will start to get more games, and hopefully they will be good since Developers are finally starting to put time in development of Wii games instead of just porting crap over so in a few months we will see some Quality 3rd party games releasing they are already getting announced.

MikeE21286

 

Yeah, this is THE ONLY place that sales matters. I mean it's nice that Wii is gonna get some 3rd parties......but it WILL NEVER get the main third party franchises (MGS,FF,RE,DMC etc)

 

However that leads the way for great new franchises being made for the Wii hopefullyÂ
