[QUOTE="Kakarot00769"]for the un initiated , sales will guarantee your fave hardware manufacturer /developer will keep on churning out games you love ,or consoles /handhelds in nintendo's case ,...dreamcast had a better library compared to ps2's 1st year library of games ...heres my question ..where is the dreamcast now ???...sales do matter ..especially to the gamers .Marka1700

Or you could attract those like Ubisoft who make lowbudget Wii shovelware to help fund thier major 360/PS3/PC projects.

true ,but how long can they ignore the wii is the question .

[QUOTE="Kakarot00769"]1 thing that the hardcore crowd does not realize is nintendo needs to make a lot of money to create the next mario, zelda ,metroid & super smash bros brawl with development times that takes 2-3 years ...with wii-fit ,wii-play ,brain training ,wii-sports nintendo is exposing what they are really good @ and that is bringing the casual gamer on board in the millions and development costs for these type of games are much lower than your zelda's and mario's ,i welcome wii-music to nintendo's next million selling title PC360Wii

What if we dont want to play Mario/Zelda for the rest of our lives and what 3rd party people to create masterpieces? What is Nintendo doing to cater to this audiance? very little.

you want great 3rd party games ? stick to pc

btw ...cant wait for lich king , have you heard that you can transfer from pve serv to pvp serv now? ...

Wow. Sales! Wonderful!

Clearly, these sales will magically prevent my Nintendo Wii from gathering dust as I use my other consoles instead.
