it's basically dominating in Japan so it isn't a complete loss.

(4.26 - 5.2)
- PSP: 59,315 30,557 (106.26%)
- PS3: 32,874 7,245 (28.27%)
- Wii: 30,757 7,066 (29.83%)
- DSi LL: 25,569 8,893 (53.33%)
- DSi: 15,628 4,988 (46.88%)
- Xbox 360: 4,943 2,729 (123.26%)
- DS Lite: 4,068 1,279 (45.86%)
- PSP Go: 1,890 346 (22.41%)
- PS2: 1,577 87 (5.84%)

Considering nobody had come close to touching Nintendo's portable dominance prior to this, they've had a decent showing. Also, it's a five year old system that's still overpriced in the states and doesn't have a ton of games that appeal to audiences over here (whereas in Japan it has a shitload of stuff those gamers want)

They're still kinda hard to get from what I hear.

Reggie was right. This is still on the charts but MW2 blew it's load early. Nintendo marathons while everyone else sprints.

Hahaha

PS3 is more of a fighting fan system so I'm not surprised to see this the same way I'm not surprised when FPSes do better on 360. Those systems attract similar but slightly different gamers.

ever came out in the same genre right then, maybe they'd be marathoning too.

there's no comparison to be made there.

Nobody believed him when he said that shit.

Or maybe they were just talking first week sales.

Like, Nintendo titles DON'T leave the charts. Which makes it frustrating for someone who likes to buy single player games used, lol. Mario Kart for DS is what, 5 years old? Still at full price! LOL.

There is no doubt console and the sale of single titles will belong to the big N at the end of the generation.

been hearing that for years in this post but it keeps on trucking.

The offspring :-D

omg is the 360 dead too???

Most people keep talking from a video game company perspective. But why? Of course Nintendo has old games selling well. They're releasing one good game every couple months and leaving the table empty for people to buy something other than that good game that came out months ago. If there was really good material coming out on Wii every month like the other systems I doubt you'd see older games like Super Mario still doing great numbers. But that's not the case. It's terrible for gamers. If all every day gamers had only Wiis they'd be ready to shoot somebody imo. I just don't understand why people act tho as if its a good thing for anyone but Nintendo. It's great on their part.

Put a gun to Activision's head (or any non-Capcom third party) and make them put out better third party titles? Stop making good first party games? Release first party titles more frequently?

I agree with your general point, but I'm not sure what Nintendo can actually do to change it, outside of go back in time and scrap the Wii design and go for a HD console that doesn't differentiate itself from the PS360.

but the point aobut cats being proud about what Nintendo is doing doesn't seem to be something a gamer would want to do imo cuz it doesn't seem to be in the gamer's favor. That's all.

Gamers or themselves. The problem with the Wii lies squarely on the third party companies (Capcom excepted.) They're the ones who are fucking up.

Nintendo's first party titles have been outstanding this generation.

Their first-party games are the reason why I still have use for the Wii. I do acknowledge that many of the third-party games are crap and I even expressed disappointment, but still....


By the way, for those who might care, Sin & Punishment has finally come to North America for the Wii. I'm not into shooter games like that, but DAMN that preview for it looked impressive.

unit in ur crib
despite all the niggas on here MOST ppl don't buy two consoles like the 360 and ps3
it's either one or the other
the wii found a lane where they can be a secondary machine to the owners of one of those other two consoles
and they sale to the casual gamer that doesn't WANT a ps3 or 360
why WOULD they need a ton of games?
u play ur wii when u feel like it
casual gamers play it at cook outs etc
so the quality and amount of games is adequate imo

~~~~~~

3rd party needs to step their game up...

Capcom is the only one really coming through for them just like previous gen

they getting that soccer mom money. beyonce on the couch with a crossword puzzle money. ellen degeneres just ordered 200 wii's and wii fits money...

gamers be damned

only thing wii is good for is playing my gamecube collection...

------------------------
-mommy, renzo was rappin on your record player-

is crazy because of the Wii.

never really get old. A testament to the quality and the appeal of the games (well, their first-party games) if they can sell good even long after the initial hype is gone at FULL retail price.

It would be mainly for playing emulator games from the NES age and some of the cool ish they got for the system. (edit) It's region free like the DS, cool.

and stronger hardware like that. At least not yet. Nintendo played it smart by not going HD right away since many don't have an HDTV and still won't for a little while longer. While I may be disappointed with the Wii not being able to play DVD's and CD's, that's unless I download the Homebrew program, it makes sense why Nintendo didn't install those capabilities. What's the point when my current desktop and my brother's PS2 already has it?

Powerful hardware like PS3 and 360 are selling well. Not as well as Wii, but they're not doing bad and they'll only do better in time. Game sales on the powerful hardware are high as well. And it's hard finding a non-HD TV now in stores which further leads to powerful HD hardware selling better as time progresses. Now Nintendo was smart for how they went about things. They repackaged the GameCube with a new design and control scheme and people bought it like crazy. I aint mad at em. If you could basically spend little and give people the same tech over again with slight enhancements and get people to buy it like hotcakes, go for it imo.

to make a new console in the next 5 years. That's what I'm more hoping for now that the games I just might consider giving a chance to are starting to coming out.

Although for the life of me I can't figure out what that's going to be like. Because if they offer HD and an online experience similar to MS/Sony and MS/Sony have motion control (which they will unless Kinect and Move are Virtual Boy level flops) what will be the difference?

Does Nintendo have some ultra next level shit that we're not even thinking about yet, or will we have to spend the next console war actually discussing GAMES?

I'm surprised that MHT sold 6 figures. It looks like Capcom might get something that they didn't get with Z&W.
