Did sony tell that they sold 3 million PS3?...

You know who´s pissed right now?

3rd parties.

Because they cry, call Nintendo names, say they will never work with the big N again...

But deep inside they know they´re losing money... that almost 4mil new Wii were sold this christmas... and they dont have a single game to milk that cow.

How sad.

Man the wii is such a gimmick. It held a fan base for around 3 years and still has sales. Such a gimmick.

/s

I remember a few months back when Wii haters all came out of the woodwork to scream "LOL WII FAILED".

It's been going strong for three years...

when you consider the size of nintendo as a company compared to sony and microsoft, this is amazing everytime i see it.

This is exactly what ours looks like at work.

That's a weird definition of gimmick you have there nameless one.

I'm glad that there is an alternative to the "graphics are God" crowd, and I'm glad that the Wii is doing so well. Nintendo took a huge gamble, it payed off, and lots of gamers are butthurt because the industry is becoming more diverse, and they don't like it. None of those 3.81million consoles came home with me, but one will soon.

Wow, some people sure are jealous of Nintendo's success... and I'm not talking about Sony or Microsoft.

There are some good reasons why some third-party games have flopped. From picky gamers toor silly design choices, lazy developers and cheap publishers.

MadWorld is a good game but it's length was ridiculously short and it offered little to no replay value. Unfortunately, its unique visual style seemed to be quite a turn off to a lot of gamers.

No one wanted an on-rails FPS Dead Space game. As good as Dark Side Chronicles is, people have grown tired of the on-rails FPS with 3 horror on-rails FPS gamescoming out in 2009 alone. The Conduit bombed because it didn't live up to the hype. What game developed by a small Japanese game company like Marvelous or XSEEDs has managaed to have any of their games sell well on any of the three home consoles ? Do you really expect a game like Fragile Dreams to sell more than 300k copies world wide?

No More Heroes managed to sell quite well despite the fact that Ubisoft failed to market it. I bet the sequel will sell better even though it most likely won't have a tv commercial or any real marketing effort put forth by Ubisoft for its North American release later this month. Other games like de Blob managed to sell even better than No More Heroes.

It's unfortunate that there's a lot of good games but they happen to be niche so their sales are pretty much destined to be low such as Sin & Punishment 2, Muraamsa, A Boy & His Blob and Zack & Wiki to name a few.


Clearly, the Wii userbase is a picky and trick bunch of gamers so much of the blame falls on them as well. Nintendo games sell because Nintendo knows what its fan and expanded audience gamers mostly want and they generally due the best job of promoting their games when compared to any third-party Wii developer.


If Modern Warfare 2 were to have been built from the ground up for the Wii you can bet your ass that it would have sold over a million copies. The problem is Activision isn't willing to do that for reasons that are both understandable and silly. If I'm not mistkane, every Call of Duty game has sold over a million copies on the Wii and they've all practically been watered down ports.

it was a good month for all companies. it was in fact sony's best worldwide month ever for the ps3.

and i don't have a dam ds! i want one because my little nephew has phantom hourglass and aside from its control flaws, i love it! except when i have to blow or yell into the mic. but before this year is through, i should have one.

Still? God dammit.

I confess to buying a DSi but fucking Wii? Geez.

I really wish I was one of this PS3 statistics. Heavy Rain's release date is rolling up fast.

Anybody in Houston hiring? No seriously.

I've gone through 4 DSs already and STILL haven't found a reason to keep it yet. I guess I was just playing the wrong games.

go ps2!

the power of the wii is you have to have one to know it's not that good, because everytime you go to a friend who has a wii it's fun to play together. So you go get one and discover that alone it's boring and you should have got something else.

I have friends that are happy with just playing Rockband and Mario stuff, they're happy with a game every 6 month...

i need a game every two week.

I dont have a DS because Im now waiting for the sexy as fook LL to get released. Poor PSP, I use mine a lot but have had the 3000 model since launch. The Go is just too tiny so I never upgraded.

@Benus - My Wii is manily used for Rock Band lol I have more Virtual Console games than Xbox Live Arcade though, so there is that too.

Screw the haters lol, Nintendo kickin booty again is always nice to see, and the PS3 is playing catch up quicker than I thought.

@3rd party comments: Compare Silent Hill Shattered Memories to any of the so called AAA 3rd party games on the Wii and you'll see the burning truth with your own eyes, it's not that the Wii sucks, is that 3rd party game development on the Wii as been pathetic (i'm looking at you Capcom/Spyborgs) and when they don't sell they have no option than to go back to the usual "only Nintendo games sell on the Wii". Is SH:SM flawless? hell no, but it certainly goes the distance in making an effort to bring a good product unlike other games.

Guess it's only human to blame someone else than admit "we just tried to make piles of money with half-assed games and got our balls handed to us as anyone with 2 working braincells would have deduced it would happen".

I like that the Wii keeps selling, it means Nintendo keeps filling their pockets while these 3rd parties throwing crap software at the Wii can only writhe in pain for not doing things right. Maybe they'll learn or maybe they'll keep licking their wounds while blaming others for their own mistakes.

I quite honestly can't see why the Wii would be selling very well at all as it stands right now. It would be a different story if there were games like Twilight Princess, Metroid, Brawl.. You know, more important titles.

All I've been seeing lately are shitty little games with "CARNIVAL GAME PACKS" or "FUN SPORTS MINIGAMES" flying out the wazoo. I'm sick of Wii titles that are nothing but little minigame collections. I am excited about the mysterious new Zelda game that's supposed to be coming out, but there honestly haven't been any games for the Wii for a while that would be enough hype to convince me to buy one, had I not already had a Wii for a while.

so why the hell is the wii not getting AAA support???
