I told everyone that i know that the wii was going to be the biggest thing in gaming since the nintendo and no1 took my work for it. And i would think everyone on ng is a gamer you all should of seen this coming and acted early like the rest of us. What's crazy about it, it's not that great, It's alright but nothing too mind blowing, but that's going to change once ssbb comes out and i would bet it's going tobe even harder to find.
yeah dreamcast broke records when it came out to, now look where it is.
while yes the wii has sold better than any other console, remember 360 just doesn't sell in japan. i dont know why they hate it buy they do, 360 is still outselling wii in America.
ps3 is expected to have a huge turnaround this year, the failure of hd-dvd, metal gear, grand turismo, wipe out all hitting this year. i even heard ps3 could be as low as $300 this cristmas, in that case wii would have to drop its price tremendously to stay relevant.
nintendo is pulling its last punches this year. smash brow and mario cart are the only good games slated to come out. if you google the top 2 wii games you get wii sports, wii play, and mario galaxy. wii sports comes with the damn system so that really doesnt count and wii play comes bundled with a controller so you really only pay $10 for the game. also can you name any nintendo made games that are just "omg i have to have that!" no? didnt think so.
