I know the games are there I know the brand name ones but theres a few not so well known ones that are neat so I hear.

Graphics are highly overrated!

if 1 in 5 wii owners buys 1 game for it they will still sell more units that the others put together.

so who exactly did this waste of space ask? .. did he go to the parents by the local school? .. "serious" gamers (hahaha.. that's a laugh.. "serious" gamer.. grow the f up!)? or the customers coming and going out of some lower east side crackhouse?

these idiots (analists.. wastes of skin paid money for nothing at all) have totally forgotten the wii has a different demographic to the others.. much more casual, family and kid friendly.. and those are the very people who are feeling the pinch right now...

These figures are garbage anyway.. If somebody asks me what I intend to spend my money on they get told to mind their own f-in business... same will go for 70% of pretty skint people.. only braggers will spout about how much money they have to throw about in surveys.


FYI .. I intend to buy NOTHING .. I have utility bills due next month.. so that's that.

Anyone recall the profit margins on the Wii at its original price point? This has been a coup for Nintendo so far.

"While core gamers who own a Wii own more Wii games on average than casual Wii owners, the average title ownership spread between the two categories of gamers is much lower than it is for owners of Xbox 360 and PS3 console"

Core gamers = turn the system on once in a while to see if it still works.
Casual Owners = have not turned it on in a year.

Seriously, it can't even compete with the PS2...how can they hope to compete with the 360 and PS3? You can't base your whole company on a handfull of games, most of which are available in better versions for your competitors systems. I understand that their goal is not to make a good gaming system (if they wanted to do that, they would have controlers instead of TV remotes)...but it does not do HD video either, so what the **** is the thing designed to do?

Collect dust? Cuz mine is doing that pretty well. I'm glad I had it during my college years, but dang... come out with SOMETHING. Like you said, my PS2 and my PC are still more interesting than my Wii right now and it was supposed to be all revolutionary even though the Wiimote is a flawed contraption for FPSes (with the exception of Metroid: the only game to get it right in my opinion. The Conduit felt like crap). Guncon please? Thanks Time Crisis. Man, I need to crank that game out again if I can find that gun.

They only have a few games coming out soon that will sell well...

Non gamers/Real casual gamer = have not turned it on in a year or more.

Casual Gamers(what the industry calls hard core) = Will play brands and follow trends on anything.

Hard Core gamers = left out because we demand qaulity.


Sorry I just had to fix it >>

"gamers plan to spend much less on Wii titles this holiday season in comparison to last year."
I never spent any time on Wii titles nor did i plan too.

Comment by: xnonsuchx (Nov 26, 2009 21:34)

The biggest problem for the Wii is that most owners care about the Nintendo-owned titles (Mario & Zelda). It's hard for 3rd party developers to make any money developing for the system (except maybe BoomBlox and a couple others), which eventually will drive them away. Anyone I know who owns a Wii only talks about playing Wii Sports and a few Mario titles. Good for them to be so re-playable, but it doesn't help in the long term.

Comment by: KSib (Nov 26, 2009 23:41)

Yeah, I'll agree. No More Heroes was one of my favorite Wii games, but I'm sure that didn't get the sales I think it should have gotten anyway. However, a bunch of developers are trying too hard to use the Wiimote for every gesture they can think up when they don't need to use the pointer for much at all.

I'd say ebay and Amazon are your best bet, just lurk and watch prices when they tend to dip in the 30-40 range start going after the title you want. also always know what the shipping cost is so you never go above 40 unless you just HAVE to!!!

I do it for 1-30$ stuff :P

The profit margin on the release Wii (bundle) was $50.00 (on $249.00 USD MSRP). The analysis was that they were "giving Wii Sports away for free".

I'm sure that the gross margin improved over time. Seeing as Nintendo (apparently) didn't spend any money into addl. manufacturing capacity, any savings in manufacturing would be addl. profit.

lol...I'm finding it amusing. I needed a break from Uncharted 2. Some filler material before my next real game. I obtained it for the PC last year and found that it was worth something to me...eventually (only played through an hour or 2 of it). Just not nearly worth as much as what was being asked retail.

Back on topic...(sort of)...my wife is asking for a Wii. Ughh....

*twitch twitch* liek MW2 its to much generic modern design for my tastes....

(more off topic)
Wut she dun like yers?
LOL
(back to topic...if I must....)

The WII is better than it looks go after the the lesser known titles there are some gems in them so I keep hearing under the grape vine(were all the sane gamers have moved to :P), right now I hope to get a 360 but the next thing I am getting is a WII unless I can get my hands on a cheap 60GB PS3 ^_~

Comment by: John_Donn (Dec 01, 2009 20:42)

The wii is marketed at kids and older people (40+) the xbox 360 and ps3 is marketed towards teens all the way to prob people in their 30's somewhere. Any gamer who buys a wii who is 13-39 is not a hardcore gamer,they are a db. hardcore gamers own a 360 and/or a ps3. I say 360 more though because it has better online multiplier whereas ps3 is more the loner console you play by yourself....

yeah, pretty much :P She's been seeing a lot of commercials with Wii dancing games and is really interested in something new. Plus my kids are old enough now to really enjoy it. I guess it would be for the best. Get them away from my plasma TV.....he he he

...orly? I need a console that gives me online multipliers.

I haven't played much multiplayer on the 360, but I've had no issues with PS3 multiplayer support, aside from other peoples crappy connections. How do you back up that statement?
