I think that selling more than twice what the PS3 and 360 sold combined is a pretty good measure of success. If you don't think that is success, then the other two are not likely to be successful in your eyes for a very long time, if ever.
You are correct. You would think people would be used to it, but seeing as there are many people who dress like sausages and like to say "hmm, girl you look good!" then it is no wonder people are somehow shocked when the board tells them they are fat.
Here are some suggestions:
1. You're chubby, but juicy.
2. You must look like a sausage!, but tasty.
3. WOW keep your warranty papers handy...

Who is complaining? I am pretty happy with the games available on the wii. Last time I checked, this particular article (which is what we are discussing here) is about how Nintendo flourishes while 3rd party developers don't. Does it not make sense that if they don't put the effort, they shouldn't be expecting Nintendo-like success?
The hardware point is mute. Developers have the Nintendo console (nuances and all) as a development platform. If they want t...
The blame should be placed on developers. Don't blame Nintendo for not producing a machine with the same processing power as the other competitors.
A good game, with a good story line doesn't need the best graphics to be good, or to be great games. If that was the case then every game ever released before Crysis (the current standard) wouldn't be worth playing (which is not the case).
One very good example: The Ocarina of Time. By today's standards, the game has very...
"Part of it is that third-party publishers like EA were caught off guard by the Wii's success a couple of years ago, and are still scrambling to create titles for the platform."
Pretty self-explanatory.
Good games = good sales.
Since launch. I could not believe that Walmart would have one in stock, and too bad I didn't know one of my friends at work wanted one, otherwise I would have bought it.
Thank you for being one of the very few voices of reason in this board... Bubbles...
"The superior processing power of the PS3 means better A.I. and physics."
That is a very interesting comment, but wrong. More processing power doesn't always mean "better" AI, or physics. What it does mean is the potential for more of it. You see what I am getting at? Yes the PS3 and the 360 have more power than the wii, and yes the do have the potential for applying complex AI and physics over larger scales, but that doesn't mean better physics or A.I.

We are talking about GENERATION here right? How am I wrong? would you be so kind to enlighten me?
You do realize that my computer, which runs dual 8800GTX in SLI will spank your SP3 any day right? and just a simple matter of upgrading my quad core processor to guess what? THE NEXT GENERATION quad core, will effectively bring my computer to the NEXT GEN... (since that is what you fanboys are using nowadays)
My point is that if you are people are going to call the wii,...

You get bubbles for having common sense...
hm...
Try the PC... see above...
Why is it stupid?
Explain, and please if you are going to explain don't tell me that the graphics are better on PS3. Tell me why the gameplay is better on PS3, and I will then tell you why it would be better on a PC...
Not-serious IPs:
* Metroid Prime
* No more heroes
* Zelda: The Twilight Princes
* Kingdom Hearts (if on wii...)
I mean get over it. If you think any IP with Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck is serious, then YOU should get serious...
Geez, some people will complain about anything...
A true Next-Gen sequel could only be played on a PC. I mean if you really cared about graphics, that is the only place where you can get it right? not on a console running on nVidia 7800 class GPUs (Read: TWO generations behind)...
I can't wait for this game. I am sure that when this game makes it to the wii (if ever), it would be a great game.
My question is: how does Nintendo make a new story out of Kid Icarus without getting into something like Zelda? I mean like an action RPG adventure that takes you through missions and mini-quests etc that seem too much like Zelda?
One thing is for sure, if I have to fly, and shoot arrows in 3D the wiimote is the controller to have. It would have been to...
So are you saying that the other consoles are better made than the wii? Can you prove it?
Here is how: Leave your PS3/360 running for 3 months without turning it off and see what happens :).
You see, that is the key...
There are far more people out there who find the wii more appealing that the PS3, hence the sales figures.
Consider this, the graphics point is mute. My PC will spank the PS3 any day when it comes to graphics, so it isn't about graphics. Not to mention that the only games that I would care about are also available on PC (thus making the need of a PS3, well, not really a need...), and if you are like me and already have a Blu-Ray player, then why ...
Sorry dude, but a single GT isn't going to show you all the eye candy, not if you are running a large monitor, not to mention a dual core processor running 2.5GB of ram. Try two 8800GTX overclocked in SLI, 8GBs of ram on a quad core...
I don't know, but it makes a PS3 seem like a toy to me.
As to what does the PS3 do that the wii doesn't? It plays movies, it allows you to run a different OS, and plays at higher resolutions. But is also louder, needs to be well ventil...
Everyone I know who does have wii, plays it, and buys games for it on a regular basis...
