With the lack of quality games on the Wii being blatantly apparent I can't see how anyone would decide to get one now. It was promising at the start. I even got one at launch but traded it in a year later with only 7 games of which only 3 were exclusives.

I don't think I've seen a thread on here where someone has said they are buying a Wi nor even a thread discussing a Wii subject.

Are they still outselling the 360 and PS3?
 
I think it will shoot past the 50 million mark this week or next, so not to badly.


I have just finnished Broken sword for it, so im still getting some use out of it.
 
Still selling well by all accounts due to Wii Sports and all that other junk which appeals to the non-gamer/casual gamer audience.

Nintendo have seriously forgotten their core audience, but still are making mega bucks in the process.
 
no idea but the games still suck and the shelfs are generally full of novelty games that are basically glorified flash games you could play on a pc without spending a penny.

some of the games in the charts have been there for aslong as i can remember which tells you something.
 
I belive Mario Galaxy is still in the top 10. Its been out forever. You really dont have all that much choice when it comes to quality gaming on the wii
 
Yeah i did also lol. I actually qued up outside of a store for 5hrs to get one.. less than a yr later it was gone for the price i paid for it.
 
People in a "hardcore" gaming section for a "hardocore" PC hardware site are perhaps not the people to ask. They still sell a huge amount of consoles each month nintendo software sells like mad for example Wii fit has sold nearly as many copies as Sony has PS3's! My Wii doesnt get used often, im waiting for my Mad world rental to arrive and see whats that like. Ninty are aiming for a different demographic to Sony and MS and it works well, shame that there is only a few games worth purchasing and post ports are no nos. My hope is that it will get people into gaming and they will want to progress to the 360/PS3, my worst fear is that MS and Sony see the Wiis success and go down that way.
 
How can their be a lack of decent quality games?

every console has a lack of decent quality games, the 360 has a load of games that sound good but are majory pants. The problem with the Wii is that their is more shovelware than any other console so it's hard to find the gems.

Madworld, Broken sword, mario games, zelda, Excite truck, SSBB, Resident Evil, House of the dead, Tenchu, lego, classic games, wiiware etc.

I still can't believe that Disaster day of crisis has gone by undetected, I didn't even know it was released until a few months after, probably the best 3rd party game to date for the wii.

It's still got the appeal if you are willing to find the games that are good, if you don't look deeply then shovelware is all you'll see.

Only a sell out would buy a Wii, they have darkened the console market, never seen so much tripe on a console.

There are actually some decent games on the Wii as mentioned above. I played Mario Kart Wii last year more than any other console game this gen.

whats the point in pursuing the core audience when they nearly went under pursuing it previously? Since theres another 2 manufacturers with more financial muscle pursuing the exact same audience.


Wii is no doubt still doing great.
