kids love the wii thats the only reason why i could see it doing good in sales

but in games ps3 and even the xbox360 could destroy the wii any day



the way its probably going to rank up soon is:



Ps3

xbox360

other systems that destroy the wii

dead last: wii

You've managed to waste our time by stating what is already completely obvious to EVERYONE.

That's totally BS. The PS3 might come on second place, but not because of the disc format. Blu-Ray has won the format war for over a year now, and it did nearly nothing to the Xbox360 to PS3 sales.

are u saying that the wii, a system that has consistently been at the top of the market for almost 3 years now, is going to fade away in 6 or 7 years because its a "fad"? itll stop when nintendo makes a new system, not because people will stop buying the system and its "superfluous gimmicky software", i consider myself a hardcore gamer and i only own the wii, i own about 20 games for it and none of them are gimmicky, maybe harvest moon is a bit, but its still in my eyes a hardcore game, much more than the run of the mill shooters that are now being pumped out for the PS3 and 360, now i know im gonna rated lowly for this comment, but how many of you that rate me down will be 360 or PS3 owners that consider yourselves "hardcore" because you play games that are rated mature and have swearing and blood, not saying those games arent good, but why are nintendo games for kids? play mario galaxy, even though theres no blood or swearing and its rated E, its very much a hardcore game, whats more hardcore than a new Mario game? its a series that almost single handedly saved the gaming industry and has constantly been improved to keep up with current standards.



and damonous, please don't use big words to make yourself seem smarter, superfluous would have been enough since it would mean the same thing without gimmicky, and embellishment.... go look up the meaning of that word

You have to realize though that the VAST majority of people out there still have not picked up a blu-ray player.



I know a lot of people that love their entertainment and are still ok with DVD's and HD rips off the net.



It will take a few years for people to start really making the switch and by then PS3 will be much cheaper and anyone thinking "I need a blu-ray player and a new console" will get a PS3. Most people though will pick up a $99 blu ray player.....

splontot has a point...



there are plenty of games on the wii that any truely hardcore gamer would enjoy.



the problem is for everyone of those, there are 25 that are gimmicky crap, with ***** for controls.



i as a hardcore gamer waited patiently for over a year for more devs to add classic control support... to no avail. then my ex took the wii with her, and i only missed it because i stood in the freezing cold for hours to get the damn thing...



sluggish/inaccurate controls would kill a game in the 8 and 16bit days, and they still do... for me anyway.

maybe the reason why japanese people dont like the xbox is because they just dont like the games? just look at the games that come out of japan. maybe if there were more RPGs and dating sims, it would sell more on that side of the planet.

patcher always sucks, his damn prediction are always and always would be wrong, at first i believe in his predictions,ex. ps3 price cut, it does not happened on April but instead would be speculated till September to November this year ... so he really sucks!



i just hope he gets another job and not be a dumb analysts who cannot predict to damn well ...

Mr patcher i think you missed the natal episode , also the ps3 slim and cut prices with HQ an HD games

your getting upset at the Japanese people for not buying the 360? What would you think if someone said **** the americans, they only buy the 360 cause their prejudice. Last time I checked Final Fantasy XIII is only coming to PS3 in Japan and that seems to do pretty well over their, also the Yakuza series. Those two series alone beat out the b class rpgs microsoft has gotten exclusivity to.

who is this patcher guy everyone is talking about?



i know, i know. i just found it amusing that no one that has mentioned him by name spelled it correctly.



it actually makes it look like he knows more of what he's talking about than you do. something to think about...

sony's approach is way better than nintendo's...



it's traditional motion capture vs an accelerometer, any one with a clue can see which will be more accurate...

sorry, the plus signs is supposed to be an equal sign, i had forgotten that the scripting is a little bit confusing. also i did pressed the 'enter' button (functions as "\n" in C) , altough it appears to be not displayed.
