Too Wii or not to Wii... is that a question? |
Listed in: Wii Tags: CNN, Japan, Sony
Ó
CNN recently released an analysis piece discussing the Wii's place in the stock market. According to the piece, the Wii may be overvalued and this may hurt it in the long run if the next-gen console can't keep its momentum. For now though, it's still going strong.Nintendo stocks remain high in Japan - in fact, its stock went higher than Sony's at one point in the summer. The problem, as the piece states, is that Nintendo's stocks depends on a lot of factors tied with its consoles whereas Sony has investments in other industries.
The Wii has to maintain its momentum or else the stock will indeed turn out to be overvalued. Some believe that Nintendo will have a tough time topping the success of the Wii and may not live up to the promise of its stocks.

At least, not if you're a hardcore gamer. The Wii's too 'kiddy'.

A good example is when playing Metroid Prime 3. You can either point at the screen and act like you have an arm cannon, or you can just sit down on the couch with the Wiimote in your lap and make very minor movements. And that is how I could play the Wii all day long. +)
Of course graphics wise the PS3 wins, but I don't understand what that has to do with the original post.

Secondly, who gives a ***** about manhunt in the first place? It's a crappy, stupid series and the amount of non-gamers who care about it far outweighs the actual gamers who want it.

I've seen multiple comments saying the Wii has only ports and mini-game compilations, but that's also very untrue. Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3 are all ultra-high quality games, not ports, not mini-game compilations. They are just as good as any Halo game. (Oh noes, here come the Halo fanboys and perhaps a fangirl! "HALO IS BETTER THAN METROID UHDURR!" Please, I said it for you, spare us all the drivel.)
Let's review:
Twilight Princess: 9.7/10(1Up.com), 9.5/10(IGN), 4.5/5(Gamestop user reviews)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: 9.1/10(1Up.com), 9.5/10(IGN), 4.5/5(Gamestop user reviews)
Do I need to go on?
1Up.com reports 13 games with a score of 8.0 or better.
IGN has SEVENTY-SIX (76) games with 8.0 or higher

And 19 games with a 9.0 or higher.

Also, "Mister Common Sense," do you invest? Do you have anything to do with stocks? Do you have any idea what exactly effects stock changes? Do you have any idea what things are in store for the Wii or the DS? Are you perhaps a Nintendo 'insider'? If not then on what exactly do you base your claims of the Wii being "past its peak [sic]" or that it will "fall in popularity"? It almost just seems like you're a PS3 or 360 fanboy trying to bash the Wii.
Lastly: "Other (better) systems don't need a video in the store telling you how to use it and how great it is, when there isn't even any in stock." That's pretty funny. The PS3s at both Wal-Mart's in this town have signs posted on them... "Out of order". That's 3 PS3's total. You want to know how many people stand in front of the Wii display trying out SMGalaxy compared to the 360? Let's just say the Wii has the heftier side of the ratio.
