Too Wii or not to Wii... is that a question?

Nintendo Wii in the stock market - Image 1

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.

Back on the subject(freepla y and kanvin100) the reason I agree i guess is because all nintendo ever has done is make systems and games and its going against two big corporations like it says in the article sony actually has other places stock is invested. Nintendo needs to look at exspanding their stock base(I am no investor) and think of the security of the company.

Well that's one of the great things about the Wii. You can either wave your arms all day or not. You can play sitting down or not. With the Wii you can make the exaggerated movements shown on TV ads, or you can just flick the wrist.

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.

I'd say no. Not until more games that aren't mini game compilations and ports with tacked on controls come out.

playing game with blood, gore, and guns does not make you a hardcore gamer its the amount of games you play

# manhunt 2 is completely irrelevant — Mr Toasty 2007-11-12 10:21

First off the only reason it's on Wii is because it was supposed to be all platforms but the PS3 and 360 versions were deemed too violent

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.

It seems alot like the only people who've played a Wii here are Billie and I. I'll add real quick that I have never been tired playing the Wii. No game requires the exaggerated movements shown on TV, just as Billie pointed out.

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.
