We already have huge expanses, and to be honest, they can be a pain to cross. Once something gets so big, it becomes over whelming, this is why I don't play Western RPGs like Elder Scrolls. Japanese RPGs are known to be more linier, with a better sense of direction.
Seriously, we already have distinct NPCs, and what more do they do to need "complex AI?" They're either there for decoration, or they're there to give you a quest, etc. Sometimes, developers will bring more to them, like having them sleep in their homes at night, etc (Zelda has done this on the N64, other games have been doing it since the SNES I believe). What more do you really need?
As for AI, I REALLY don't want monsters to become so complex that it takes me 5 hours to beat them. Bosses sure, but a good programmer doesn't need a ton of CPU power to make good AI. A good programmer know's the player's abilities, and he'll know to to program a boss to counter them.
As for textures, etc, the Wii is fine enough for me if DQSwords is any indication.
Really, if you're going for single player action games/ single player FPS, THEN you might need more CPU power. But hell, we've had pretty good AI in the past.
There's a limit to everything. RPGs have set balance that they follow. If there is to much of something, it can overwhelm the player. Why do you think JRPGs mostly use turn based systems? Because they don't want to overwhelm the player. This was actually in an interview, though I forget which.
Really, considering development time and budget, you're not going to get many games that much better than what we have outside of graphics and physics. Developers have time limits, and they can't sit around all day programming a complex AI for a simple monster, that is usually saved for bosses.
Not to mention RPG fans that I know absolutely loathe spending more than 10 seconds fighting trash mobs to get to the boss.

Asking me as a gamer...I'm greedy. I want the Wii controls. I want the PS3/360 horsepower. And I want it all at $299. I'm not going to get what I want this generation, but somehow I will manage. Next generation all three will probably help me out.
I think the real irony in all this is the fact in 5 years, the games for ps3 and 360 that graphic oriented enthusiasts (whores maybe) are going to be looking back on now and say that the graphics are dated and useless. Now that the PS3 and 360 are out, any game experience prior is invalidated and worthless. It's a garbage philosophy. No different then chewing gum, it loses flavor quickly and is thrown away. That is quite sad to me.
I think the Wii is underpowered. The HD systems provide better opportunities for larger environments, better physics and better AI. From that aspect it's important. However, a lot of these games LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. It's all Unreal engine 3, which just looks boring. I don't see a whole lot of "art" going on. People should be concerned about this. Also the fact PS3 and 360 are scarily resembling the mid 90's U.S. arcade scene.
What the Wii provides is something the others cannot do or do as well. A physical experience. Not simplified or innovative controls. I hope the developers make games that take into account your actual stamina, because when you get tired, your body changes. You have trouble focusing or get startled easier, you let your guard down. This is a potentially huge aspect to be explored (especially in survival horror games). Yes, there is lame waggle right now that's just tacked on for the most part. However with a skyrocketing userbase, I look forward to this aspect. Obviously there are other potentials, but this one in particular is what I find to be exciting.

I don't get why some people act as if the Wii is just gonna stop progressing from here on out. Graphically, it won't be able to compete directly with the realistic browns of the PS3 and 360, but it is more than capable of competing in the art direction department, and frankly, many Wii games can use some polishing. SMG is a great benchmark.
Then there's the possibilities of the waggle, Wii Sports set the pace and I'm excited about it's future. Hey, it's the main reason I bought a console for the first time in my life.

Well, this is a sales thread, and I didn't want to really start shit in one of the Home/LBP/Mii/Achievement/SMG bitch threads, so...
Our store got in 3 Wiis and 5 DS Lites yesterday. That's the only shipment for March.
With the PS3, we got in 8, and have 11 total (there was none sold between last Sunday and today). To me, it looks like Sony's gonna be flooding the channels with product so they can meet their estimates. We're only one store, but the same thing happened in 2005 with the PSP and last December with the Xbox 360.

Hmm, worldwide launch must be raping their factories. : (
Eteric Rice said:
It's driving me nuts that we're still selling 3 within a day. The day that we get them.
I can't believe that in March, on a Friday morning, that we're still getting calls and people walking in hoping to buy one. On the plus side we got more Wii Plays and remotes in.
A quick run over to a local Target yesterday (to pick up a damn new microwave for the dorm...) revealed two empy "slots" where Wii Plays were once, and a shitload of copies of Sonic and the Secret Rings.
I just had to give my little anecdotal evidence after Anihawk reminded me of the game. Also, Wii Play will be a million-seller next week in Japan alone. Sheesh...
Oh, and of course Wiis were sold out and there were about four or five PS3s locked up below. It sounds like Nintendo's really spread out trying to get shipments out. If Japan shipments were low last week, maybe Europe or the U.S. got more than usual? This Target got 210 Wiis at launch, so I think it would be stupid to just get three for a whole month. If they're giving three to five systems per big store, something needs to bite them in the ass.

I'm sure they know how important it is to strike while iron is hot. And the Wii is so very hot right now. I last heard two million DSs were being produced a month. How many Wiis are being made a month?

They just can't produce enough Wiis or DS's it seems.
Here's hoping demand still stays hot

Hmm. For January the Japanese shipments and the NA shipments were very close... almost identical I believe. It's easy to follow Wii shipments because the system is reportedly supply-constrained in both territories, so it's a simple matter of looking at the sales (and adjusting for Canada and Mexico in the NPD numbers).SonSon2 said:
We have all the MC numbers for February in Japan, and they add up to 278,646 total sold (and presumably very close to that shipped). The beginning and ending dates for NPD February don't precisely match MC's dates but it's close enough to draw some conclusions. IF Nintendo has continued the pattern of shipping equal stock to both NA and Japan and IF the Wii has continued to sell out through most of the country (it certainly has in this area) then NPD for Wii in February should be 280,000 minus whatever is allocated to Canada and Mexico.
I'm saying probably 240,000.
One further note: Big-box stores in this area have been getting relatively large quantities of stock onto the shelf at surprising times. I saw a dozen Wiis on the shelf at Best Buy late one Thursday evening (they persisted for at least an hour but were gone by the next day). Circuit City restocked twice? I think. Shipments are happening, though perhaps not at quite the weekly rate we saw in January. Perhaps they're holding back for something? Release of Super Paper Mario, maybe?
The Sphinx said:
They said they'd be upping production in April, which looks to be a big, big month. Super Paper Mario for the Wii (IF properly advertised, will be a big game [though not as big as Super Mario Galaxy or SSBB]), and Pokemon for the DSL, which I'm assuming they're slowly building up supply for.

What if Nintendo just isn't selling that many Wiis right now? Can anyone really confirm they are selling out, or is it a way to rationalize slowly-declining Wii sales?
Inhumanility said:
Well from every single bit of anecdotal evidence I'v e heard or read about, they are still being sold very quickly.
If I had to, I would guess at 350-375K for the February NPD. We'll see soon..
Well, February NPD should be interesting then. It's so frustrating. I've been wanting to play Wii with my Bro (as in blood, not some f'n frat) for a while, but he can't find one. Here's hoping they'll have some real stock in the next few months.
It really is amazing the demand for Wii. Never would I have thought this would have gone down a year ago.
I can hear HD enthusiasts crying in the backround...

Well, Wii production is supposed to increase soon, if it hasn't already, but it will still take time for shipments, Nintendo doesn't want to invest in airlifts like Sony recently did. :lol

Just noticed something with last Famitsu chart....

Tales of Destiny 2 Bandai Namco 14.908 80.411
Man, thats some easy resemblance to see :lol
This week ToD2 didn't make it to Top30 in MC so I guess it won't make it in Famitsu either. ToP was in top30 but with just 7349 so I think ToD2 can do pretty much the same although outside the top30. The last numbers from ToP we got put it around 110k.
I'm quite dissapointed that the first port of a PS2 Tales in PSP has done like the 4th ToP version though.
I guess we'll see ToP (and FFI and FFII :lol ) on XBLA, DS, Splogenborg, PSN....

What the **** is this comment based on? Certainly not anything in the 20 posts before you in this thread. Talk about bending reality to suit your preferences.
It amazes me that the people tracking sales trends are called raving Nintendo fanboys while people like this show up every week and get off the hook.

There's more Dreamcast games on the most recent Top 30 than PS3 games. Whoops.
Is it still confirmed that Wii's are completely sold out in Japan, or are they just hard to find but not impossible? I'm not looking for beliefs but actual confirmation. Thanks!

There's more Dreamcast games on the most recent Top 30 than PS3 games. Whoops.
Is it still confirmed that Wii's are completely sold out in Japan, or are they just hard to find but not impossible? I'm not looking for beliefs but actual confirmation. Thanks!

We will find this out next week, when Wii either sold around 75k (which means it´s outsold) or sold as bad as this week, which would point towards "not outsold".

Hey it was just an assumption. I mean we can making excuses on why the Wii is selling less and less every week.
I really doubt Nintendo is shipping 10,000 less Wiis every week to Japan. Like I doubt they only shipped 85000 one week (selling 83k) then decided, "Oh lets ship 10k less next week". It doesn't make sense.
Not to mention that one week there were 30k Wiis that weren't sold and were just in stock that MC didn't track. I mean there's always that possibility

I think that's enough evidence to show that D/P is hardly "done".

Not suprised at Wii doing well, compared to PS3 and 360 it just feels like a bargin and then when you think of playing Wii Tennis, you just think why not.

This would be a good post if Wii sales were going down each week, rather than going up and down on alternating weeks without noticeable effect by software releases.
Maybe if you read the thread you'd know something about their manufacturing cycle.

im the one who predicted its sells being lower than 63k by looking at its sales trend, so don't try and sit there and lecture me on reading the thread.
And how has Japan been getting an unproportioned bigger shipment of Wiis each month?
JAPAN
US
I see nothing that supports that statement.
