Not just that; they have a majority of the pie. Or a Pac-Man, I guess.TheKingsCrown said:Doesn't this mean that Nintendo is the new leader of videogame console next generation sales in Japan?
Fuzzy mentioned from DS launch, but if we're talking the DS crazy time, and even then just look at the Lite from launch and ignore the fat sales... 6 or 7 months. But even if it only sold at 1/5 the rate of the DS Lite it would be their most successful console since SNES.moku said:
Well, that would be a step up from GameCube's single million seller in Japan.farnham said:
From development to media cost to third party treatment, PS1 was the best platform for making games. PS2 was essentially able to dominate by coasting, though Sony no longer had such advantages; and in fact had the weakest, least multiplayer-friendly, yet most expensive hardware. PS3: $500 and unavailable.ORANGUTAN said:

Wait a minute, what makes Capcom "PS3 centric", with Dead Rising and Lost Planet on Xbox 360, and RE5 on both platforms?

I believe they are typing that with respect to the PS3-Wii binary competitive landscape
Agreed.
The PSX innovated.
It was a simple thing (CD Media), but it changed the entire industry view.
Most times someone succeeds in turning the tables in an industry its because they innovated and changed the model against which products are evaluated and compared. People writing Wii of becuase it was different were missing the very point.

If Nintendo winning the console war means more of this. I don't care if they release a system that can only display 5 colours at once.
Long live Nintendo!!

Someone please change the thread title to "Wii utilizes big breasts, nearly 400,000 horny males become erect"

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, but i think it's pretty clear that a lot of people were very impressed with the graphics in DQ8 and many are salivating at the prospect of taking that kind of graphics style into next gen.
For myself, i can do without it, but there are people out there who see it differently.. there are also other franchises that would never see a fully next gen upgrade

No, I disagree with that statement. If Sony can't manufacture the consoles to sell it has an impact on the "war", they don't get a free pass because they didn't meet manufacturing quotas. That's part of the game. Microsoft had the same problem, and even Nintendo is running into supply issues for the second time this year, the first being DS Lite in Japan. Nobody gets a free pass.Furoba said:

I agree. These companies spent years developing their consoles. How could they forget about the most important part?

I cant wait to see the first Wiinsertion
That day will be golden.

No, it'd be a disaster only if you are picky about graphics. Anyway, have you graphics whore ever thought that the PS3/360 winning by a landslide would be a disaster for those who don't enjoy overpriced consoles and samey games?
Perosnally I hope the Wii wins this gen with the 360 a close second so we get a mix of both styles at a reasonable price.
Also: That girl is hot.

Saturn, TurboCD and Genesis CD all predated it. The Playstation didn't take over just because of the CD. It was a confluence of multiple things. Fairly easy to program for (not like the 7 processor saturn), powerful enough to do reasonable 3d stuff, and most of all, the cost to press the CDs was so cheap that they could put forward a much better business model. On top of that, the worked closely and courteously with developers, unlike Nintendo, who as a company believed themselves to be on top of the industry and not subject to publisher's wants and needs.Pellham said:

Can't wait to see the media create sales data at the end of the week. Should bee WiiDS all over the place.
By contrast the Australian launch will be quite small, but never the less it will sell out. Doesn't worry me though. I have my pre-order including all the games I want, and confirmed to attend a midnight launch. While everyone else is desperately seeking a Wii on day one, I'll be at home playing Monkey Ball.
