Well am I lying? I don't think I am. Gimmick is what people buy when there are no quality games pushing the system. Ratings are used for good games and for bad games and if you have not noticed there are a lot of bad games with poor ratings on the wii than any other system of next gen.

Of course it does not help that the gamecube rapes the wii in quality games and yet the masses are buying the wii, well we know it's not because of the quality games.

There is a ridiculous amount of shit titles on Wii, I agree. Thankfully though they don't detract from the fact that to the mainstream, Wii Sports is a better game than anything on 360 or PS3 could ever be.

Ah, the revenue argument! Shall we talk about profits, too?
SHALL WE TALK ABOUT PROFITS?

Microsoft just put out Vista which will be bought by BILLIONS and Office 2007 which is a standard piece of software for almost every office in the world.
Sony is one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world, their products fly off the shelf and they will be the company who most benefits from Blu-Ray's success.
Nintendo is making a small amount of money in the games market.

The Wii does have the worst line-up out of the 3 next-gen consoles. I own all 3, and it has by far the worst.
Hey its another of the famous thousand paid by Sony!

Infact the 360 has the best line up, followed by the wii and then the PS3.

Ok. And Wii is kicking both Sony's and MS' ass with worse than bad line-up, so what happens when the big names from Nintendo start coming out this fall? Any guesses?

Ports from DS and lots of bad dumbed down games and gameplay. Super Paper Mario just shows how bad Nintendo is losing their touch. Don't worry, it's still going to sell because there are a lot of people that don't know better.

Bad games on a Nintendo platform such as wii don't matter because it's all about the waggle and that is all people care about anyway.

I thought we were talking about profits in the gaming divisions? What the hell does Vista and TVs have to do with how much money is being lost on the 360 and the PS3, when you brought up a Revenue chart? Besides, have a gander. I really did think you were being sarcastic all this time, but hey... I'm never one to refuse another NPD meltdown!

I didn't do any list war - it was all on one sentence, that's no list!

Silly.

Right - even though Trauma Center SO was built from the ground up and has new scenarios, it's a DS port.

If 87% is losing their touch, Sony must have lost their touch, sight, hearing and taste.

Wii sports?

Ooh, you mean that collection of 5 mediocre mini-games posing as a full-game.

Probably the best game ever made. It might be the best system seller ever.

I've seen people play it for 5 minutes and go buy a Wii. It is that good.

...Trauma Center, Fire Emblem, Excite Truck, Rayman, madden.

At least two of those games are ports, and I think all of the non-Sony games are multi-console.

Yeah, Trauma Center was a port just like a ton of other games. This isn't really about Sony, this is about poor taste of gaming and dumbed down gameplay sold to the masses.

I don't mind selling some simple games, but dumbing down graphics, gameplay, control and the rest of the gaming industry is not what I wanted to see.

Next up, Hospital minigames!

You are stupid. In what way is Trauma Center a port?

EDIT: Fixed.

All I know is that I own a Wii, I really love the Virtual Console, the ability to check weather and news on the Wii, and I really like both Paper Mario and Zelda.

But the rest of the games are pretty crappy, even Madden 2007.

Pushing both the nunchuck and Wiimote forward to perform a "hit stick tackle" GTFOOH!

Ok, so Nintendo keeps kicking ass until christmas/early 2008 when their big names come out, then what happens? They stop selling because bad line-up sells better than good line-up?

There are better games on other systems...that is all it amounts to

NPD will eventually show this:D
Well, why don't you go and have a good long sleep, and we'll call you when that happens, OK? :lol

Have you ever actually sat down and read that thing? Technically, we're not even allowed to go to the bathroom.
Excellent use of a Simpsons quote... but aside from that, this thread turned to even more **** than I could possibly fathom, even for GAF. Back to Media-Create, I guess.

You appear to be in a not very noticeable minority.

Yes. Because if there is one thing you can say about Trauma Center SO, it's that the controls were dumbed down.

Here are the last 6th months of hardware sales as a revenue chart!

When you factor software as well Microsoft and Sony are really raking it in while Nintendo looks like's they've been left standing.
Sarcasm? I can't tell anymore. Anyways where is that weight chart?

planetkiller said:
This is the only game that matters and it is 7 months old and also on gamecube.
All the other games were either DS ports, Ports from other platforms or just garbage.

Check all the lowend ratings on almost any non-nintendo fansite to find out.
Well at least you admit you haven't even played the games you seem to hate with a passion.

I'm not supporting your random crazy statements man. Your off the charts. I'm not even sure if you have a point of view, you could just be demented.

C'mon, don't be mean. Sure, this thread is a trainwreck, but any more name-calling in here and we'll have degenerated into... well... last month's NPD thread :lol

Is Media-Create fun? I haven't even looked at it yet

Oh yes, PLEASE Mr. Water pistol, go have a look at them MediaCreater threads! Especially PantherLotus' charts... oh, and don't forget about PacMan! :D

You sound more like a Junior than me. The same game on a different platform. Not really many changes but may have slight changes.

Sounds like a port, maybe it might be a port.

I would rather play TC on a DS instead of a wii, but we know people are not buying a wii for TC or any other game.

The wii is not about quality games, it is about the wii controller and price.
