I'd still like to know why the Wii is considered current-gen?
It's a GameCube (last generations whipping boy) console re-packaged with a new (and not even accurate) controller.
I know a few people that own one (casual and hardcore, me included) but I don't know anyone that plays it anymore.
P.S. Anyone that thinks my dig at the controller is unjustified please explain why Nintendo are having to bring out the Wii Motion Plus when you flame ;-)
P.P.S. I'd really like to like the Wii but it's visually painful on anything but a portable TV (Could nintendo not have spend an extra $5 on a slightly better graphics chipset) and the novelty games have no life. Oh well at least it has a truly integrated and vibrant online community, gotta love Wii Vote.
@Xebu: Wii games are "Visually painful"? Holy smokes, how much of a graphics whore does someone have to be to say something like that? Someone give it to me on a scale of 1 to 10.
Seriously you guys need to change things up at Kotaku with these NPD response reports.
Seems pleased!?! THEY MOVED 800,000 FREAKIN UNITS IN A MONTH! (long after the "hype" of its launch.) The title should read "Nintendo MOTHA-$%*@IN' Happy over NPD sales"
Do any of these companies ever claim they're unhappy anyway? Even when we all know they are they just spin some numbers around and try to stay positive so stupid investors can keep on buying.
Nintendo's success is becoming obscene. Someone needs to tell her to cover up before going outside wearing such revealing "success". I'm blushing for goodness sakes!
Nintendo's so well endowed that it makes all the other girls blessings seem underdeveloped.
...gawd I hope Nintendo has a heavy period next month! I hate here so much! *lisp on* She's such a bitch *lisp off*
-Wii Fit still hasn't cracked 3 million in sales and it's been out for a good amount of time. Supply is tight, but not that tight.
-Low Wii Fit adoption means Balance Board will likely never be fully adopted by developers.
-Even causal gamers are filling up the VC memory by now, more space is needed right away, right now.
-The 'dry spell' right before the holidays is not a good thing.
-The DSi is going to drive down DS sales this hoilday season, should have waited a whole other year.
-With all the new Wii owners, where's that "Help someone get their Wii online, get 2000 Wii Points" program Nintendo? Every Wii loaded with a Nintendo channel is a Wii that's calling home and giving you priceless marketing infomation.
-Nintendo Channel is not being pushed like it should, nor are users of it being really given reasons to make use of the rating systems. After you rate say..10 games, you should get some Wii Points or something.
-VC needs more Japanese releases ported stateside. I know you are wary of games that might have devils or smoking in them Nintendo, but there's a lot of lost classics.
-Earthbound 3, why do you not like money? I know it's rather dark compared to the first 2, but if you sit on it too long, no one will care. Just bring all three over as a VC bundle or release them on a all in one Wii super disk with interviews with the programers, facts, music tracks..
