I just realized that this is the first time since the NES that I've been pulling for the winning team. I was a Genesis fanboy, but was burned by the 32X. I only owned about 4 Super Nintendo games. Starting with the N64, though, I've been with Nintendo the whole way and haven't been burned yet. I'm so used to pulling for the underdog, though, that it feels a bit odd. Somehow, I still feel the need to be a Nintendo apologist, but at least it doesn't feel like an uphill battle.

Sorry, :lol
Anyway, PS3 has lost any chance of outselling 360 in the US, and Europe isn't going to carry it to anywhere near a WW advantage over 360 once Halo 3 is out, 3rd place until 2008 at least.

Wow, the PSP is like a dead system, but it's not. When's the last time PSP had a game in the top 20? Are people just buying this thing to play MP3s?

We're used to Wii doing well, but we've not used to seeing it sell an average of 100K/week in the US past November and December. So it's surprising and impressive.test_account said:I wonder why people are suprised (?) hence the "wow @ wii numbers!" comments. If they shipped 1 million consoles in a month where maybe 1-2 Wii games get released, it would most likely still sell out(in USA atleast). Arent people still waiting in line to get one over there?
EDIT: On 2nd thought, maybe people say "wow @ wii numbers!" because they are impressed, not suprised. Then i understand it because its indeed very impressive
With our current NPD restrictions we're not supposed to provide numbers we can't back up with a link or something, but I can tell you Wii in the US has sold more than what PS2 had sold in the US through 9 months. However, PS2 had a huge November/December 2001, which should put Wii back behind unless they've been stockpiling more than anyone has imagined.sionyboy said:

Apparently a lot of people find the Wii fun. (that aren't just 'Nintendo faithful')
Apparently a lot of people find Wii Sports fun.(that aren't just 'Nintendo faithful')
TP is still a new release.
Paper Mario is still a new release.
You know those games that have been around a while, or are GC games put on the Wii? Guess who didn't play them on the GC and probably doesn't even have a GC, so they'd be buying them now? (I'll give you a hint: that answer doesn't start with 'Nintendo' and end with 'faithful'.
)I'll give you WiiPlay but hey - cheaper controller.
You can't also call games that are highly reviewed (such as TP and PM) or games that are big hitters aka The Big 3 'shovelware'. It doesn't work that way.
Face it, man. Lots of people want the Wii (and by default games for it) and they aren't just people who bought Gamecubes. THAT'S also a big reason the software is even selling at all.

Wasnt saying RE4 was made by Nintendo. The difference between RE4 Wii and Halo 3 is that RE4 is just a GC game with updated controls. Halo 3 is nowhere close to Halo 2 with better graphics. As beautiful as Halo 3 looks that is just a minor part of why Halo 3 is going to be something else. RE4 is the nearly the exact same game.

Won't stop picking the right nation
Who's celebrating Wii Play? It's bought because it's essentially a $10 budget title, and most people see it as such. People don't get riled up because they find it understandable. Mario Party 8 is much more dividing. The only ones who are celebrating that are the ones who like it, so they have a right to celebrate it. Nintendo fans who hate the game don't cheer for it. They are just as perplexed becuase of its success as anyone else. I don't think people make the disctinction between that and Red Steel or Rayman, a few other very ambivalent titles.KeithFranklin said:
I don't see the point in listing Paper Mario or Zelda. Paper Mario could only be bought on the Wii, and Zelda was essentially positioned for the Wii. No one really thinks of it as a GC title first and foremost anymore. I mean you touched on what the Wii basically is: GC+ graphics with new controls. It's not difficult to understand that that's where the appeal lies.
Metroid Prime 3 has no chance of reaching far into the casual market since it's not a casual game, but are you sure Mario and SSB have no chance? Mario traditionally sells over ten million copies because of the casual fan. All but Sunshine did that much, and Sunshine saw a dip in and of itself because it could only sell to the Nintendo gamer. A lot of casuals and lapsed gamers used to play Mario. Nintendo could totally bring them back the way they've positioned the Wii.

Is this true? Will there be a massive upswing in Wii 3rd party support for the Wii? I admit that I have not closely followed Wii software sales but is there a history of multi-platform 3rd party Wii games outselling the same games on the 360 and PS3? Does GAf predict that 3rd party support for the 360 and PS3 will drop now that the Wii is moving good amount of hardware?

Ok to clarify the shovelware comments applied to MP8 and WiiPlay.
Are new releases simply all that is needed to celebrate good sales? If MS or Sony put some crappy title along with a controller and called the package the name of the game and get free controller do any of you believe that it was the game that caused the sale? If MS took Halo added XBOX Live play to it and sold it would that be something to truly get excited about when it had great sales?
As for sales sure a great deal of the sales were to Nintendo faithful. Nintendo deliberatly released TP on the Wii first to force Nintendo Zelda addicts to try and get a Wii to be able to play it. Metroid Prime 3 sales will be high simply because of Nintendo faithful, same with Mario and Smash Brothers. Nintendo doesnt need the non Nintendo faithful for these titles to sell great.
I've been suggesting/predicting that this would occur for months now.DarkMage619 said:
The days of 360/PS3 are nearly f*cking over thanks to the Wii...but there is still SOME hope. As someone noted, all 360 titles in the top 20 are 3rd party games and there are a LOT of 360 games being released this fall. Provided the 360 software actually sells well this fall, the amount of investment already placed into the hardware should keep 3rd parties producing software for it.
The PS3 is already dead, but it may hang around for a bit simply because software can be ported over from 360 for an extra buck (with the PC also helping out here).
The best Wii games being released this fall are Nintendo published titles. If 360 software can light up the charts while most of the Wii software selling is limited to 1st party Nintendo games (with minimal 3rd party sales), things may just be alright. The Wii will continue to sell and 3rd parties will continue to offer more and more support...but the 360 might hang on.
I love throwing out extremes with people claiming I'm over-reacting but it seems that my doom and gloom may have been right.

So Super Paper Mario changed systems when in development. Happens to a bunch of games, but its not used as a negative point on those.

Mario Party games are shovelware now? To quote Dragona from the Media Create thread:KeithFranklin said:
Dragona Akehi said:
I've always shared Dragona's stance on the games. Sure it's the 8th game in the series, but it's the first game for the Wii. I've bought 2 MP games, but only one each per console (N64, GC).

all the kinds of games you love are going to sell just great this winter. people that make those kind of games will have no reason for concern.dark10x said:
i pinky swear.
Eh, it wasn't smart to compare Halo 3 and RE4: Wii Edition in the first place (to the guy that quoted you).KeithFranklin said:
Anyways, I find it surprising that you would doubt the sales of Nintendo's big 3 when even RE4:Wii is selling quite well, and will definitely breeze past Capcom's expected worldwide sales if it hasn't already. Also, in North America, Twilight Princess sold great as well. Obviously there is a market for Nintendo's big first party titles and hardcore third-party games on Wii, no matter how you look at the demographic. Be it new gamers, 'Nintendo faithful' or *gasp* the normal everyday people who buy video game systems but aren't on NeoGAF and can't be categorized and generalized!
DarkMage619 said:
It has varied from game to game. Madden and Spiderman 3 sold better on 360/PS3. The Wii version of Harry Potter stomped on all of the other versions. Transformers has sold relative to the userbases (PS2, 360, Wii, PS3). Many other games like TMNT, Ratatouille, Godfather (PS3/Wii), Surf's Up, Meet the Robinsons, and Fantastic Four haven't charted anywhere so it's difficult to tell.
A big, big factor is perception. If people perceive that the Wii version is the one to get or the best version, people will get it.
With the way things have been going lately, I really have to wonder.plagiarize said:
I must admit, however, that I was beyond pleased by the reception of Bioshock. You know how much I enjoyed their previous work AND love that particular segment of the FPS genre. The fact that one of those games is finally looking to have both commercial and critical success on a large scale is incredibly exciting.
This fall is what it all comes down to and I'm going to spend quite a bit supporting the efforts of these developers.

Uncharted. Ratchet and Clank. Those should be a lot safer bets than LAIR and Heavenly Swords.dextran said:

i think it's also a segment of the FPS genre that hasn't had a break out hit before... so it's doubly good in how likely it makes for it to grow.
KeithFranklin said:
As mentioned above you keep harping on WiiPlay but most people are well aware of what that situation is. Not many folks 'celebrate' that I don't think.
Other than that, I'm not sure what you are asking here. Are you just talking about Sales Age reactions? Surely you recognize a small portion of the gaming population that represents?
Not too mention that, as I pointed out, a lot of those new releases are still highly rated. They are good games and yes, people tend to look for that.
Beyond that, the rest is common sense. If you want a system to have a good future, and better and better games, you want it to do well early to attract the developers. And you want it to show the publishers that they can make money on it somehow. That's the whole point. Pretty self explanatory.
Ok, I guess you are still kind of sticking with this. It's close to over, man. The 'only the Nintendo fans are buying the Wii!' boat has almost sailed IMO. It's time to embrace the idea that the Wii is just actually popular.

That argument's never going to go away until the Wii passes the GC's LTD sales.Vyer said:
Then again, someone may bring up the difference between N64 and GC sales stating there's still a bunch of Nintendo fans out there that never picked up a GC and are now getting a Wii...

This argument is very tired and needs to be put to bed.
I'm one of many people on this board that purchased TP in early November to play on Wii and then couldn't find one. I had the damn game and accessories for four months before I was able to get one. If you and others still believe that it's Nintendo Fandom that's driving Wii sales then you're severely deluded.

The other side of that coin is that third parties will continue to saturate the 360 market while Nintendo gobbles up the overall software sales across all region as the Wii continues to gobble up marketshare, even surpassing both HD consoles combined by a considerable margin. The 360 is safe for now but it can only support so much and I think we're seeing the peak of this capacity this holiday into the next year.

Super Paper Mario changed systems yet, but Super Paper Mario didnt get upgraded massivly like you would expect going from one generation to the next like you would expect from a tier 1 title.
My soon to be Dreamcasted PS3 arrives from FedEx in an hour. :lol Seriously, PS3's pricetag pretty much doomed it from the announcement. Meh, so long as I get my GT5, I'm fine. It's definitely laughable though.
OTOH, Nintendo is just killing it. I always wondered what they could do if they had Playstation-level sales with their crazy profit model. Fuckers really are printing money. Wow! Fucking Nintendo. PEACE.

You just proved my point when it comes to the traditional Nintendo titles. The Nintendo fandom will insure those titles sell great. You dont need the new customers to make those titles sell great. Also the great sales of these titles doesnt mean that Wii sales will go through the roof (any more than they already are).
The problem with banning gifs is that they're just people's way of expressing their joy or shock, etc. The first couple pages are still mostly covered in "WOW", = and ... but at least the gifs are entertaining. I could understand limiting the size of each gif, but I'd rather the gifs stay and the "OMGOMGOMGOGMOGMGMMMMMMMoo!!!!!!!1" are banned.
A lot of the emotions are based around the PS3 not outselling the 360 ... but would an extra 12k really have made a difference? The reality of the PS3's situation wouldn't have changed if it had outsold the 360. It would have been a notch on a fanboy's belt and nothing else. Nobody expected it to last more than one month ... not even spwolf ... and the system outperformed most of our expectations. If it's dead ... fine, but this NPD doesn't really prove that.
Sony's problem right now isn't outselling the 360. It's making the PS3 look like a viable platform to developers and gamers. They've doubled sales and, judging by the Gamestop conference call, sales are stabilizing at that higher rate. That should be very encouraging.
Then there's the 360... All of this celebration is over not being last. There is a marginal sales difference between it and PS3, yet one is "dead" and the other is "amazing." It doesn't make logical sense. The 360's software sale are better, but there not any better than the PS2's or Wii's ... so we're back to celebrating over not being last. It's silly... fun, but silly.

I think you'll find very few people on this forum bragging about Wii Play. We all understand that the game is a $10 tech demo for the controller. It was never meant to be any more. If you've played it, you'd know that it's actually structured to show all of the remote's functions to people who don't understand what's going on. It's hardly shovelware, as it does exactly what it was designed to do, with a couple of fun games to boot.
The distinction, as far as what's causing the sale, is that the people who are buying Wii Play could just as easily buy a solo controller. This wasn't the case the month it released, but it's absolutely interesting to see the staying power it has on these charts. In the eyes of the public, it is apparently worth it to pay an extra $10 dollars to get a cheap-o game with an already expensive controller. As for the quality of Wii Play, I'm not going to argue it's an incredible game, but to say it's not worth the price over the standard controller is just as disingenuous. I think it has like nine mini-games on it, and most people would site one or two of them (probably tanks) as being worth the price.
I could try to compare it to the games bundled with an Eyetoy, suggesting that perhaps people are more interested in the camera than the game. Or I could cut a different route and cry afoul with baseless assertions that most people bought Crackdown for a Halo Beta. In the end, it really doesn't matter. The fact is that consumers are making the choice to purchase these bundles for one component or another. If folks were really buying Crackdowm for the Halo Beta, then MS could've sold the Beta alone for the same price. If folks really didn't want to buy Wii Play, they'd have bought a Wii Remote on its own. The only people who care about these sales, aside from the companies making money from the, are the people who see it as a strike against them on sales charts. To everyone else who's actually buying the products, it's probably seen as a value
Fun with release dates!
OK, seeing the top ten per hardware data from sonycowboy gave me an idea. Each title is listed with the date (month and year) of its release, which allows us to analyze how long the top ten titles for each system have been on the market. I've compiled the data and arrived at the following:
What I've done is calculated how long each title in each top ten list has been on the market (as of August 4, 2007) and then found the average age, or shelf-life, of the top selling games for each system. For instance, the Wii has 7 games released in the past three months and three others that were released months before that, but on average those top ten Wii games have been around for about three and a half months. I've listed an "Avg. Release Date" just as a guide to the kind of timespans we're dealing with.
Since this is a snapshot of just the top ten games for each platform (and the NPD Top 20) we aren't getting a view of the entire profile of games sold in July. We are, however, seeing how often new games (which I will roughly categorize as "released in the last 3 months") and old games (everything else). Top ten/twenty lists are composed of a stream of hot new games constantly popping up near the top of sales charts as they are released, muscling out old games and each other, while simultaneously a small number of certain older games, the so-called AAA sales champions, struggle to push back up into the rankings.
Everyone here should know that the software market is cyclical and the cycle is dominated by the holiday sales season stretching from October through mid-December. July is at the bottom of the cycle and follows typical drought months. We might expect the big AAA titles from last December to still be making a showing, and they do: On the home console side that games from last Holiday season have been marginalized in the top tens, but a handful are still there.
Looking first at the NPD Top 20 we see that the late spring/summer software releases have been dominating, which may be a bit surprising considering the traditionally sparse release schedule. The overall Top 20 also has a faster turnaround than any of the individual top ten lists, though PS3 comes very close. In fact, all four of the major home consoles have a rather short shelf life, averaging less than 4 months, meaning publishers could expect their high-profile games to peak early and sink fairly rapidly. The real standout is the PS2: Here is a platform which is over seven years old with a VAST back-catalog of some of the best games ever made in a dozen different genres, yet the development environment is still vibrant enough that consumers feel compelled to buy new titles over old (of course there will be many older PS2 titles further down the list but we're limited to the bestsellers here). PS2 game development is still viable.
What's not viable is the GBA, which shows all the signs of a dead system. The average release date is nearly three years old! The oldest game in the top ten this month was released in June 2001. These are being purchased by bargain hunters or new gamers (probably children) who are just now buying a GBA or finding themselves in the market for very old games. Here's a chart showing the age of the oldest game in each list:
Let's look at the contrasting situation of the DS and the PSP. The PSP is in trouble while the DS is not, though the shelf-life of their software doesn't look all that different. This is perhaps the one way that DS and PSP are very similar; both see sales patterns that emphasize the back catalog (compare that to the home console market where new games dominate). The DS has an average game shelf-life of 8.3 months and is evidently experiencing a drought in new game sales right now, which is easily explained by looking at the sparse release list, but our alarm over that fact should be balanced by recognizing the strength of the DS back catalog. Consumers who are still interesting in exploring that catalog are being well served while consumers looking for new content may be frustrated.
PSP's situation is worse. The average shelf-life is 12.9 months, or over a year. The system is pushing old games, but looking at the list of games actually listed in its top ten and comparing it to the overall top twenty we see that even those are pretty slow. Either very few new games are being released or the ones that are released struggle to outsell the likes of a 20-month-old game like Star Wars: Battlefront II, which is troubling. Here's a chart showing the number of new titles, defined as released in the three months prior to August 4, in each top ten list:
PSP new titles sales aren't dead but I would categorize them as dormant. DS is likewise underperforming, but the expectations are higher (new games are being compared to DS's multi-platinum star performers). All the home consoles are doing very well at pushing new games, including the incredible PS2. And the GBA is dead.

Christ, this has taken a while to catch up to where I left off.
So, does anyone have any guesses as to when Wii will go from a plurality to a majority, both stateside and worldwide? I'm guessing approximantely 6 months.
Take your complaints to Sony. According to them, they should have been able to sell 5 million without software.
