Seriously though, I too think the Wii has the best games out of the three current-gen consoles, but I'm well aware that I'm in the minority on GAF.
Anyway, boring month. Everything's so predictable now. A slight lol at the 360 numbers, because of MS's "sales doubled!!" PR comment.
Thats for this month not last...

Absolutely pathetic part deux
The Too Human sales are shit but really, I sort of expected worse. Will Microsoft allow them to finish the trilogy? I think Shenmue has a better chance of being finished after seeing these numbers.
I am suprised to see the 360 on top over the Ps3 for the month. I think the price cut will push a bunch of consoles this Christmas and dare I say it, there could be a chance that 360s could top the Wii for a month
Reading this thread just reminded me that I still need to buy WiiFit and Mario Kart.

only because of Wii supply constraints

:lol at people thinkin' Too Human's been abandoned by Microsoft.
They're porobably the only ones playing the game now, or at least that's what they're saying to Dyack when he decides to leave the closet
it's low, but possible, expecially considering that probably 90% of the people downloaded the demo just for curiosity. If the TH thread was to give any indication, these numbers were pretty expected

From the XBOX Price Drop thread:
Well, I was wrong. Good to see that the 360 failed to even get within arms reach of my sarcasm.

Whoa, get me some of what you are on cuz you are sky high! The Wii isn't closing a gap, it has surpassed ALL next gen systems in sales and continues to dominate not only NPD but nearly every sales chart in every territory by LARGE margins. Seriously, read before you write.

I think gamers have already accepted that. Sales fanatics, though... well, they have their priorities, we have ours. Right now i'm too busy deciding what to buy and what to trade for in October and November.
Cheez-It said:
Because when a single high profile 3rd party game doesn't sell great on Wii, we get 20 pages of posts saying "Wii owners don't buy games LOLZ"
Then these same posters ignore when other 3rd party games actually sell best on Wii.
Fascinating stuff

Yes, I wonder how Dennis's antics affected MS's support for the game. Seems like they have tried to keep TH at a safe distance. Sure they say they are still on board but that could only be to not hurt sales of the current game. Wavering now would only add the list of why people shouldn't buy the game.
Still I have a feeling we'll be seeing a number of "LTTP: Too Human isn't that bad threads" on NeoGaf once people get over all the BS.

Dude, its over for $ony. PS3 has no games and now it has no salez.
Typing that gave me a headache. That being said, Sales-age deserves to have some sort of Lombardi Trophy. We could add a pic of the console that "wins" every month to it like they do with names of winners of the Stanley cup. :lol

I have 3 games for my Wii, I find it very hard to justify buying any more when I prefer playing even average games on my 360. My fave Wii game is Galaxy but even that would not make my top 5 games of this gen.

But just what does it mean for Blu-ray?
No Means Nomad said:
Errr... not to derail the thread but who else is Blu Ray racing against? At this point it's only a matter of time.
The only thing I can think you're maybe talking about is that online HD distribution will reach the mass market before Blu Ray does. I suppose that is possible, but Blu Ray already seems to have a strong hold on the shelves of my local Best Buy. I might have a skewed view on the strength of online distribution though since I'm Canadian and a huge amount of the online options available in the USA are not available in Canada.

1) It's not that great
2) Dyack is a possible legal liability
3) SK eats money
4) Working with Dyack has soured the Epic-MGS relationship
5) Blame Canada

Thanks, so I take it only 360 and PS2 broke the million mark in the '08 (or did the PS3 and Wii have the legs to do that also)? In '09 we can expect 360, PS3 and PS2 to go Platinum, don't know about the Wii though....

can we officially declare the ps3 this gen's gamecube?
- hardware performance is less than that of the xbox competition, despite what screenshot "experts" claim
- has occasional minor sales spikes above the xbox competition but ultimately lags behind in sales overall
- uninspired first-party offerings, by and large
- confused marketing strategy
- has a legion of retardedly loyal nippon-phile fans obsessed with mascots and japanese franchises that are "supposed to be on [their] system!" and who whine and prognosticate endless
- has at least ONE standout manchild fanboy (see: kittonwy)
- IS IN THIRD PLACE LOL
get on the xboat and don that frat uniform!

Well OK. That's your view, but, really, in the eyes of gamers, the majority believe the HD consoles to have better games than the Wii.
I have like 10 Wii games. 3 are ports (Zelda, RE4, MK Wii). 2 are mini game collections(Wii Sports and Wii Play). 1 I played for no more than 2 hours (Wario Ware). 1 I haven't even touched yet (Zack and Wiki). Metroid Prime 3 is a good sequel. Only Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros are two truly great original games I own. Well SSBB is a sequel as well so. I would also include NMH but I need to buy that. Once I do, i will pretty much have all the best games on the Wii. Which accounts to like, 4.
Compared to my 360 collection, well since most of them are on the PS3 anyway, all those games are far better than the Wii selection. (Crackdown, GoW, DMC4, GTA4, TOB, NG2, MGS4, SC4, COD4)
I'm still missing loads I want.

why did i get banned, ye cruel mods? RAWR.
Maybe it wouldn't happen if Ninfans didn't put up the worst arguments possible. A game bombing and a game selling best on one console or another are not mutually exclusive concepts, yet boy howdy do I see giant posts trotting out the latter factoid as if it means anything, and then crying like babiez when companies don't give them the high-cost titles they think they're entitled to.schuelma said:

Since E3 they've been entirely about expanding the audience. Perhaps they see that this game was going to perform roughly the same irrespective of marketing budget with Dyack's hype machine. I'll be interested to see what they do with Banjo and Viva this year after the latter got lost last year.Y2Kev said:
