Wii In Trouble? February 18, 2007

Filed under: News, Rants/Opinions, Rumors — Vinnitintin249 @ 9:43 pm

attack of the showI was watching Attack Of the Show on G4 a couple of days back, and on their debate section “The Loop” They question whether Nintendo were in Trouble agian.

Of course I was quick to jump to the conclusion that they weren’t , but if you think about it… they really could be.

I mean look at these damaging factors:

- Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 Possible Delayed till X-mas
- 3rd party aren’t bringing out so many games

And with statements now that the Wii has the power to procude Hi-Def graphics, except it would cost more, it really makes you think hard about the somewhat “Life-Time” invest you put money into.

    ok nintendo is not in trouble, wow two games are set late into the year(which is only a rumor that the idiots from attack of the show exagerated on) and there are so many 3rd partys saying that the wii will be a gold mine, over the ps3 especialy because it is alot more work to make a game for ps3 than wii. companies have to update all of there systems to be able to make a ps3 game. attack of the show is stupid and wrong, EA just said they want to be nintendos # 3

    Nintendo has far more momentum than they've had since the N64 with its DS and Wii systems. It would be foolish for any 3rd party to notice this and not get on the bandwagon. HD potential isn't a legitmate factor in the race yet and probably won't be for another 2 to 3 years. This is why Sony is hurting because they've overestimated the market. All gamers are concerned with is fun and content and so far Nintendo has offered that in probably its slowest time, the calm after launch. Of course we should all be concerned because we've put our hard earned dollars in the hopes that we wouldn't be disappointed and thus far I'd say the majority of people haven't been.

    Stop listening to these haters until the race really starts heating up. In the age of Sony the fanboy always thinks he's got his finger on the pulse of gamers but they have an obvious bias. Have they commented on any of the success of the Wii or is that always lead with speculation? Have they commented on the shortcomings of the PS3 launch or do they shy away giving examples of games that have yet to hit? This mudslinging in the PS favor has been held ever since Nintendo lost its 3rd party support in the first place. The most credible source to me is the developers, the people actually making games. Use them to guage the future of the system

    The Wii is transitioning into a third-party beast. When it first came out, third parties said, "Well, let's wait a bit. We know how bad the gamecube was for us." Now they see the Wii is strong and are jumping on board. EA is a prime example of this, as they have admitted their mistake, though it was an understandable move to "wait and see" in my opinion.

    Also, Lifetime investment? Houses and some cars are lifetime investments, not video game consoles. New writers please.

    It's also not a lifetime investment. For anyone over the age of 23, they know that $250 isn't a huge investment.

    Wii games look great on my HDTV. Many gamers [and previous nongamers] don`t need 1080p. I just got Samba de Amigo out again, and it still rocks despite lores graphics. So will a lot of Wii games in 10 years time. Since the Wii is also quite cheap I'm not worried by the 'life time' invest at all, which I would be with a PS3. Suppose there'll be a Wii Advance soon anyhow, as with DS and GBA.
  • Floating World
    Yeah I just don't agree with any of these points. SMG being pushed back til Christmas is a great move by Nintendo. That's exactly what Microsoft did with Gears of War and it proved huge for the 360. There is also tons of 3rd party support jumping on board now that the Wii is selling incredibly well.

    Don't fret. =)
  • i agree with gse. its still real early to say the best selling console of the holiday season is in trouble.

    Plus, your using G4 tv as a credible source? nuff said.
  • gamestop employee
    well, mario and metroid never had official release dates so they really can't be considered "pushed back" and the third party support is actually much higher than the ps3, just many of the titles are unannounced at this point
