Was that Mario Kart's second month?
I think they kinda suck. Ok, sure, that's a higher % of the PS3 install base buying GTA4 than the 360 base because the PS3 has sold a hell of a lot less. No matter how the sfux wanna spin it PS3 is still playing catch up, at least in the North American market.Also laffo @ GTA4 PS3 sales.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THEY'RE ACTUALLY QUITE IMPRESSIVE
crushed was jokingI know. :-*
was mario kart that strong last gen? or is it because of the wii or the included wheel?
What a garbage group of games :-X :-X :-X
:owas mario kart that strong last gen? or is it because of the wii or the included wheel?
MK: DD was at like 5 million. Good, but not that popular. MK: Wii will easily pass it.
was mario kart that strong last gen? or is it because of the wii or the included wheel?Super Mario Kart: 8 million copies WW
how many times more expensive was GTAIV's budget than Mario Kart Wii?

Remember, this is all that Nfags have; sales. They have nothing else. That platform has the worst line-up I've ever seen, and will continue to do so. Enjoy masturbating to your monthly NPD numbers, you fucking feggits.Is it really worse than the GC or N64 lineups were? :lol

Its 10x better than the PS3 lineup. It makes a great addition next to my Xbox. So yeah i get games and i get the awesome sales.
This means Dragon Quest X won't be coming out on the PS3 :'(
First DQIX on the DS and now this. I love the DS, but a man can only take so much :gloomy

There's one good game on Wii. Two I guess, if you're into crappy remakes like Zelda TP. Some line-up. I've never despised a system I've owned quite the way I despise this, this Wai-thing.fire emblem is pretty good if you are into it.
Nintendo's #1 in my :heartbeat, but the Wii just isn't doing it for me. After filling up my system with VC titles nearly a year ago I haven't touched it since. But it has more than 1 or 2 good games ::)

Duckman, you liked PS3 R&C but not Super Mario Galaxy?
Even a graphics whore like me can see that SMG is the far better game.
Why do you get upset about people enjoying something? Quit being a little bitch. The Wii's lineup is in a sad state of affairs, but there are many fun games for it and several others that you can at least understand the casual appeal for. Whether you like casual gaming or not, they seem to be doing something well.

Excite Truck
Boom Blox
No More Heroes
Super Mario Galaxy
Twilight Princess
Fire Emblem
Zack & Wiki
Metroid Prime 3
Smash Bros. Brawl
Looks like more than two to me.

“Leading into a pivotal season packed with blockbuster titles and unique online service offerings, consumers have chosen the PS3 as their home entertainment console of choice - showcased by its year-over-year sales growth of 155 percent. With its commanding line up of software titles and enhanced movie playback capabilities, the PS3 has seen phenomenal momentum with a software sales increase of more than 234 percent and additional studio support of delivering content in the Blu-ray format. The dual platform release of the much anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV title reaffirmed its legacy on the PlayStation platform with a 6 percent higher attach rate than Xbox 360, reinforcing consumer choice of PS3. Poised for continued momentum, PS3 is delivering on its breadth and depth of exclusive titles to its gaming fans with today's prized exclusive title launch of Metal Gear Solid 4. The media have hailed 2008 as the year of the PS3, and with solid sales and growth opportunities ahead, we feel consumers are saying the same.”
- Jack Tretton, president and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America
"The continued success of GTA IV is not translating into big hardware sales for either the PS3 or the 360 but there may yet to be a lift in June due to gift-giving for Father's Day and Graduations."

Looks like zero to me.
Your doomsday scenario isn't gonna happen, man. Software for the 360 is selling very impressively, and no single company can stop the progression of technology. If you don't like what Nintendo's doing there are plenty of other options. It'd make more sense to focus your anger towards MS and Sony for botching this generation than getting in a hissy fit over Nintendo.
The whole point is that I don't have other options, because I let this thing into my house. Instead of showing off some cool racing game to the family and thereby managing to sneak in some game time into family functions (or at least having something nice to look at), I'm instead showing off fucking WiiSports. Which they love, so the game time is suddenly theirs. And instead of spending late hours calling in airstrikes and whispering "duck-a-duck" into the microphone before sending in an attack helicopter, I'm busy becoming irritated over random mini-games in Mario Party.

Game Party is that shitty mini game collection by Midway. Has like darts and shit like that.
Good for Midway they needed some sales after how everything else on their catalog has sold like shit including the 30 million dollar bomba Stranglehold
QuoteCranking up 'the Nintendo' for parties in previous generations meant stuff like Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Mario Party. And all those games are shit.
and Mario Tennis (the N64 version) - which was good
and Mario Golf wasn't bad either
Smash Bros - i just don't get it.
Mario Party - like testicles across a cheese grater.

Speaking of which, is there a Mario Golf on the horizon?
Camelot made Wii Love golf instead.

Oh yeah, and for anyone who thinks I'm being a selfish prick, keep in mind that prior to the Wii entering the picture, playing video games was generally discouraged during these family functions. Not because people weren't having fun playing games; the other dudes and the kids in the family all had a blast with everything from Halo to MotorStorm. No, it was because the old farts of the family didn't "get" it, so in the interest of keeping the old crew content, it was all about the sitting around and talking, and playing shitty board games. Not these days, though.
So there. :violin

Gaming ended being for the nerdcore the moment FF7 was released prole sad to say. Blame Square for the movement towards mainstream.
who cares about any of this, 360 has tons of jrpgs heading its way, im stoked
what nfags say that sales are more important than games? Sounds more like a strawman for insecure Xtards ::)
Oh shit, I need to learn how to read. Thank you admiral, and I apologize Pilonv. I am ashamed of myself.Shovelware goes to the victor. Didn't the PS2 have the simple 2000 and phoenix games stuff?
But I don't think it's a bad argument. Sales are improving for the Wii's software...it'd just be nice if the nintendo seal of quality meant anything. Game Party? ::)

How do you have the decided advantage in AAA games and still come in last place?! That's unprecedented.

Nobody cares about MGS4 imo. Its not in GTAs level and GTA didnt do squat. Theres also talk that theres only 200k of the 80 gig bundles.
I don't get you people.
PC + Wii is the best combo this gen.
You play all multiplatform titles in superb quality AND you get to play Metroid, Zelda and Mario games.
Plus, if you are into jRPGs then you have to get 360.
lol @ MGS 4 will move hardware.
When i picked up GTA4, there was a 20 minute wait worth of people picking it up, a lot of the with consoles.
I went to get MGS, and I got the LE without even pre-ordering the LE.
Sorry man, the dream is over.
Will next gen finally launch fo real with MGS4?

No, PCthree is where it's at. Unfortunately, the Wii is going to stick around in the household due to its popularity and casual appeal.

As a PC gamer, I don't get why you'd find tons of appeal in the kind of designs that flourish on the PC and then be able to turn around and enjoy the kind of stuff on the Wii. Unless all you play on the PC are casual games and console ports, I suppose. They appeal to totally different sorts of gamers, you aren't going to find a huge overlap between people who play WoW for hours on end or hardcore strategy games and people who play Wii Play and Wii Sports for fun.
PS3+PC should make the most sense but oh god in heaven does the PS3 library suck total donkey.

Boom Blox got lost behind the flood of huge games within the past couple of months and it certainly didn't help that EA did virtually nothing to promote it.

What huge games? You did read the part where 671k people bought a Wii this month alone? There's a lot of people with just a Wii out there.
See, this is what happens. Couple goes to store, decides to buy Wii because hey, the couple that they admire bought one. Dude checks out games to buy with the system, the chick notices this and says "oh it already comes with a game, so you can put those back," which the dude probably does because he's lame. They realize that they need more than one controller to be like those other Wii couples, so they also get WiiPlay. And that's it. Perhaps the odd game is bought from time to time, but generally, that Wii is a WiiSports player. And as the dude loses interest, it's up to the chick to buy the games. And women don't buy games. They may have games bought for them, but they do not buy games on their own.
Guitar Hero is the exception, but that's also one of those couple things, and a hold-over from the PS2 era.
I'm sure Boom Blox is very good, but it should be half the price.
Remember when CoD4 and AC got lost on the 360 because of all the other huge games that came out for the system.
o wait
:bow 360 owners :bow2
quit being poor wii owners
Carnival Games had shit advertisement and sold a million copies thanks to the low price.

LOL - I love the jaded "real gamers" crying about the Wii. Good times. They basically shoved a red shell up your ass. :lol
Lets see they could have did this:
- Spent a few hundred million to make a system as powerful as PS3 and 360, then people would have bitched about the online system.
- Spend a few ten million setting up an XBox Live style online infrastructure for all the games. Then people would bitch about the controller.
- Make a controller exactly the same as 360 and PS3 along with the current controller and come with every system. People would bitch there isn't enough matchur exclusives.
- Spend a few ten million getting matchur exclusives, then people would bitch their first party games are too cartoony, the system isn't aethestically pleasing, it doesn't have a cool enough name, etc, etc and not buy one anyway.
So they basically just said, fuck you, took a gamecube, upgraded it just a little bit, added a weird motion controller and threw out some random mainstream junk along with their traditional games and are rolling in the money. :lol
I guess its quite traumatic to those geek gamers ... "Bu bu bu bubu shooting stuff is cool! space marines! futuristic badasses!! yea!!"
No bitch, looks like lore people care about moving a cartoony tennis racket around with a controller or doing yoga on a mat hooked to a TV than the 400th space alien/war shooter. Owned. This is comedy. :lol

I can't speak for PSP but the DS software has really slowed in the last year. There are still a number of good titles like Professor Layton and EO2 but for the most part far fewer quality games than 2005/2006.

FF12 was basically going for the oblivion look, boring copy pasta huge world.
I agree there. But when it comes to stuff like FFXII all I see are shitty copy pasta environments which are flat out boring.
No jrpg has ever topped the art design of FFVII-X for me, and the pre rendered bgs are a part of the reason for that.

I agree with you on that. I played a lot of JRPGs during the SNES and PSX days and I really loved them, but after that I've really cooled off to genre. Oh, I still play some of them now and again, yet I can't help but feel that a certain charm is missing that used to be there and I'm not nearly as excited about the genre as I was back then. I don't know if it's the change from largely prerendered backgrounds or just a lack of newness or what.
By the way, download the widescreen patch for Planescape: Torment and crank it up to high resolution. Looks absolutely amazing [it's NINE years old!!] and every location is just so full of life and detail, certainly doesn't hurt that the writing is second to none in the videogame world.
