Sony says: "Wii is just a novelty!"
« on: December 13, 2006, 04:35:02 PM »

The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) has an article out that indirectly outlines Nintendo's comeback into the gaming world. Accordingly, U.S. retailers estimate that nearly 1.5 million Wiis will be sold before Christmas, about twice as many as the PS3. Nintendo explains that "Demand, as you can see from the reaction of consumers, has been greater than even we had hoped for."

Sony's response? "We feel very confident that the PlayStation fan is going to wait until they can get a PlayStation 3...If they do pick up a Wii, it's as more of a novelty," says Sony spokesman Dave Karraker.

I'm sure it was in the context of making some "ironic" non-point, though.  I am glad he has found joy in flailing his arms around like an ass in front of a television displaying visuals that would have been impressive a half decade ago.

I wouldnt be as bothered by idiots waving their arms in front of tvs if it actually mattered to the games they played, but it IN MOST CASES does not, which leads me to believe the Wii just releases the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows within.

Ahh selected reasoning. You know MOST PS3 launch games didnt have better graphics than the  previous gens.

huh?

two different markets.

two different demos.

it was an able try, albeit a predictable one.

in the handheld market, nintendo has maintained a quasi-monopoly, one that, while threatened by the psp, still stands.

in the console market, since the debut of the n64, nintendo's mindshare has diminished considerably.

that the wii has sold out MEANS JACK SHIT.

it sold out, by and large, to the same people who picked up a cube and defended it until one release per year was actually the norm.

that's the type of fanaticism we're dealing with, and it applies to the wii.

you honestly think the same people who purchased a ps2 and xbox, the casual gamers who comprise the majority of this market, are going to stand by and remain content when they see outdated sub-xbox garbage 2 years into the wii's lifespan?

it's not going to happen, no matter how eager you sad shits are to see it occur.

once the true next-gen software matures, with developers harnessing the beasts housed under their hoods, the wii will be what it has ALWAYS been -- an outdated piece of shit with a cool wand that grows old really fucking quick.

likening the wii to the ds screams of desperation.

Yes it is safe to say. The Wii is exactly what Nintendo promised it would be, and they have done everything which they said they would do. People need to stop hating on the Wii. The Wii mote is a great piece of hardware, once some decent FPS's come out for it the Wii is going to kick ass, while the launch titles are choppy they have proven that Wii controls work brilliantly with this type of game.

duh.

two different dynamics.

two different gaming populations.

in two years -- perhaps less time -- the wii will still have outdated visuals while the ps3 and 360 storm ahead with true next-gen visuals that draw the attention of those looking to part ways with their hard earned cash for a new system.

no, the wii mote will not be enough of a draw to pull their eyes away from mgs4, halo 3, ffxiii, white knight, etc.

it's not going to happen.

I guess time will tell. 

But to say that the DS and the Wii have nothing in common is ridiculous. Both machines debuted against stringer powered competitors. Both have new control styles for gameplay. Both are nintendo. And both are currently making Japan their bitch.


All Nitendo needs it Wii Nintendogs and no one will even notice how many copies of MGS4 sells.

right on, futami.

Waggle just can't appeal to the entire PS3 and 360 audience. Anyone who thinks Nintendo will have the #1 console this gen is slightly distinguished mentally-challenged. DS will no doubt dominate the handheld market (well, it already is). But of course, everyone says there's no difference between handhelds and consoles. Just because handhelds are becoming more popular doesn't mean handhelds = consoles. ::)

If Japan wants to leave consoles behind, that's their problem. The console market as a whole has grown too large to just be held back by Japan. And I'd imagine Japanese devs will eventually lose sales if they do not pay attention to the fact that, hey, PS3 still has FF13 and a lot of gamers will be buying one for it and other RPG's.

NEWSFLASH: DRAGON QUEST IS NOT THE ONLY RPG

Enjoy your broken "DQ" that's more like Diablo for lazy japatards on a tiny screen with graphics from two generations ago. Some of us are looking forward to next-gen.

I sense sarcasm. The n64 was a fun console. It started off strong with Mario, Mario Kart, Goldeneye and ended great with Smash brothers, rogue squadren and conker. AAA titles all the time. In fact there was probably more AAA titles on the 64 than PS1.

there's just no point.

the same arguments were bandied by the same people when the gamecube launched.

by 2007 xmas, when we really see what the ps3 and 360 are made of, the wii will be a bad joke.

nintendo thinks they can repackage the cube, stick a glorified eye toy on it, and sell it to same dumb fucks who bought the last console they shoveled.

well, yeah, but the rest of us, those who constitute the majority, aren't going to fall for their scam.

nintendo displays contempt for the intelligence of the gaming community.

Yea, I don't recall that. Perhaps I've got a faulty memory, but I had no problem at all getting one at launch, and there were GameCubes aplenty around.

bullshit.

cube sold at the same rate, bought in the same frenzied rush, as the wii is now.

that's reality, cock-nibbler.

once the novelty of holding that wand wears off, and people settle back to the reality of true next-gen games, they'll notice the substandard graphics and physics that'll appear laughable next to the upcoming crop of ps3 and xbox360 games (moreso the ps3, imo).

this is a fact.

we're visual creatures, exacting a visceral rush from the once unimaginable beauty now realized by these next-gen systems.

the wii, with its antiquated graphics, simply can't endure the long haul.

why is this so surprising?

Oh you PS3/Xbox fans reach so hard. Just wait till 2 years from now, after Wii nitendogs, Smash,  DQ10 and Mario galaxy. Then Nintendo will have Sony and Microsoft gagged and stuffed with 12inch black dildos in every hole while Nintendo fuckes it them till they're numb.

Sony is only "batting third" because they're having shortage problems in North America and haven't launched in Europe yet. Xbox 360's sales are utterly dismal in Japan (worse than PS3's) and just as bad in Europe. The UK represents the "European" 360 market. Most of Europe is Sony and Nintendo territory.

Only GAF-like Nintendo fanboys would call for the end of Sony when they haven't even launched in the PAL region yet.  ::)

And for the millionth time NO ONE CARES ABOUT DQ OUTSIDE OF JAPAN. GET OVER IT. Enjoy your shitty Diablo clone while some of us look forward to what's coming on PS3 and 360.

I agree with Sony...they and Microsoft are progressing videogames, and Nintendo is doing their own thing.  In my opinion they are not even competition, it's a gimmick console, it's fun and I own one, but at the end of the day when compared to what you have on other platforms it's weaknesses are really exposed.
