Wake up, chump. Your taste and opinion is - *sniffsniffsniff* - shyeeeeeeaaaat!
Quote from: Green Shinobi on January 15, 2010, 02:31:05 AMThe best party games include Strip Twister, Beirut, Flip-Cup, Never Have I Ever and Asshole. Are those games on the Wii? Didn't think so. No one gives a shit if you think the Wii hasn't cornered certain "hardcore" markets. That irrelevant. The modern day video game industry is about being a jack of all trades. The XBox 360 has first person and third person shooters locked, along with western RPGs, and what has it gotten it? A tentative second place spot this generation. The PS3 has all the hardcore leftovers. What good has that served Sony? Oh, third place in the U.S. And their shitty handheld has all those great PS2 games, what are the perks in that? That's right, a machine on life support.Wake up, chump. Your taste and opinion is - *sniffsniffsniff* - shyeeeeeeaaaat!

More like a 7 of diamonds, kid. That's how many 10 million plus sellers they'll have at the end of this round IF they stop making new games.This is an NPD thread, look at the numbers, drag your ass back down to reality, and shut up. I know it hurts, but that's life. Just accept the fact that Nintendo is your hobby's new daddy.
Nintendosbooger is bleeding all over the place. Typical Wii situation; even in moments of success, ntards are on the rabid defensive. Dude should play more real games.
PD, you're not even attempting to address what Green Shinobi said.I guess it's the former in your case, then?
"Superior storytelling?"Really? You care about that? Anyone with self respect doesn't skip cutscenes when applicable?

I don't think you're doing it right. The only thing I took issue with is that someone thinks a plot has anything to do with a good game.
Another Wii million seller

Sales of The Beatles: Rock Band game during the holidays turned out to be less than fab.The costly music game sold 357,000 units in the U.S. in December, bringing its total since launching Sept. 9 of last year to 1.18 million, according to new data from the NPD Group.Including foreign sales, The Beatles: Rock Band sold more than 1.7 million units worldwide.
Overall, sales of music video games plunged 46% to $1.06 billion last year, according to NPD. It was the largest decline of any genre, indicating that the once red-hot music gaming trend, which took off with the original Guitar Hero in 2005, is losing steam.
and Harmonix is no better, ok
Tired genre anyway. It was a mercy killing. Thank you Activision.
The Beatles killed Rock Band :'(
I was mostly joking, but Beatles Rock Band sold 3 million less than expected, and didn't come close to turning a profit.
Rock Band has done quite well for itself, and The Beatles Rock Band has been getting much of the buzz this holiday season. But EEDAR analyst Jessie Divnich still predicts that Guitar Hero 5 will outsell The Beatles Rock Band by more than 2:1.According to Bloomberg, EEDAR is predicting "4 million-plus" units sold for Guitar Hero 5 and 1.7 million for The Beatles Rock Band.
Doesn't change the fact that Beatles suck.
It was expected to do between 4-5 million worldwide.
I dunno, my friends and I play a lot of Rock Band still and there are quite a few bars in San Diego that host "Rock Band nights".
My buddies and I still get together and play a lot of Rock Band. The recent DLC sucks balls, though, so I've stopped buying it.

Maybe someone can release a new add on based musical themed game like "Glock Banned : Mark Chapman edition" ?
hell, i like the beatles and i didn't buy itwill snatch it up when it hits $20, though
That the genre ever got as big as it did in the first place was mostly a fluke. Based around the gimmick of playing with plastic instruments and tricking casuals to get involved into the whole mix and not think it was nerdy like they the view the rest of gaming.You can't sell that shit every year to a new group of people at the same numbers. Eventually burn out sets in. All that happened was the market corrected itself. Music games will always represent a money-making genre. I just doubt they will be the monster they were at the high point.
