THQ Boss Says Wii Hasn't Won Just Yet

Speaking earlier today at the - where else - Morgan Stanley Technology Conference, THQ boss Brian Farrell has said that while the Wii's been going gangbusters so far during this console generation, it doesn't have things sewn up just yet...

lol duh PS3 is going to be out 8.5 more years and has barely begun. Everyone is waiting on the PS3 to win. It's going to in the long run.

Well considering that the Wii sucks when it comes to 3rd party games...and because THQ is a 3rd publishers and there games tends to bomb sales wise on the Wii....he felt the need to say that...

hey it's the Gamecube all over again...

Wii is like a barbie for casual/old/retarded/dead/injur ed/ people to pass their time. NO serious gamer could seriously look at their big screen tv without cringing at the eye sore of graphic. Let me see how many hours on can u play COD4 or your fav game in one sitting? And how long can u stand and swing ur arms around playing the pathetic excuse for games on wii?

So I guess that this seventh generation of video game consoles is your first seeing as how you would have died from playing games from previous generations. The graphics on the N64 apparently would've stolen the life right out of you. For those of us who are fans of GAMES and have played them without discrimination over the past decade have learned to focus less on the shovelware games and notice the potential that Metroid and Galaxy have shown us that the Wii has. No, the Wii's graphics are nothing compared to the 360 or PS3, but they surely won't give you eye sores.

And as for your reference to retarded/dead people, I think it's time you've grown up. It's not funny.

im surprised to hear something like that, they are already realizing that the only games that sell on the wii are party games and wii fit. Core gamers who have the wii buy the first party titles such as metroid, SSBB, and Mario Galaxy.

without slowing down then yeah I'd say this generation is done. Wii, ps3 then 360. But until they do its an open race for first place between Wii and PS3.

look at it this way: although the ds is kicking the psp big time in term of sales do you think the psp has lost?? in particular if you bought a psp would you feel like you lost out??

point is xbox 360 owners and ps3 owners do not feel like they have lost and this is what really matters.. there are no winners and losers in this generation yet.

in a couple of years time when the ps3, xbox and wii are all around 150 bucks all this fanboy discussion will be dead since most fanboys will end up buying all three consoles.

[Intrepid]

Have you read what some of the fanboys have posted on this site? Some of them would probably give their soul away before buying another system. It's a shame really...
Otherwise, I agree with what you said.

thq needs to chill and just keep releasing original titles on the wii.. and those other two systems are no competition for the wii cause wii appeals to a much larger audience.

If you want to sell games on the Wii make some quality ones and hopefully it will sell well.

[SubzeroX]

Who the hell is going to take advice from the worst company since the nes days, and im surprised they are still around. If anything they should thank nintendo for letting them release such crap back then, because if they didn't they would be nothing.

"If you want to sell games on the Wii make some quality ones and hopefully it will sell"

Exactly why do these dumb assed companies wine for making poor software , and then getting nothing back when people don't fall for their stupid crap? Make some damn good games who cares how long it takes at least it will be worth it in the long run.
