havent even heard of wii party

Cevapi885141d ago

with the holidays coming and parents buying presents for their kids, the Wii looks like the best bet to sell the most yet again this year...and since these parents will be looking into what games to buy, Wii Party will be one of the games that they will be able to identify with and know what its about

A Cupcake for Gabe5141d ago

Casual games that are Wii(insert title here) casuals, sell 10s of millions. So this is a dumb article.

darkcharizard5142d ago

Maybe on single consoles, but not combined!

qface645141d ago

you really think that?
i remember they said it was impossible nor NSMBW to outsell MW2 and it did BY ALLOT

also you gotta look at the numbers for wii play they are insane

Obama5142d ago

According to a particular group this is the best game ever. (hint: not the wii group)

Why o why5142d ago

think fiats are better than ferraris

or

...

Theonik5141d ago

Ironically Fiat owns Ferrari at the moment.
Literally.

ndibu5141d ago

Just asking. Cause if they do then I want one...ferrari that is

lolzers5141d ago (Edited 5141d ago )

They buy games, and outweigh the people that buy games real gamers buy. That's all you need to know.

It has nothing to do with ferraris or any car you may feel belongs in an analogy. It might make you feel more clever or important, but it has no bearing on reality.

EDIT:Also, without these people buying these games our industry would likely sink. Give it up for the casual gamers!

No?

Ok then.

CrzyFooL5142d ago

haha I hope so. I would laugh my ass off.

e-p-ayeaH5142d ago (Edited 5142d ago )

Wii party is gonna be the ultimate party game cause its full of popular types of party games and since many casuals only own a Wii for these particular games so its a tough call.

Black ops wont sell that much im afraid (let´s hope)

velocitygamer5142d ago

Black Ops will sell, a lot of 12 year olds will buy it. Get ready to hear squeaky voices through shitty mics on Black Ops.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.

Neonridr592d ago

PS5 + Switch is honestly the best combo.

Jin_Sakai592d ago

Agreed. Both have amazing first party games!

Orchard592d ago

SteamDeck + Switch.

Xbox and PS games are playable on SD.

badz149592d ago

@Orchard

why would you want to play the worst versions of PS5 and Xbox SX games? the only thing the SD runs better than the original is Switch games

Orchard592d ago

@badz SD plays most games well. But if it's not up to your standards, just get a PC. PC/SteamDeck + Switch.

592d ago
S2Killinit592d ago

PS5 and Switch is definitely the way to go.

Jin_Sakai592d ago

“The Nintendo switch is a kids play thing compared to steam deck. It pummels the switch into the ground.”

Not thanks. I enjoy Nintendo games and love the OLED display.

FinalFantasyFanatic592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

@Orchard,
Your still missing out on alot of PS games doing that, Personally I'd go PS + Switch, but I also have a PC, so for me it's PS + Switch + PC and that gets me almost every game.

One day I'll get a Steam Deck to compliment my PC library of games, maybe when Steam Deck 2 comes out.

592d ago
BehindTheRows592d ago

PS5 + Switch + PC. But, close enough :P

The Wood592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

orchard...are you bored in life. Do you love pantomime or wanna be the lead attorney for Microsoft if all you do is cap for the brand doing the least. No disrespect intended but have a child , wife or play golf or something because you presence is weird. Dont strike me mods..... dude cant stop

thorstein591d ago

Well said. And whatever Xbox "exclusive" that I want, I just get for my PC.

Honestly getting a switch and ps5 is a better combo imo.

Lmao who gets that mad at a company wow get some therapy step away from the internet this is affecting you way more then you realize. You guys can be comedy in this website thanks for that laugh

I´m still laughing! XD

343_Guilty_Spark592d ago

You despise it because of a court battle?

S2Killinit592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

Personally I share his sentiments, for what MS is doing to the industry.

Fu£k MS, seriously.

592d ago
Jin_Sakai592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

“You despise it because of a court battle?“

The fact they’re trying to gobble up the worlds largest 3rd party publisher add over 2 years waiting for system sellers.

MontyeKristo591d ago

S2K - What EXACTLY is MS doing to the industry that you despise so much? Please share your thoughts..

Orchard592d ago

You despise them because of a court case? Feels like an overreaction.

Flawlessmic592d ago

You despise Sony because of what? Great consoles and great game consistenly?

Seems ridiculous hating on the gaming company giving us the most.

Your sd+switch comment is a joke but hey, expect nothing less from you.

notachance592d ago

Honestly it’s kind of amazing how Phil managed to make people like orchard keep defending the console after 2 generations of mediocrity.

thesoftware730592d ago

Lol, I get it..but at this point, what are MS to do? Just sit back and let it be blocked?

Also, remember when other companies agreed with Sony, you didn't seem this perturbed.

porkChop592d ago

What? You're overreacting. This is how literally any court case works. Calling on competitors, witnesses, etc., is standard practice. It's called building a defense. The FTC have been doing the exact same in building their case by calling on Sony for example. You don't build a strong case by making unsubstantiated claims, you need witnesses or documents to back them up.

giovonni592d ago

I mean, it’s logic when it comes to any other company, but it’s an issue when MS does it (builds its case.) It’s way too many emotional comments with no real facts to back it up. Just cause a company says something doesn’t make it factual as specially in the court of law. After reviewing the evidence so far the FTC needs a stronger case.

PapaBop592d ago

If only they put this much effort into actually making their own games.

BehindTheRows592d ago

Exactly. Xbox cheerleaders can drive around this road block all they want, but nothing matters more than this! When they start releasing their OWN games, we can start to credit Microsoft with a contribution to accelerating our medium. Until then, they're simply making useless noise.

CobraKai592d ago

I got all 3 but most of my play time is between PlayStation and Switch…. Yeah MS needs all the help it can get.

JL2930592d ago

Who told you Metroid is months away?

Obscure_Observer592d ago

@Jin_Sakai

"I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point."

Finally! Do it! Bookmarked!

NotoriousWhiz592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

You can hate the CEO / leadership without hating the product. Don't let company politics ruin your enjoyment of a product.

Also, Switch is great. If you don't have one, I can highly recommend it, even with reduced performance compared to the current gen consoles.

BehindTheRows592d ago

I agree with your sentiment, but they go hand-in-hand. Once a company leaves a bad taste in your mouth, you aren't going to desire their products (or may desire them much less than before). And he clearly isn't alone. Xbox's numbers are down all around. That tells me what the public thinks.

In 2023, they have their work cut out for them. If nothing changes, they will eventually fall into obscurity with Nintendo and Sony continuing to truck along doing what they have for over 25 years — providing experiences you cannot get elsewhere. The multitrillion dollar company could learn a thing or two from those mere mortals.

592d ago
Focus40591d ago

Did Microsoft touch down there

RNTody591d ago

My combo is PC and PS5. Switch Games are amazing but Nintendo's infrastructure and marketplace puts me off. Decade old games still go for full price and hardly have specials.

MontyeKristo591d ago

You just now despise MS and Xbox? Bro, who you lying to - you been hating on MS and Xbox for yeeeeeeears.

Your mad because the are attempting to buy a company and are calling in people/companies that could possibly aid them in doing so? If the FTC and the UK's counterpart are fighting it - should they just be "okay, okay, you win!" Nah, that's stupid.

Y'all mad for what reason? They are trying to build a bigger better brand and y'all mad. Not like MS and Sony don't own near the same amount of studios, now. It's been lopsided for years but you've never complained or cried foul when Sony was buying up companies/studios.

Get over yourself.

This is crazy. I can't believe MS dragged Ninty into this drama 😆

PureBlood592d ago

Hopefully they tell them to bugger off!

MEGANE591d ago

This is what nintendo gets for back stabbing Sony, by entertaining MS stupid offers instead of siding with Sony help them, o well, at this point Nintendo seems to be the more stable of the 3 companies, and they compite with no one at the moment.

jonny897592d ago

Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.

Orchard592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

How will this acquisition have an impact on Googles Android store revenue?

And how are MS trying to diminish their store revenue today? Microsoft even sell devices that run Android and have the Play Store as their marketplace…

Orchard592d ago

I did. I couldn't find any mention of Microsoft planning to pull COD mobile and Candy Crash from the Android Play Store.

Hofstaderman592d ago

Not to mention MS has been a proxy agent in the Apple VS Google saga. So don’t be surprised if MS is banking on that. Slimeballs

Thundercat77592d ago

Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?

badz149592d ago

Maybe we will get news that Nintendo and Google both claim MS approach as harassment too after this.

FinalFantasyFanatic592d ago

I smell an incredible amount of desperation on Microsoft's part, it's getting to the point where the desperation is disgusting.

XiNatsuDragnel592d ago

Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?

lodossrage592d ago

They are, and they'll probably fight the subpoena just like Sony did.

"Google and NoA requested extensions to the deadline to limit or kill their respective subpoenas"
