they really didn't
it is the consumer that decides how long a console keeps selling.
PS2 is still selling well because of consumers not Sony. rather than seeing it as 'sony consoles sell for a long time' it should be seen as 'the leading consoles sell for a long time'. Sony can delay the jump into next gen for as long as they want but that is only viable as long as it keeps selling. This is not exclusively a Sony thing to do; after all, the NES had a 10 year life cycle in America.

to me the game seems to be playing exactly to the design philosophy. using the unique strengths of the console to creat a game possible no where else
1. Red steel 2
2. Monster Hunter Tri
3. No More Heroes: Desperate struggle
4. Metroid: Other M
5. Galaxy 2
those are my 5 reasons why I own one this year, tho im hoping we get some localisation announcements on the 24th
Also doesn't things like the black wii with WSR bundle in the UK count as a new SKU?
I don't see any new system launching. new wii sku possibly but definately not 8th gen
Meaning he is not talking about WKC2, Dark Cloud 3, Rougue Galaxy 2 or DQX. Im guessing the wii game is Inzuna and the console version of that DS game Ninoki (or something like that cant remember)
yeah I always think of WKC as PS3's MHtri. If I had a PS3 that woulkd definately be the game I got this year
did you guys read the article? Do you not get the irony?
I honestly do not understand why you act like this. apart from the fact that its immature, you state opinions as facts and state things that are simply not true. Can one of you explain why you post comments like these?
NES > SNES
and in handheld terms, GB > GBA
When the developer of the Xeno games are owned by nintendo I don't see why anyome would think they would be on any other console than the wii. Just be lad it's not on DS
this is their next big game, I thik they have stopped 360 development
metorid other M from team ninja site is up
Last Story by mistwalker site is up
Xenoblade by monolithsoft site is up
all 3 have amazing music
nintendo has to be one of the confusing companies ever, there so stupidly secret!
monado is taken off, unnannounced xenoblade is coming in the spring, last story is revealed as a wii game coming this year and kirby turns up again amongst ither this
it's simply using firts month NPD data, which isn't representative of the games overall sales at all.
Sega has had a zombie light gun shooter sell over a million and so has capcom. Hell, sega had a zombie light gun shoote rin the same year as extraction and thats passed 500k worldwide. If your own game was so profitable why would you use EA's game as a test. It doesn't show there isn't market otherwise your own titles wouldn;t have done so well.
In the end, if third ...
Im not a professional analyst and even I know that nintendo will sell the most hardware and software next year. To lump PSP and DS in 'others' is also ridiculous
EAD4 will be moving onto Pikmin 3 now which will prob be out in 2011 so no no main 2D mario until 2012 at least
wii made just as much revenue for EA as PS3, and with wii development costs cheaper I expect they have made more profit from the wii this quarter. To me I think the madden problem can be solved by not messing around with the brand. I live in the UK so many of you are going to know more about this than me but speaking to people who have played the game it seems EA has kept mmessing about and constanly changing it which has caused a drop in quality.
Tiger woods 10 is a wii game of ...
He isnt talking about shovelware.
nintendo didnt know how well wii would sell. 2007 was therefore packed with releases. holiday 2007 for example had prime 3, galaxy, fire emblem, battalion wars 2,donkey kong and crossbow training. did they really need that? in Europe its Ok because release were nice and spread out but in US (where the majority of the gaming press work) the lineup was very 2007 heavy
the pikmin team have just finished New super mario bros wii and they'll need at least 2 years to make pikmin 3 a great game. holiday 2010 should still be great if we get last story, zelda and xenoblade tho
