is wii going to be another failed console later down the line?

[Scuba Kid]

Right. I think a lot of game developers will be more willing to make Wii gamesthan ps3 because of the brilliant new idea. The innovation of the wii is a huge market strategy. I mean, who doesnt think motion sensitive video game controls are cool?

i dont think so, unlike the dreamcast the wii has a more next generation look and feel to it. the dreamcast lacked variety, and it was a sega lol. but the wii will dominate.

I dont think so

Well for only $250 I'm willing to take that chance. And if it does fail I still have my 360.

well some people are luckier than others. i havent got enough money to buy more than one console. if i did then i woulnt be complaining about the GC's dropout!

yeah im only getting one console too, so im abit worried too lol. But i do believe it will do much better than the GC.

For me looking at the other consoles..

360: as i have a decent PC, only games that i know about on the 360 and wont be on PC, that interest me are gears of war and halo; but buying a console for simply 2 games..

PS3: alot of good titles i would want, such as the final fantasy series, metal gear, devil may cry and im sure just like the ps2 did they will have a large selection of RPG's and CO-OP games, which are really my favourite games. But in the end price for me is a factor and i also live in australia so.. $1000 and i have to wait till march? no thank you, as i really wanted something for the holidays.

So in the end ill be getting a wii, but thats just my situation.

i thought the GC would do better thn the N64 but i was sooooo wrong....

[daddyfatsackz]

......just dont buy a Wii and quit posting your negative pointless horseSh** here

[mofoninja88]

im trying to make an informed decsion over what to buy!

[daddyfatsackz]

thats fine i understand,but here is something you greatly overlooked...EA has nintendos back....this is HUGE. Why you ask sports games alone...interactivity unparalled....this alone will sell units. I cant wait to play madden,fifa,Live, fight night,etc. Can you do that on a ps3 or 360? No,hell **** no.

Chill out, daddyfatsackz. mofoninja88 isn't bashing Wii at all, just bringing up some faults in Nintendo's last console. I agree, GC was a bit of a waste as it only had a handful of great games and not enough 3rd party support. However, unlike GC, Wii has quite a bit of support. Ubisoft, who I think I can say is many people's including my favorite game design company, are really pushing out good titles and EA is also really into the new controller and what it can offer.
Nintendo learned from their previous mistakes and are really competing well, offering a huge launch list with some great games and when things get a little sparse, Nintendo will release more VC games. Many gaming companies seem to be tired of the same old "increase the graphics, same old gameplay" formula and Wii is catching their eyes. If Wii fades out, then Xbox 360 will definitely fade out and PS3 will follow soon after, a.k.a. the world ends.
