Here are five reasons why we believe the Wii won't rock you:
1- Not Enough Games
One of the main factors that decided the PSOne/N64 war was Nintendo's lack of software support from third parties (Square famously went over to Sony's camp in the early stages). This past generation, third-party support was better for the GameCube, at least at first. However, that support waned over time, slowing the supply of new titles to a trickle and creating a dearth of GameCube exclusive titles.2- Graphics Really Do Matter
not all developers are looking to make games with a different input method. Many are going to be looking for more triangle-pushing ability to make their 3D models and environments more detailed and more processing power to make physics effects more realistic.
It's not necessarily cool or "hardcore" to say that graphics matter, but it's still a fact: graphics matter.
3- Wii Remote Not the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
4- Home Console Market Isn't Nintendo's To Losesometimes using the motion sensitive controller is awkward to the player and doubly so to observers. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkachi 2 is a prime example of this, with punching and "Kamehameha wave" motions required to make your character fight. While this may be the thing YouTube 15-minute celebrities are made of, it's hard to imagine it catching on long-term with the prime 18 - 34 male demographic.
Now, the Wii is releasing, but instead of following the phenomenally successful Game Boy Advance, it has to follow the GameCube.
...portable system success does not ensure home console sales.
5- Price Advantage Won't Last
The simple fact remains that the price difference between the Wii and the 360/PS3 will shrink over time, unless Nintendo is willing to continue cutting the price of the system when it reaches $100. And will consumers really balk at the difference between a $99 Wii and a $199 or $249 PS3?

2- Graphics Really Do Matter
Unless you buy an HDTV and an HDMI cable, the PS3 graphics will suck too.
3- Wii Remote Not the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread
The PS3 doesn't even have rumble!
4- Home Console Market Isn't Nintendo's To Lose
Nintendo is the only videogame company that doesn't lose money on its hardware sales.
5- Price Advantage Won't Last
By the time the prices drop, Nintendo and Microsoft will introduce attractive bundles.
"the really sad thing is when the Wii Lite comes out i will feel cheated"
ReplyDeletenintendo always like that, they -at least- make new accessories that should replace the old ones, and u should buy them. XD
"1-I just want to say one thing: Ubisoft is making 14 exclusive titles."
i think still not enough, specially if the life time for the wii is short.
unless if each game as strong as prince-of-persia!
2&3 => I agree :)
4- he means that, if it not looses, it'll get few profits.
5 => sure :)
nintendo always changed the handhelds for a better design but consoles are never changed.
ReplyDeletesince the NES till the GC they never released the system with more better features.
