Does this article make any sense to any of you or could this just be an isolated incident? In all honesty, there are much fewer games I plan to buy for the Wii then the PS3, but that’s just me. But I don’t look at my Wii as a bad investment. There seems to be some kind of mixed message in this article I can’t put my finger on.
you spelled "buy" wrong, oh and how is Smash bros. being bundled with the Wii, I can’t even find any Wii’s here(where I live)?

Cool it on the macros, across all the forums, Phirk.
I’d say if it’s more prevalent, then we can infer that the Wii audience is more deliberate in deciding what games are worthwhile opposed to others. Content over glamor.
So, I really doubt it is anything to worry about, especially if the wii appeals to an even greater extent to the "casual" market. Nintendo are making money back on console sales alone, anything over the top is a bigger bonus in comparison to their competitors. They don’t need the sales density.
About this post: my mind is in physics mode. 😐 My first paragraph was like someting out of a physics textbook…
Anyway, it’s a good thing for Nintendo that they have been profiting off console sales from day one – if they went the ‘lose on hardware, profit on software’ route that Microsoft and Sony took, they’d be screwed.
Seeing as Ninty’s been targeting outside the typical "gamer" demographic since, oh, DAY ONE, it’s only natural that fewer titles are being purchased. NYT explained as much. NYT’s also made a good point about some advertising snafus, such as with Zack and Wiki, which really is a terrific game.
That being said, my family and I own two Wiis (one I purchased for college, one they purchased because I took mine to college), and have about 8 excellent games split between them.
I thought Wii sports was fun, but wore off after a while. Medal of Honor heroes 2 is awesome online, and the actualy game is pretty good too, I play it with the Wii zapper. If anyone likes FPS’s, thats a excellent one for the Wii. Mario kart comes out in about 40 minutes, here in Denver. That is going to kick ass with the wheel I bought for it, i can’t wait to get other racing games for it now. Smash bros is the only other one I own, it is really fun. I agree with one view it should have had motion control but oh well. The Wii is a funy system, with some great titles, and really horrible titles, I can’t stand going to a game store or game section at a store, and seeing "Hannah Montana" or some fucking twat kiddy shit. thats my theory/rant.
