    • Nice answer
      You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

      • Wii fad over?

        Just got back from the local target, and lo and behold, 10 on the shelves, along with a slew of mario karts. I'm guessing a shipment was just unloaded, and due to the day, it hadn't been spotted yet, but who knows.

        more interesting was the rearrangement of shelves, they combined all three consoles into one row, 2 sections each, with games like gh and rock band opposite with ds games.

        • No need to push the console... lots of need to push games that go along with it

          Is Rock Band: Wii edition out yet? I might consider that...

            Apparently June 22.

            Another interesting game, to me anyway-the usual suspects here I'm sure will despise it, is speilberg's game Boom Blox, which comes out next week.

            I'm hoping it gets a decent marketing shove, unlike most wii games.

            Of course, we've already ordered Wii Fit from Amazon...

                FY2007:

                360: $481M
                PS3: $93M
                Wii: $65M

                EA's revenues on the PS3 only exceeded those on the Wii by less than 3 to 2?? I'm suprised indeed.

                I'm also curious how fall 2006 to spring 2008 translates into "two years".

                  So far the only example is No More Heroes, which, we are told, did better than its publishers previous offerings, cost little to make, and received little advertising/marketing.

                      and yet made the top ten chart this month. Would seem to show that 3rd party SW other than minigames/movie tie-ins/stuff "gamers" dont like CAN sell well on the Wii, DESPITE publishers sloppiness.

                        does your computer not calculate months, or fractions of years? Id think its one and a half years - the difference between that and two years being relevant considering the length of game development cycles, IIUC.

                            I know how to round. I was rounding numbers before you were born. Sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes it doesn't.

                            • You are being pedantic and I am going to continue smacking you around.

                              I used the words "couple of years". I did not say "over two years" or even "two years", it was meant was a general term.

                              It's been out for 1.5 years, but game development cycles go beyond that anyway.

                              I've no idea why you are arguing this, don't you have something better to do? At least pick interesting points to debate, please.
