The highly popular newspaper, New York Times, has recently taken a step into the video game industry with a look into the top selling video game consoles sales. That console is of course the Nintendo Wii, which is selling out every week still and is now in over 20 million of our homes, but there is a problem with the Wii according to Jeff Muskuss, a New York Times journalist.
The Wii has enjoyed success which over shadows its competition in the market but while Wii is selling consoles the 360 and PS3 are selling games. The Wii is gathering a reputation as a family and party console. The hardcore Nintendo audience is depleting as lack of games for their hunger aren't coming and those that do sell poorly.
Figures have shown that only 6 games have made the top 10 sales list that are for the Wii console. The obvious 3 are of course No More Heroes, Zack and Wiki and Brawl. Only one of them being a critical hit with that being Brawl whose sales dropped 90% in recent weeks. The other three titles were Super Mario Galaxy, Guitar Hero 3 and Wii Play. Galaxy was another hit game being well received by all, but the mini game compilation Wii Play is still dominating sales and as for Guitar Hero 3 for Wii it sold 2.2 million with the 360 version receiving 2.8 million sales but the Playstation received over 5 million sales between PS2 and PS3. The Wii version lacked features such as downloadable content because of its online service being far behind...
With Wii Fit about to hit our shelves soon is it about time for the Hard core gamers to realize Nintendo doesn't care or will they stay strong and hope Nintendo can conjure up a winner? Or should New York Times journalists just leave video games alone? Is all of this to be expect from the cheapest and most innovative console? That’s all up to you.
