QUOTE(PhoenixByte @ Mar 10 2010, 03:09 PM) i think that is pretty much it...coz there were enticed during the promo by wii sports after all after the first month of the hype...most ppl grew tired of it already n thinking about getting either 360/PS3, and the short of supply for new gen gaming on the Wii just can't pull people here in the long run. Unless u can afford multiplatform, u can afford to wait for new wii exclusive titles to come n keep ur wii during that waiting time. As for others..they just sell it back. As for other games, not that much...I mean, really...although some ppl say that gameplay is important aside from graphics but who are we kidding? if a title came out multiplatform...each for 360, PS3 n Wii...which will ppl go for? (e.g: Ghostbusters, Starwars: Force Unleashed). Added on March 10, 2010, 3:14 pm yes, that's why i said, partially it is, but partially because there's the lack of pulling titles for the masses. Perhaps we should also tell ppl, a modded wii CAN PLAY a legit disc. Not many ppl know that actually..they are afraid well, today i visited my local pirated game shop. they don't really keep account exactly how many games they sell, but they tell me 360 and wii games sells just as many. suprisingly he said ps2 games sells at a slower rate. 360 they have 4 binders, whereas wii they have 10 binders. i know this is a very small sample, and cannot really conclude, but here is the fact on one game shop. |

no, its bad for me. coz that kind of 'proof' that the ori titles can't be found in malaysia because of piracy, as my first point.

u should remember though, i didn't reject ur point...i just add other points saying, piracy is not the only thing to blame for this, that's all.
based on ur observation both 360 n Wii are subjects of modding, both equally sells great 'batuk version' (although 360 only hv 4 binders n wii hv 10 binders, yet the sale is equal)...but still, why is the ori 360 titles more available than the wii titles? Do u see the pattern based on the binders? (360 less binder but still sell equals to Wii which offers more binders of game selection). Again...a pattern is there. It also reflects the quality for most games there on the wii (too much shovelware to highlight its true potential?) I know u said b4 that 360 is less abused than the wii...but i think both are equally abused coz right off the bat...most shops carries 'this type' too.

just to expand on what phoenixbite said:
shovelwares is more common on the wii. but it doesn't bother me coz i just take what is good, and ignore the rest. but what bother's me so much (being a fanboy, it is quite stressful) is that the wii is really not treated like current gen to game developers. they still get rundown versons of d same game available on ps3/360. the worst part, even casual games get rundown versions - i.e. karaoke revolution - and that really sucks as a gamer that enjoys mature games, owning a wii just don't make me complete. i know gameplay is more important then graphics. but isn't graphics a very close 2nd? and who says ps3 can't equal wii in terms of gameplay? who said throwing a greanade by pressing a button can be less satisfying then throwing a grenade with the nunchuck? the ps3 is moving into 'real world' graphics, but the wii is still banging on going cartoony. and as a wii fanboy, the worst part is that sony understands that they lack family games, and they are doing something about it. but the wii still don't undersand they lack mature games, and is doing nothing about it.

Finally, I managed to finish reading this whole thread. It almost took me one whole week. I will be getting an ummodded Wii console soon and I think I should have bought other consoles (PS3, 360) which are more popular in Malaysia.
Any idea of Wii games rental in Malaysia? |

wii games rental i think could be done at gamers hideout...i dunno does kyo provide this service though...he may do it just for you if you ask him nicely...=p
anyway, i think the 360 should be more popular because of "cheaper" games available...XD |

btw, q about 360. if u mod your 360 then kena ban by microsoft. does that mean u can't play online anymore for that account? and no way to revive? so habis la?
just wondering y people mod their 360. its an highly unattractive proposition if that d above case. |
