"For Nintendo, the rich keep getting richer. After a series of record breaking months, Forbes reports that Nintendo is set to shatter the Playstation 2's best selling year of 2003. The Wii, with over 6 million units sold so far this year, could sell as many as nine or ten million consoles this year in the US alone.
Unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo makes a profit of $6 on every Wii sold. Some quick math tells us that at $6 each, Nintendo could rake in $60 million dollars this year from the United States alone in just Wii hardware sales."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
Why the hell wii's sell so well my wii has collected a thick layer of dust.
The Wii is just beastly. I sold mine though. I just couldn't take the damn gaming droughts and I didn't want to bother lugging it to my new apartment. I sold it to a coworker while they were still hard to find for a nice little bundle and bought MGS4 and DMC4 with the money.
The Wii doesn't have the games to be someone's main system, but it is great for just chillin with some family and people who aren't TOO into games. It's great to have fun with them and with a girlfriend, so it's no surprise it still has that appeal.
Is that the money they make on console sales is just a drop in the bucket compared to software and accessories. Think about it-- they come out with things like wii fit, mario cart, links crossbow training, all games that come with an accessory and therefore cost more that a game alone, and people buy that stuff like hotcakes. The scary thing is that if the Wii keeps going like this, who knows what Sony and Microsoft will do with their next systems? --shiver--
That is pretty insane actually. $60 million? On only hardware? Only in the US? I could imagine what that number looks like with all of the other regions like Canada (yay), Europe, Japan, Australia, etc...
