Wii sees 79 million-sellers

Who says the Wii can't produce million-sellers? As of March 2010, the Wii has seen 79 million sellers. This number is up from 59 million sellers as of March 2009. The good news is, that number includes both first and third party million-sellers. There's definitely success to be had on the Wii. You just have to make sure you advertise for the right markets, and actually create a quality product!

wii just cant be stopped...

dabri55126d ago

Wii is like a virus. You go to someone's place and they have it. They show you a game (wii sports) and people have fun. All the friends go home and they buy the console as well. After about a week, no one really plays their wii unless something comes out that has a "neat" accessory like Wii Fit. The same thing happens with the friends that bought the system and the cycle continues. 79 million sold, 78 million collecting dust. The last game I got on my Wii was Murumasa. Will prob pick up the new metroid and Last Story if it turns out good. Whats sad is none of the really good games for Wii are ones that sell really well.

"Wii is like a virus."
first sign of a butthurt fanboy...

"After about a week, no one really plays their wii unless something comes out that has a "neat" accessory like Wii Fit."
this is just as lame as those Sony is doomed articles, those arguments are no longer valid

"Whats sad is none of the really good games for Wii are ones that sell really well."
Monster Hunter Tri isnt good? neither is Brawl? MP3? NMH? Galaxy? NSMB? RE4? Umbrella Chronicles? Twilight Princess? are these all bad games?

Just accept it, the wii is dominating this gen.

I think you misdunderstood that last comment. Those games that you listed are great games that didn't sell what they deserved. I like my wii. I want more reasons to play it.

N64: Recompiled — Creating Native PC Ports Is A Godsend For Game Preservation

"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game

SK1 had a fairly good framerate. sk2 maybe not so much ha

Some food for thought:

Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?

As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.

The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.
