Wii for you and Wii for me

I think this kinda illustrates the MASSIVE difference in the three main Gaming Markets. There is NA, (Western mostly) Europe, and Japan, and they all have different projections. The 360 is practically flat lined in Japan. The Wii is held by annalists to be strongest in Japan too. I think it will do the worst in Europe, since Nintendo just doesn?t have the presence over there that it has in other places. NA is set to be a three way right now. Honestly, know one knows exactly what will happen, but I think every console will do pretty dang well here. The PS3 is in the best position since it looks strong in all major sectors, while the other two have weak area's. But in the end it's all speculation. My personal thoughts don't have any reflection on what will happen either. They are just what I think will happen, which oddly enough is based on what other people (who claim to be experts) think will happen lol. If deciphering business models was this easy, we'd all be millionaires right?

I agree with you on this but I think the Wii will do quite well everywhere, even if it will do better in the US and Japan. Like you I think the PS3 looks strong in all major sections. The 360 is the one that seems to have the biggest problem, what with not selling well in Japan. However, the 360 has been around for a while now, what we know we know for a fact, while the other two have yet to be launched so all we can do is try and predict the outcome. Perhaps in the end the 360 will do better than the other two, although I personally doubt that. I do think the 360 will sell better in Japan once the kind of games that appeal to the Japanese start coming out.

They are marketing it for to young an age again as well imo.The nz veiw yet again is going to be that its kiddy.I can envision the marketing allready.Does europe have that problem with nintendo?

I can only speak for my country, but Nintendo usually publicizes its products as being for everyone and not just for kids, they tend to focus a lot on the whole 'fun' thing

...you don't find any nintendo games fun? i..i...don't understand. i always thought mario was fun for everyone. shooting shells at people and leaving giant bananas for them to slip on. *sigh*

I find that sort of game fun for a couple of hours (Mario last a bit longer actually) but then I get bored because it's just more of the same. It's the same with racing games, fighting games, etc. I need a story and/or some sort of mystery to keep me interested.
