Λοιπόν περί vote channel.

Όπως όλοι, στην αρχή είπα "τι παπαριά είν' τούτη" ;

Έχει όμως δυνατότητες. Με την έννοια ότι μπορεί να αποφασιστεί και η γενικότερη πορεία του wii με βάση αυτά τα polls.

Δεν ξέρω, μου φαίνεται πολύ γελοίο να μην κρύβεται κάτι από πίσω και να είναι απλά "ψηφίστε τι προτιμάτε: γάτα ή σκύλο";

Κι εγώ αυτό πιστεύω.

 

Σίγουρα θα χρησιμοποιηθεί αυτό το κανάλι για να παίρνουν πληροφορίες για το τί προτιμάνε οι κάτοχοι Wii και πιθανότατα να φτιάχνουν αντίστοιχους τίτλους...

Graphs: Holiday 2006

We chart Wii's first couple months and compare its biggest sellers to those on PS3 and Xbox 360.

 

 

Data from the NPD Group, the industry's leading tracker of videogame software sales, always arrives with a bang. Perhaps readers are interested in paralleling trends between software sales and the stocks they own, or maybe they're just looking to add fuel to the raging fanboy bonfire. Whatever the case, sales data is always hotly anticipated and followed and that being true, we've designed the Graphs features to offer readers a closer look at the latest NPD numbers. Our analysis of each week's new data comes alongside a handful of pretty bar and pie charts intended to demystify those pesky numbers.

 

 

Nintendo's Wii console kicked off to a very healthy start when it debuted last November. Positive press and strong reception from non-gamers ascended the platform to the top of the charts, easily besting Sony's PlayStation 3, which was only available in limited quantity due to manufacturing technical difficulties. As a result, Wii software sales were overall much stronger through the year - well ahead of PS3, but also notably short of Xbox 360, whose installed base was several times larger.

 

Today's Graphs feature looks specifically at the top sellers of the year for all three consoles. For Nintendo, the standout was predictable. The four-years-in-the-making Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess garnered sales of more than 935,000 units on Wii through December - and that was for America alone. The case could also be made that Wii Sports sold well in excess of a million units for the year since it was included as a pack-in with the system itself, but we'll discount the title for that very reason. By contrast, PlayStation 3's best-seller was Resistance: Fall of Man, an original first-person shooter from Sony. Some 286,000 copies of the title were purchased by PS3 owners through December. The sales gap between the two console leaders was immense. That being said, Nintendo had nothing on Microsoft, whose original third-person action game, Gears of War, tallied 1.5 million in sales for Xbox 360 through December.

 

 

These results are hardly surprising given the number of machines that sold for each respective platform through the year. In fact, they offer a fairly accurate representation of market penetration for each company for the period.

 

What is interesting, however, is the third party breakdown for both Wii and PS3. Although skeptics are quick to shrug Nintendo's system off as a "console for Nintendo games," the fact of the matter is that there were not only more third party titles available on Wii than PS3 in 2006, but many of these games also sold better on the Big N's platform.

 

Approximately 33 titles shipped for Wii before the end of 2006 and 30 of those games were supplied from third parties, including Electronic Arts, Activision, Midway, THQ and Atlus. By comparison, only 17 games debuted on PlayStation 3 in 2006 and third parties published 14 of them. Furthermore, only two third party PS3 games managed to sell more than 100,000 copies. Madden NFL 07 was PS3's number-one third party effort with approximately 185,000 in sales. Incidentally, despite having a larger installed base, Madden sold slightly less on Wii with about 180,000 units. The numbers aren't incredibly different, especially since Nintendo fans have not traditionally flocked to the Madden franchise. PS3's second biggest third party seller, Call of Duty 3, amassed 110,000 purchases. The Wii version of the game, however, sold through 155,000 copies.

 

 

As the pie chart above showcases, Activision's Marvel: Ultimate Alliance also sold much better on Nintendo's console than it did Sony's - nearly double, in fact. Still, both versions were outpaced by the Xbox 360 version, which enjoyed sell-through at nearly twice that of Wii.

 

There is no denying that Nintendo fans do tend to buy Nintendo-made products. That all three of the Big N's games - Zelda, Excite Truck and Wii Sports - technically managed sales of 100,000 or more speaks to that argument, as far as we're concerned. It also speaks to the quality of the games. Even so, third parties have definitely already found in Wii a console that they can turn a profit. Wii had nine games - six of them from third parties - that sold at least 100,000 copies through December. That is, again, compared to two for PS3. Ubisoft in particular was a big winner. Its Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids Wii titles sold approximately 220,000 and 185,000 respectively - nothing to scoff at for a brand new franchise and another that has slumbered for years. Sega's Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz managed 175,000 in sales. And Atlus had a sleeper on its hands with Trauma Center: Second Opinion, which sold through 115,000 copies. The title - a "Wii-make" of a DS game - required minimal development investment and, that considered, offered big returns.

We and our best friend's the English dictionary have always thought 'open source' equated to "free software" but not when it comes to one Wii mod developer.

 

Just for clarification.

open source != free software

Reggie talks Wii, DS, and more

 

 

 

On Wii first and third party support - “A year ago, people were challenging me: ʽWhat are you going to do to make sure thereʼs strong third-party support?ʼ ” We have it. Now folks are saying, ʽWhereʼs all your strong first-party titles?ʼ Theyʼre coming. But weʼre being very strategic when weʼre going to launch them. And weʼre making sure our licensees enjoy success on their titles and that the spacing makes sense.”

 

On Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - “What I will tell you about ʽMetroidʼ is that ʽMetroidʼ will be fabulous. I think itʼs fair to say that all of us were disappointed with the sales of ʽMetroid Prime 2,ʼ [the gameʼs developer] Retro included. The focus on ʽPrime 3′ is to make that the stellar game for a first-person experience on the platform. … What that means is weʼre going to make sure itʼs perfect when we launch it. I think this is one where your readers — the fans of Nintendo, the core gamer — need to recognize that when we release it, it will be perfect. And if thatʼs a little later than folks would have liked, Iʼm hoping theyʼre going to be happy. They certainly seem to be happy that we took our time with ʽ[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.ʼ ” With that kind of talk, the obvious follow-up question was: “If itʼs perfect, does that mean itʼs going to be online?” In response, Fils-Aime said: “Thatʼs perfect for you.”

Famitsu Scores Fire Emblem Wii :

FE Wii - 8/8/8/9

 

- The game is a sequel to the GC game and retains all the standards and elements of FE

- Gameplay is still very traditional, one reviewer mentions that it doesn't use any control scheme where you move the remote (he gave it a 9)

- The game is hard, like the rest of the series, with perm death

- For beginners it is highly recommended to go through the new tutorial

To online είναι perfect για σένα και για μένα αλλά όχι για όλους.

 

Δεν είναι λίγοι αυτοί που δεν θέλουν online στο Metroid, μιάς και το θεωρούν κατεξοχήν single player εμπειρία.

 

Προτιμούν εν ολίγης όλος ο δημιουργικός χρόνος των developers να αφιερωθεί σε μιά καταπληκτική single player ιστορία και να μήν αναλωθούν σε multiplayer features.

 

Προσωπικά το κατανοώ, μιάς και το να ζητάς online από το Metroid είναι σα να ζητάς online από το Zelda.

 

Αυτό δεν εμπόδισε όμως την DS έκδοση του Metroid από το να έχει online multiplayer....
