I'll say one thing here....sure, Wii's sales may have dropped, but as with all consoles, there comes a point where the sales have to drop because EVERYBODY ONES ONE ALREADY!!!

To be frank, Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess were inferior to their N64 counterparts.

Wii sucks for real gamers, PS3 has no games, Xbox360 breaks all the time

People what the hell, get back to your computer which already happens to be able to do everything you want it to do instead of emulating ancient games on your TV

1.Its doesn't offer many possible new titles that players want to play like the new Final Fantasy.

2.It doesn't have Hard Drive only has a Flash Drive.

How people like anon 13:52 can say a console with 185,000 more sales as the PS3 AFTER a huge jump in sales and double the sales of the 360 is a failure amazes me.

Even with a slump in sales it still beats PS3's 70% increase and still doubles the 360's sales. That isn't dead that is they are finally coming down from what should have been an obviously un-sustainable sales record.

A healthy economy is the efficient use of available resources. An unhealthy market or crisis situation can create opportunities for greater profit margins. It all comes down to saving money and other resources.

Consumers that spend on non-essential and luxury goods help to create unstable markets. Therefore when you treat your money like peanuts so does the rest of the world.

I'm starting suspect Rokudaime is prejudice since he's twisting this article around to somehow call Artefact a PS3 fanboy...

The Wii is the first 'major' console that I have not purchased in 25 years of gaming. I'll be the first to admit Nintendo has made some of the greatest games off all time; and the NES and SNES were phenomenal. Yet, I cannot wait for the Wii to fade away. Being down 37% vs. last year doesn't make me happy. I'll be happy when the Wii sells 'zero' consoles. It's horrible. :( There are about 3 games that make me jealous; but, not enough to buy one. No More Heroes, MadWorld and Muramasa. Those titles are on the WRONG console. They can shove Wii Fit, Wii Sports and all that shit straight up their assholes. And, hey, "Anyone remember the most embarrassing piece of shit, Wii Rock Climbing that was shown off earlier this year, and vanished???" Also, I want to thank Sankaku Complex in advance for having the balls to post this comment. Other sites either won't post my comments, or ask for a mile long list of requirements. T/Y Sankaku!

The real problem is not so much the hardware but the fact they need better games.
I really don't care how nice the graphics are if the game play is crap.
I seem some stuff on the PC that looked like pixar stuff but it played like shit.
I will give Nintendo credit for having the guts to try and change how you interact with games on the Wii vs the same old gamepad.

I think the console still should have at least supported 720p I don't care about HDMI component would have been good enough.
Other issues just about everyone has a Wii so in someways they're a victim of the own success.
I think some stuff they could do is allow homebrew to be official vs trying to kill it as this does greatly improve it's usefulness.
Also I think FPS could be great on the Wii with a little more work.

The Wii was doomed out the gate. Its launch games already maxed out the systems capabilities, and the system has 0 room to grow. Add to that, no serious gamers want anything to do with the waggle-mote, and developers know it. Worst still, Nintendo knew their newest gimick would remain theres in success only as long as it took each other system to clone the ability. Once 360 and PS3 get their waggle-mote clone gimmick mechanic out, the casual gamer market Wii was enjoying will make the jump to the other systems where they can get casual games, serious games, niche games (like flower and little big planet), and enjoy other uses for the systems, such as watching blu-rays they grabbed from a red box. Nintendo F@#$ed up big time by making the Wii and DS, when it should have made a Gamecube portable to keep their old system and library growing while putting it in the portable market. They should have saved the waggle-mote and touch screens until they had a system that wasn't obsolete out of the box.

Why did it take so many comments to finally state the obvious?

How can Wii sales keep going up and up? The market for them must be absolutely saturated by now.

Yet another fanboy news post on Sankaku. Should I be surprised? No, no I shouldn't. Never mind that the Wii has outsold its competitors by freakish numbers again this year. -_-

I think one of the main reasons the sales dropped is because most americans already own one....

A certain degree of inflation is necessary for proper economic growth. So long as consumption remains at sustainable levels (meaning consumers aren't overextending themselves to make purchases), there's nothing to worry about, inflation-wise.

And economies and markets are intertwined; you can't have a healthy economy with sick markets.

well they already announced a new more powerful Wii with both wiimote and normal control pad which will be more powerful than the xbox 360 and maybe even on par with the PS3
