For every 10 Wii's sold, 7 aren't even being played

How did they determine this... not played for how long? OF course 7 out of 10 wont be played beacause i doubt everyone that owns a wii plays 24-7 or all at the same time <--- joke
 
They found this out over a course of dozens of tests and questions asked to Wii-owners..of course this isn't 100% accurate...but still...out of the people they tested, that's quite alot.

Ugh. Who cares? Nintendo is still pwning Sony in every aspect. That's all that matters.

that doesnt mean they have the best games, which in my opinion, and alot of others, they are FAR from having even close to the best games
 
I agree here, I haven't touched mine since I got the PS3 and my 360 back...I haven't purchased a Virtual Console game since Oct 12th.
 
i'm playing bleach shattered blades right now :lol is awesome.... and next week naruto clash of ninja revolution and zak and wiki will be released soo i have more things to play with

Whoa, nine days. That must be like a record for you. :D

This isn't really surprising though. The Wii is marketed towards casual gamers, who may not be playing on a daily, or even weekly basis. Gaming just isn't what they want to devote their spare time to.

Yeah if all else fails...I'm just turning my Wii into a Virtual Console...lol
 
I guess I never stopped playing mine. I mean... madden is a lot of fun on it. I played Metal Slug to death on it. Geometry Wars and Mario Galaxies now... Metroid 3 (don't own it... will later).
I did have fun with Trama Center ... Wii sports... Wiiplay, and a few others have provided me with a lot of fun.

Right now... there is a lot of crap coming out for it too... and I am a little disappointed in how developers have been progressing. I don't understand why many developers are releasing crap... someone needs to be smacked with a wii-mote.

They can make 9+ rating games for the system... I guess many developers don't know what the heck to do.

they just need to understand that the motions don't make the game...like nintendo games have been doing (or zack and wiki and trauma center) it was almost the same thing with the DS so i know they'll get better
 
They're still learning how to use motion, so in the meantime, they pump out crap that sells so they can still make profit.

Key words "pump out crap". Doesn't matter about profit...us as gamers want good games.
 
I'm one of those seven people who own a Wii and haven't been playing it. I'm bad.

Mega just got me Sim City though! And I have RE: UC. So I shall not be a statistic much longer. :D

Well, we do have several good games. Not to mention, one of the key reasons they make crap that sells is to test out motions so they can have good motion control in good games.
 
well nintendo and other 3rd party companies are doing the good work of combining motions with gameplay so it doesn't feel like a gimmick
 
I just hope more third parties give us more good games. I expect good games out of Nintendo but it's nice when a third party game is good, too.
 
Yeah, like Zack and Wiki, that showed what third parties can do.
