2008 was the year of the PS3 and the Xbox360 because of Metal Gear Solid 4, Fable 2, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, and Gears of War 2.

It was also the year of both Xbox360 and Playstation 3 for multiplatform games that where unavailable on the Wii.

Most gamers will agree that Xbox360 and Playstation 3 do not compliment each other very well, because most games available on Playstation 3 can be played on Xbox360 and visa versa.

This is why most people have reason to believe that the Wii is only good as a secondary console.

Because both 360 and PS3 gamers have Wii's as secondary consoles, Wii ends up selling more units.

Read this bit carefully because this is how Industry works. The console with the most hardware shipped gets the most game announcements, and because Wii is unique more often than not these games are Exclusive.

Right. As more exclusives are announced, the validity of the Wii as a secondary console becomes apparent.

The neverending circle continues. (This is called "Oroboros") As more exclusive games are released on the Wii, it's viability as a secondary console becomes more obvious as gamers decide that they don't want to miss out on the latest Tenchu, the latest mad game with the Wii controller, or the number of future announcements that will benefit from Oroboros.

Therefore as trend dictates the Wii sells even more units as a Secondary console and therefore more game announcements. As games accumulate the number of households who buy Wii as a primary console increases.

In 2-3 years time, late adopters to the console market will observe the state of consoles and see Wii has benefited from the aforementioned philosophical oroboros. At this stage it will become the primary console on the market. Nintendo will have won the war.

This year in colour:

Exclusive 2008 announcements for Wii

Arc Rise Fantasia


Captain Rainbow



Castlevania Judgement


The Conduit


Wii game of E3 2008 - Gametrailers

Cursed Mountain


Deadly Creatures



Fatal Frame 4

The House of The Dead: Overkill


Little King Story



MadWorld


Mushroom Men



Overlord: Dark Legend


Red Steel 2


Rune Factory Frontier



Sonic and the Black Knight


Tenchu 4




Zack & Wiki 2 ( informal)

I prefer a PS2 as a secondry console to my PS3. I'd much rather play Ratchet and Clank than Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games!

Those games look poor! Resistance 2 and LBP eat them

Pretty good topic, I hope to buy some of those games (The Conduit, WarioLand, Madworld, Red Steel 2 if its any good) depending on their reviews (apart from WarioLand, will definitely get that)

And why not include Animal Crossing Wii?

arc rise fantasia, kizuna, dawn of the new world. Pretty good so far. There's that namco mothership title being worked on the wii right now as well. Things are stepping up in the third party development. Now if only nintendo makes their first party games faster. But then again, you can't rush quality.

Secondary Exclusives for a Secondary system. This was bound to happen and I think everyone was awareof this already, but unlike th PS2, your GOOD 3rd party is still pretty poor.

IMO those are my least favorite high scoring games for the Wii. No More Heroes and Zack & Wiki where much better.

Metroid Prime 3 was good too.

plod2

Right. That's a valid argument.:roll:

Here, let's take one really crappy game as an excuse not to like a console: I prefer my Wii over an XBox 360 or PS3. I'd much rather play Super Mario Galaxy than Viking: Battle for Asgard! That game looked like rubbish! Pikmin 3 and Animal Crossing will be so much better.

sad thing is people expect the wii to be full with freaking sequals, yet the console is coming out with new properties. people can hate all they want, but the system is producing fresh new games on both the console front and on the wiiware front.

Yeah there are some really great wiiware games but its just that they're not appreciated here on System wars as they have low GS scores whereas they have a lot higher scores on other sites (Lostwinds and Final fantasy both scoring below 6 on GS whereas they scored above 8 on IGN)

Yeah I'm starting to not even bother, the people just can't be bargained with, seems like until the Wii starts getting 20 different shooters a year it's never going to be "hardcore" enough for them. Meanwhile I shall be enjoying my unique and different Wii games.

Mad World, Wario Land, Cursed Mountain, The Conduit, Red Steel 2 and the new House of the Dead are all must buys for me. I'll be getting Star Wars: TFU on Wii as well for the controls. That'll more than make up for the 6 months of meh us Wiiers *gormless laugh* have endured :P

Fatal Frame 4 and Madworld look rad. The rest of the list is a big "meh". As usual when you list upcoming Wii games, Tony, it only validates my continued lack of one. I'll be buying Castle Crashers, Tales of Vesperia, and Infinite Undiscovery in the next few days. Now thats satisfaction of a gaming need, Amazing how hard it is to keep up with all the fantastic X360 games coming out, in 2008, "the year of the PS3", isn't it?

It was probably the best decision to put it it on the lead console. It couldn't really be ported to PS3 very well.

I stopped reading even before you posted the pictures TC. The 360 and PS3 complement eachother extremely well. They both have great exclusives either already released or coming up this year and I would hate to give up one of those consoles...Especially for a wii.

Agreed that Xbox360 and Playstation 3 are a must for all the multiplatform games that do not make their way to Wii but neither Xbox360 nor Playstation 3 work as well as a secondary console as the Wii because they're A: Extremely similar, and B: share most of their library with one another.

PS360 is like videogame incest.

i'm hyped for the 2 games out of those that will actuallybe any good.

the vast majority of those are merely shovelware games, developed by shovel ware studios to make a quick buck out of the wii. i mean last gen the ps2 had tons and tons of games like these. but not all of them were even close to good.

Out of all of those there are 3 i might buy.(HotD : Overkill, The Conduit, Red Steel 2)

But atleast one of them is likely to end up in the 'Ok and nothing more' 6 to 7.5 range. And i don't think any of them will be AAA.

EDIT : Also if TC really thinks the reason Wii sells so well is because it's a secondary console, then he's sorely mistaken imo.

Out of those games listen only 8 will be defintly added to my collection(Conduit, Cursed Mountain, Deadly Creatures, Fatal Frame 4, HotD: Overkill, MadWorld, Mushroom Men, Z&W2).. A couple others are maybes, 8 games to keep me happy till Nintendo's own games come out again. I guess, I dunno.. there are some that I'm gonna get that were omitted from this list.

More is not better.

1 high quality title on the PS3 is better than all of those titles put together (take your pick, there are a few this year).
