Could this be the Wii's downfall?

Tell that to the 2 million (or more ) consoles sold in about 3 months...

hahaha.... ok... you got me. 1.8m regrets... 2.2 million clients satisfied. Even if EVERY PS3 client was satisfied (which is totally false) nintendo would have a lot more satisfied clients...

oh Online for wii is coming and it will make the wii sales skyrocket.NRGCDS

In my opinion, last gen the GC sold poorly due to several factors: the design of the console, the poor 3rd support (it didn't get GTA etc), and it didn't exactly accelerate the industry with the machine itself (no revolution). This gen Nintendo have corrected some of those problems and added even more than what the GC didn't have. They have online, decent 3rd party support, they're brought in a "revolution" if you will, and the design of the console is great.

But I think they've still got the same problem as the GC (which is a major reason it lost): No big-name 3rd party titles.

It doesn't have all those really anticipated games that are coming to 360/PS3 like GTAIV, RE5, GRAW 2, Rainbow Six, Oblivion, Burnout, SSX4 etc.

Do you think this will be the reason the console fails to come on top in sales? Or is this a minor flaw that is countered by Wii's innovative games like Wiisports etc.?

EDIT: I meant big name 3rd party titles. Sorry for the confusion.

How can you think Wii version will outsell the PS2 version though? PS2's install base is massive.

Not that I care about the Wii.

But Nintendo does NOT need those mass marketed titles. They have thier 1st party exclusives and exclusive quirky non-traditional games, and along with a surplus of non-gaming casual garbage pick and play games. The Wii has become a "safe haven" from redundancy and an open portal for new ideas and new options.

Added to that, for the old schoolers, the VC becomes the icing on the cake.
