[QUOTE="brennan7777"]

[QUOTE="screechmario"]This is why we go by Gamespot scores. So opinions like yours don't get in the way of discussion.screechmario

He's right though. A wii's AAE is hardly comparible to a real next gen consoles AAE.

Link to Gamespot employee saying so?

Well I've investigated the system wars rules and such a little more carefully, and it seems that using Gamespot scores as the be-all and end-all just applies to "official hype" and whether a title "flops" or not. It certainly does not mean that I cannot have an opinion different from Gamespot reviews and express that opinion. While the Wii may have several 7-8 rated titles under it's belt so far this year, there are even more great titles that the Wii was completely left out on. Sony has released two 9.0 PS3 exclusives as well as a 9.0 Sony multiplat since February, and Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter 4 both scored at least an 8.5. Multiplats may not count as "ownage" material, but they are still games that the Wii doesn't get, and when it comes to the E3 heavy hitters about to be elaborated on such as Alan Wake, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Mass Effect 2, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13, etc. etc. etc. I would not want to miss out. To each their own though, if you are content with just the Wii lineup that Gamespot deems "A/AA" then you are in great shape.

You didn't know? Anything negative said against the Wii is just coming from a fanboy.

If a gamespot employee publicly said it, the site would lose many customers, and he would probably get fired. They still think it however.. The thing i love about sheep is they are always bragging about the amount of AAE's they get when all wii games are exlusives. Then you bring up a AA game that wii isnt getting, but still isnt exclusive and it doesnt count for anything.

So this is like a conspiracy then?

Yes a conspiracy that you were left out of.

There is no way to prove bias, but I have to logically believe that if all the Wii games were measured against the exact same set of standards as an X360 game, the Wii would have to be docked on technical aspects such as graphics, physics, and sound, because the hardware is technologically inferior. It would simply not be fair to judge all platforms by the exact same set of standards. This doesn't mean Super Mario Galaxy wouldn't be a 9.5 game on the X360, but if it was released in the technical state that it was in on the Wii it would be docked severely in all the technical categories. If you disagree, fine, but I think it proves that not all systems are created equally, and all the software is judged with this in mind.

it's true that nintendo cant compete to ps3 now when it comes to games , i have both consoles and playing only ps3 now, the 2nd half of 2008 until now there has been nothing interesting released for me at all since disaster day of crisis , i like the wii , it's first year was cool but it seems that nobody actually wants to release good games for it except nintendo itself and waiting for games sucks , ps3 has constant good releases the last months but wasn't so good before when nintendo had it's bright moments thanks to 1st party games

What has Nintendo done with their status "on top", for you as a gamer? Do you think the sales to quality games ratio is comparable to that of the PS2, over the same period of time? Personally I see a much heavier casual focus this gen from Nintendo, and there is nothing casual about how I game. I am not a non-gamer or an occasional gamer that needed a kick to get me into gaming. I am a jaded gamer of over 20 years who has seen it all and I think that besides it's stellar first-party offerings like Mario, Smash Bros, Zelda, and Metroid, which are truly world-class, there is a serious lack of consistent, great game releases. As I said, if you are just as happy with ExciteBots as I am with Empire: Total War, Resident Evil 5, or Killzone 2, there is nothing wrong with that, it's just clear that we are two totally different types of gamers. It's great that Nintendo has expanded the market, but I think they are creating entirely new customers, not necessarily stealing Sony or Microsoft's. Guys that are salivating over Alan Wake and God of War 3 aren't going to suddenly shift their focus to Wii Music because the Wii is selling a lot. The Wii is making strides with games like the Conduit coming up, but at least thus far, there have been some seriously dry patches for Wii owners.

I don't play with my wii that much at all ( Lol )

I just said Nintendo is king, and they are for saving the console industry. and i respect them for that i may not love their systems every gen (N64 FTW !) but that respect is still there for them, it always will be, people tend to forget without Nintendo sony would have never even made a console, Sony thought entering the console industry was stupid and childish......Kutagari brought it up and thats what they told him they have no interest in 'Children things'.....it was looked down upon.......thats what everyone at sony thought, Kutagari working with nintendo is why the Playstation exist. the playstation was basicaly the 'Super nes' before it actualy became Playstation.

Don't speak to me about profit when Nintendo is setting records and Sony has been losing money.screechmario

and im playing real and harcore games and you still awating for them while waving your hand in g@y manner and balancing yourself in a ficnional balance for virtual yoga, who cares nintendo is higher sales, sony is better im gamiing and has laways brought more to the industry than nintendo (expect for some expections)

you have no games to play and you turned on sales.. sad

The games argument isnt really working anymore bud.... Wii has 6 AAe titles and 6 Ae titles already in 2009 ;) Now we have the sales and the games.

I really hope you dont mean that a few AA and A titles are better than lots AAA and AA titles.

But what if gaming ever goes under? Nintendo would be bankrupt immediately. Sony on the other hand would be fine. Gaming is not all they do even though it's one of their biggest divisions. Sony has it's hand in just about everything. Both them and MS.

I would have said the same thing for GTA, FF, elder scrolls, Mario, Zelda or any other great series of game.

If you can't take the fact then thats your opinion not mine.

Good for Nintendo. I'm glad Wii Play is still selling lot hot cakes, however, as a gamer - I'll take a huge pass on Wii Play. Sells means little past keeping a company in the running. Only way I'd really, truly care about sells is if one of the big three are falling out - and that aint happening.

You sure about that? Seems to me if that was the case then last gen the industry would have went under with how the Gamecube struggled on the market. Or are you just talking about this gen?

I think that he is saying older companies are worth more which is a truth. Seeing as how Nintendo was founded over 100yrs ago and Sony around 65yrs I think, i'm not completely sure you will have to check wiki or something.

I guess if you talk about how much money they make. But if you're talking about market dominance then the combination of ps1,2, and 3 are more the nes,snes, n64 and gamecube

But now, Wii2 needs to be really good.

Tis true. Nintedo started out in early 1900's and they first started out as a cards company with characters like mario and peach on them.

They are one company who really know what the consumers want, and by consumers i mean majority consumers, not these harcore gamers who think there better than everyone else.

Completely agreed.
