Honestly, it's pretty pathetic sometime when I read topics about why wii is gonna fail. Mostly all the reasons are:

1. SHOVELWARE: Zomg111!!1 teh crappy third party support!!.
C'mon guys, have you forgotten about the ps2 already? it is the KinG of Shovelware. games were coming out ever other day and making money off brand names. Look at Wii, it's selling faster than ps2, why should it be any different?

2. Third parties will leave them
this is kinda like the first point. People think the crappy third party ports and whatnot and motion sensing will make devs go away. Look at all the games coming out this holiday season: ignoring galaxy you have: MOH: H2, Ghost Squad, Geometry Wars, Soul Caliber Legends, Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga (not exclusive but this games gonna sell with brand name), Resi Evil:UC,too name a few.

Those are really the main reasons that rly tick me off because there's so many important points ignored when these things are posted.

Look guys, Wii doesn't have the best online, but it's getting there, Wii doesn't have the best graphics, but it don't need em, What wii does have is great titles like galaxy and corruption and just you wait, Brawl and Mario Kart are gonna rock...and than there's always the star fox game that will see soon

Wii ain't seen nothin' yet.8)

i agree with this topic . all people do is cry cus nintendo is different . 360 and ps3 are pretty much the same do we really need 3 consoles all alike ? wii graphics are fine smg is one of the most beautiful games i ever played . there is more to games then online play . all 360 games are about is online play these days . wii is getting better online as well .

The thing that alot of fanboys forget is the same people said the same argument about the DS.

Graphics

Fad

No third Party support

No online

Its the same argument just with different console.

It won't fail, but it won't ever be as good as the PS3 or 360. It doesn't even try to be.

The first 6 months the PS2 had nothing on offer but utter crap, if any launch games did indeed recieve a AAA it was pretty piss poor reviewing.

The Wii has already suceeded. It is impossible for it to fail, no matter how poorly it performes in the future.

About 40 percent of the people on this site don't own a Wii. When you don't own one, you flame it, because your jelous of its sucess. Who is really failing this generation?

I don't think anyone legitimately thinks Wii will fail from a business standpoint.

But serious, lol. The games you listed are pathetic.

MOH:H2 ? No thanks, I'll play COD4.
Ghost Squad is like a 45 minute long Arcade port.
SC Legends already is a failure of a spinoff.
Lego Star Wars, ok, these games are enjoyable, but I played them a long time ago.
RE:UC ? Again, I'll take RE5 you have the crap spinoff.

And no, I'm sorry to say, but Wii is not 'getting there' when it comes to online. Friend codes are terrible, everything about the online is terrible. It's not even anywhere near what XBL did the day it came out, don't even start on PC.

Galaxy I agree is awesome, and I'm sure Corruption is too (though I think it sucked, but I was comparing it to MP1, so that in itself is not very fair). Brawl will be good if they keep in Wavedashing, Shffling and stuff (which we haven't heard about yet). Mario Kart is good as well, but nothing special. It's a 7.5-8ish game, hardly a system seller.

Wii is a secondary console, it simply doesn't function as a main console for most gamers.

Sales is a completely gimped argument from a gamers standpoint. Quality stuff never makes top sales, the best marketted crap does. This goes for EVERYTHING, not just games. And unless you have tons of stock in Nintendo you're gaining absolutely 0 benefit out of these sales.

But it doesn't try to be as good though. It took a totally different route to gain sales, instead of competing directly. If Nintendo were serious about making the best console, it would be very similar to the PS3 and 360 and still have the Wiimote. They didn't even try.
