Honestly, I don't really care about many of Wii's games right now but I still love playing it. It's just that, not a lot of games interest me that are coming up in the next year or so.

HEHE. Nintendo is only killing in console sales. There are soo few games for the wii even coming up that are wow i want. There are some but not a lot. MS has a ton coming up and is still selling pretty well. Sony however isn't selling well and doesn't have that many good games coming out that soon. Nintendo is clearly not smoking everyone with the wii.

Wii is not trumping neither Sony or Microsoft..Last time I checked they both had more, better games than the Wii. You heard what Moore said, the original Xbox sold 11 Million consoles from August 2004-05 due to those top 3 games, only this time you can only find those 3 games on one platform. Whos to say that wont happen again. Sony showed alot of big games that really are a staple for them in the long run, while Nintendo showed off more casual friendly n00bness. Those 110 million gamers are still waiting to by a next-gen system because of its games and the only 2 platforms that provide satisfaction in that regard are X360 and PS3.

I see alot of people blaming "ignorant" consumers for the fact that the Wii is trumping the 360 and PS3

Why not blame Sony and MS?

E3 was a perfectly good chance for them both to show some big new game announcements,

and yet all we saw from them is games that were already announced...

in the mean time Nintendo announced one big new game in MarioKart, and what's going to be a HUGE new non gaming IP in WiiFit...

If MS and Sony are to have any chance against the beast that is Nintendo they're going to have to try alot harder than this.

jedigemini

I think you are the only one on that ship buddy, Nintendo had a horrible showing I expected a lot from Nintendo they do notgive a darn about the hardcore gamers at all they just want to stack up the casual market with a bunch of popcorn games, well good luck with that my friend.

1 game does not reach out when 25 others are ok to horribly poor games. There needs to be equal balance and nintendo doesn't get that. They figure they will give you 1 game and you will sit and beg for more 6 months later.

Please, they need to make it equal because this E3 was awful for them.

I know, eh? One little press conference and it's the sign of the apocalypse. Wii Fit is just one game in sea of awesomeness that is SMG, MP3, and SMB:B. Plus, it's not even going to be out until next year. I still don't get why everyone is so worried.

MS has a conference in about 2 months called X07, they were probably waiting for their 2008 titles to be announced then.

Nope. But PS3 had a great conference.

I usually have my PS3 tag in my sig but it got all X'd out yesterday. So what does MS's lack of new IPs have to do with Nintendo? They both had bad E3's that showed nothing new.

Because you just stated that Nintendo have no new IPs... just like MS then, glad we can agree on that.

Took you 5 edits to ge that paragraph out?

Honestly, Besides Mario Galaxy and Fire Emblem Nintendo has nothing for me, a long time old-school "Core Gamer" that buys 30-50 games a year.

Smash Bros. is a pile of dookie best saved for drunken multiplayer and Metroid is too much of a shooter now for me to even care when I can play better ones on my other consoles.

Who focuses on the bad games instead of the great? It doesn't make sense... unless you have some kind of subversive agenda...

Oh, and there's more to E3 than just the press conference. This hands on that IGN had, the one sending them into fits of ecstasy, is from E3.

Sorry a couple games does not mean this company is still about "the gamer". One game doesn't mean ****. It's a state of mind they are in right now, casual players are the new cash cow period. They are right and you are wrong....didn't they say that.

Nintendo delivered on all fronts, hardcore and casual. Hardcore gamers can't have everything, sorry. The rest of the year will be great for the Wii, with Smash Bros coming out early December.

Again you have to research good Wii games because we don't hype up crappy games just because they look pleasing.

the wii gets more crap games then any other system, the wii gets more casual games then any other system, the wii gets less "gamer" games then any other system... fact
