Congrats Nintendo. This generation belongs to you ;)

btw. the only reason why fanboys are so adament about the Wii not getting third party support is because they are afraid what will happen when it inevitably does. Look what the Wii has accomplished with a couple big first party titles alone... I'm afraid to see how badly it would slaughter the 360/PS3 when it does.

its selling well, but why would anyone be afraid of the wii getting third party support? i think it is important for nintendo to build that back up.

You need a special avatar just for you so everyone knows what post to glance over. Elmo sold out for 2 Christmas holidays, now he's in the value bin at the Toys'R'Us, crying.

I don't suppose one of us has to bring up the most obvious contradiction to your statement, do we?

Hard to say that it's an achievement when the GC was such a failure.

But it is an achievement especially as it will soon outsell the Xbox 360 which has had a year head start and a lot of third-party support.

Actually, GC sold 21.6 million. Also, Xbox sold 24 million. Big difference.

True, but it's probably the most incredible turnarounds in videogame history. I think if there's one thing that Nintnendo can be lauded for it's dominating the market so strongly after such a poor run

As gamers we naturally prefer the PS3 or the 360 (and the DS for handhelds) but the Wii will probably win this gen thanks to casuals and that's a remarkable achievment

Sales have been the most important indicator of who is winning for as long as I've been in SW.  Everyone is pretty lacking in software so early in the gen.  There's like 3 or 4 games out now that I'd like on all 3 systems.

It seems that every thread about the Wii's software gets spun into "WII IS TEH MISSING AWXSOME PS3/360 MULTIPLATS"

Despite the solid lineup for the Wii it is generally disreguarded by the Wii-hater because they can only take one fact at a time.

It's just as true as the usual hater flat-out ignoring titles coming out exclusively on the Wii that would otherwise had been on many of their own wanted lists.

Battalion Wars 2 is a solid-looking title that any gamer should be excited about, yet it's never mentioned by haters. And you know they don't think it's worthy when they don't even bother to bash it.

Are you kidding me? The first party games are lame. a few party games and a couple of gamecube game ports. I will admit, SUper Paper Mario was awsome, but Zelda was pretty lame.

Sorry, but 1st party Nintendo and lame don't really belong in the same sentence.  It's pretty much the reason they are still in business after the Gamecube.  If you're not impressed with the Wii's current 1st party lineup, wait for Brawl, Galaxies, and Corruption.

Well this thread isn't bad like the other ones.

I honestly don't hate Wii. But I post my honest opinion and it's ussually negative.

But since this thread wasn't really negative to PS3 or 360 i posted something positive.

You are joking right?

Nintendo is known for it's excellent games. They make some of the best games EVERY single year.
