[QUOTE="Super_MooRio"][QUOTE="nitekids2004"]

I'm pretty sure everyone's looking forward to its lineup next year! :lol:

nitekids2004

Xenoblade got the highest reviews of any JRPG this gen.

It's funny how people list the game both as a 2011 and 2012 game :lol:

And one game? seriously? :lol:

What do you expect when there is the WiiU coming next year?

PS1 had great games into 2000. N64 had Paper Mario in 2001. PS2 had an excellent lineup in 2006. Possibly its best year. PSP has great games going into the Vita's launch. This was an amazing year for the Vita.

Successful consoles do not typically wind down prior to a new hardware release.

That isn't entirely true. There are never many quality games releasing towards the ends of a consoles life span. Granted, the Wii has been unusually pathetic. It has been dead for a full year now, and the WiiU is at least a half year away. Nintendo has done an almost unbelievably poor job of transitioning to the next console.

Its actually really funny you mention that. In my college apartment my friends have a Wii in addition to my PS3, hooked up to an HDTV. We only use the Wii for netflix, and the occasional round of Mario Kart. Nothing else. I'd use the PS3 for... better netflix, but she is the one with the Netflix account and will only use it on the Wii. So we're stuck watching things in inglorious SD. The PS3 is used for, other things. My one roommate is a gigantic fan of Red Dead and all of the girls in the apartment seem strangely infatuated with the Assassins Creed series.

[QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]Doesn't matter if it has a unique library if that library sucks and hardly has any good games and the games for the most part sell like crap. Sure the Wii has a lot of exclusives that I can't play on the other consoles. Problem is most of those exclusives are games nobody cares to play.AmazonTreeBoa

Actually, alot of people care to play them.

Sells proves you wrong. Pretty much the only exclusive on the Wii that have sold well are first party. Like I said. Most of those exclusives nobody wants to play. If they wanted to play them, then they would buy them and they don't.

I'm sorry, but sales determine gamers interest in games as much as critical scores does.

But PS2 had many quality releases and PSP is the same (in Japan). Moreover, I'm pretty sure the SNES did too.

The Wii seems like a pretty poor job in general to me ...

Are you really that slow or do you just like acting stupid and completely clueless? That's exactly what sells determine. If a lot of people are interested in a game, then they buy it. If not a lit are interested, then the sells reflect that. This isn't rocket science you know. So stop acting as if it is and use you head for something other than a hat rack. Low mean low interest. SHEESH you sheep with try to defend the Wii even when slapped in the face with common sense.

Sale = Item(s) sold, not sell.

Just because I could. First you talk about the quality of the library, then you switch to sales and interest. Which are you trying to argue? Sales don't indicate quality, only consumer awareness.

The Wii has stood on it's feet as the least powerful system and has supported itself with amazing first party titles and came out on top.

The HD twins are great but they are both extremely similar.

The Wii is a complete mess and this is coming from someone who owns one along with a "ps360". I do get enjoyment out of playing mario kart online with my 12yr old daughter though so I guess it's worth it.

Netflix hd is glorious! My ps3 serves as bluray netflix and my xbox gets all the games....

The quality is my opinion and there is nothing to argue there. If you don't like my opinion, that's your problem, not mine and I will not argue my opinion with you because I just don't care what you think about my opinion. As for how many units of a game are sold. That is a clear indication of the level of interest in a game. If you disagree, then all I can do is laugh at you, because I am not going to argue facts with you. They don't need me to defend them.

Lineup is garbage, horrible graphics, no multiplats, and no HD. So many better multiplats on PS3/Xbox/PC. Wii owners have missed out on some of the best games of all time.

PS3 or 360 or PC >>>>>>>>>> Wii.

If your purely into cartoony games and games designed for a younger audience, then I can understand ones love for the Wii.
But when theres far greater games and alternatives elsewhere, why bother? Including 'kiddy' and 'family games'.
2 or 3 games and the amount of sakes warrant the Wii as the best console? :lol:

The Wii deserves to get bashed because its more about the sales and making an easy buck than actually raising gaming standards.
Look no further than Crysis and Skyrim

It feels mighty small next to 360 and PS3.

Skyrim Wii pwnz...

trollop_scat

Maybe not Skyrim Wii, But Skyrim WiiU surely could. Read: http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/24/bethesda-wii-u-skyrim-definitely-a-possibility/

And Yes TC, most of the time it's pure Jealousy. Take Tatsunoko vs Capcom for instance. Perfect example. Fanboys were HEATED that it didn't come out on their console of choice so they came up with a RIDICULOUS reasoning why they would'nt buy it. That Reasoning "Nobody knows the characters"... :? Really? Nobody knew Blazblue characters yet they still went out in droves and bought it. Nobody knew Skullgirls characters but yet people bought it so that excuse is a lame attempt of an excuse of reasoning that they didn't want to buy it just because it was on the Wii (Which still surpassed Capcom's expectations. I can't wait for Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 on the WiiU)

This is why most "Hardcore" (Since it makes them feel better about themselves) gamers of today are complete fail. Take note people.

Such a laughable comment :lol: You do know that there are non-cartoony and non-kiddy Wii games right?

And you just admitted that Ps360 has those games :lol: which makes them kiddy

Better than Ps3 and 360 only having one good game each :lol:

Line-up: It has a lot of great games, quality is subjective Graphics: Uh Skyward Sword? SMG1 and 2? Darkside Chronicles? typical HD snob Multiplats: Has multiplats, but hey there are games that Ps3 and 360 don't have HD: Uh so? The Ps3 and 360 don't have games like Monster Hunter 3 therefore they suck See what i did therE?

Blazblue and TvsC sold similarly. Also for reference, TvsC is much much better than MvsC3.
