Well I have yet to hear a great longlasting 3rd party game coming from the Wii's side. Which is kinda disappointing. I mean, RE4 wiimake.... really? Did they really have to do that? I mean... at least Nights is finally an original 3rd party game (albeit a Saturn game franchise, but still).
You also have difference in the market targets.
So you essentially expected a 600 hardcore console to outsell a 250 casual console. Congrats are "teh winnar." Casual always wins the bet, but here's the thing. It's all about the long term outcome. The only chance Wii has is if developers decide to put EFFORT (not I capped it so this is important, yes I'm talking to you Nintendo 3rd party) into their games.
When games on the Wii look worse than the gamecube.... we have a problem. It seems like a fast cash-in. I mean I love my Wii (chuckle), but in all seriousness Nintendo needs to find a way to secure a good third party exclusive.
PS3 has these long-awaited epic third party games.
Nintendo says: Gamers don't like epic games.
Erm... last time I checked God of War was an epic millions selling franchise... so... yea... not buying that.
I'm looking forward to Brawl.. but... you know where are the games? It's about the games. Where's that epic FPS that has that nice quality polish to it? Or that epic RPG you're waiting to long to have? I mean, even 360 has that.
but when you buy a Nintendo console, you're essentially buying it for the Nintendo exclusives.
FFXIII, MGS4, Heavenly Sword, Killzone, are just the cusp of the games that fit most of MY interests. I can't wait to play some games on the wii, but the passing day shows that that console wants to mostly appeal to the person that isn't me.
