With the lack of AAA and even AA games the Wii has it seems Nintendos strategy has gone back to what it used to be, a strategy that let Sega take over 52% of the market nice to know some things never change like Nintendos laziness.

And yet, as a business, nintendo couldn't be more profitable. Why should they stop what they are doing. Heck, even when they were in last place the past two gens, they made a ton of money. For them, its all about that bottom line, and right now its looking pretty good.

Nintendo's strategy is a brilliant one, it prints money for a reason. Don't fault them as a business.

At least they play their games not argue over which is the better toy, or buying stuff that only has an "M" rating.

Well I hope not you have to wait about 3 years for 1 AAA game if you waited around for a half decent M rated game for the Wii you'd be waiting about 7. And yes they do argue over which is the better toy.

That is a better list. True, The Wii hasn't gotten a AAA at GS for quite a long time, but if you look at other websites (which I know is forbidden here) there are quite a few AAA Wii games from the recent months.

Nintendo is very profitable. And don't forget the heavy hitters are coming out this year and the beginning of next.

All you care about is review scores which is silly, the Wii makes it up with its great amount of AA games.

AAA games (from Gamespot no less) are not the only games worth playing. Also, they usually post in defense not like the 100s of threads here arguing over which game is shinier.

I don't get why using other sites is forbidden. Wouldn't it be more logical to use Gamerankings or Metacritic? I can understand that this is gamespot site and all but if you are talking about which system got more AAA or AA it would be better to use Gamerankings/Metacritic.

It makes Wii bashers look better by using Gamespot. They're just too stubborn.

If you are limiting yourself to look at GS AA scores, that's very sad. I'm playing NSMBWii right now, and it deserves at least a 9. I know it's easier to play scores rather than games.

As far as determining flops and such, yes GS is the only score considered. However, anyone basing their purchases solely on one gaming website is incredibly picky.

I always assumed that the flop thing was just for laughs but what I'm seeing is gamers taking everything as fact.

Well, that strategy seems to have an end-result of them rolling around naked in a huge money pile... so I'd say it's working real good so far.

At least they play their games not argue over which is the better toy, or buying stuff that only has an "M" rating.

I don't get it. Nintendo fans don't defend the wii on forums like this one? Pretty sure they do. I'm also pretty sure I play my games...a lot.

They post only to defend not to discuss. I like to discuss all the consoles but it's useless trying to hype Wii games because the thread will usually end up with stuff like "oh a rehash" "oh more kiddie games" "looks last gen" etc etc. Nintendo fans are rare in System Wars actually.

Not how that goes I'm afraid. At least for me because reviews and scores are nothing more than opinions.

Wait what? By definition, an AAA game (on average) has more substance and better quality than one that was scored lower.

To win in SW, you need not just AAs and As but AAA as well, that's why SNES, PS1 and PS2 won those gens, but that shouldn't stop you from playing them.

You'd think they have enough money now to open another Retro studios and make more AAA games. It's like they don't care for those games anymore.

You'd think they have enough money now to open another Retro studios and make more AAA games. It's like they don't care for those games anymore. themyth01

I feel like Nintendo is slowly starting to change and is beginning to cater more to its loyal fanbase. You can see this with Mario, Metroid, and Zelda all being released this year. Not only that, they are also making Pikmin 3, Monado, Sin & Punishment 2, and Retro is also making on an undisclosed title.

My point? Don't lose hope in them yet!
