AAA - 1
AA - 13 (six of these are downloadable games from decades ago)

games rated "mediocre" or less - 32

There are currently over double the number of games rated "terrible" or "abysmal" than there are games rated "good", and you only need a 7.0 for that, never mind the 8.0 and 9.0 + games.

To put that in perspective, there are 168 games on the 360. 50 of those are AA. 5 are AAA. 104 scored "good" or higher, leaving the minority of games being "fair" or less.

So as you can see, currently, as far as gamers go the Wii is easily the worst console on the market. PS3 owners aren't exactly in for a great gaming time either, as the number of games are very small, but there's at least some solid AAs. The wii quite literally has nothing worth playing.

Wow, you really went the extra mile to hate the Wii, didn't you?  I mean, you thought outside the box, the whole nine yards. You've truly outdone yourself.

I dont hate on anything. :| My posts are always unbiased, as i'm not a child. I simply saw the "latest reviews" section of the Wii page and noticed all of the games were in the 4's. I then did a search on all the games and was amazed to find the majority of games scoring 4 and less.

We always have Wii sales numbers rubbed in our faces, i simply thought these were some interesting figures which show the other side of the Wii, that software-wise, it's falling behind significantly.

Umm... and thats why if there were enough to be bought, the Wii would be owning the 360 right now.

However, I do have a 360 and like it ALOT MORE, I am just staing fact. I work at Gamestop and if I have to hear "do you have any Wii's?" I am going to kill someone...

So what if some are VC games? If we didn't count them, there'd still be no decent games on the Wii. :|

The point is Nintendo releases 3-5 VC games every week, and since it wouldn't be wise to release all the classics right away they release a bunch of crap games. Obviously these games have no chance of holding up to today's standards which is how GS rates these games. Also that's your own opinion.

I went to Gamespot's all Wii games section and counted

9s - 1
8s - 6
7s - 14
6s - 8
5s - 10
4s - 3
3s - 3

That's not counting VC games, but I think there were some games missing, idk though.


EDIT: 14 sevens, not 13.
EDIT: 8 sixes 10 fives 3 fours and 3 threes

Okay, now i'm officially done :P

It's not my own opinion. It's the figures from reviews on the very site you're posting on. Currently, there is very, very little worth playing on the Wii. Simple.

Funny, cause according to your numbers there are about 14 games worth playing on the Wii.

In 5 months of release.

Also your comparison between a console out for over a year to one out for less than half a year is brilliant.

TC, didn't mean misjudge like that, but there have been a lot of threads similar to this one today, but with more of a fanboy's vocabulary. I don't exactly agree with using the VC games in the list though...

It was a percentage of quality games to total games, obviously. :|

The games that are good, however, are carrying it forward, and the longer it's out, the less bad games it will get, as games like MP3 set precedents.

I'm not saying that it wont improve. I just see so many sales-figures threads on the wii, i thought it was interesting that so many games released on the machine get such poor reviews. And we're not just talking VC here. Overall, there's more games which aren't worth bothering with than there are giving a try, unlike the other two consoles on the market right now, whereby one has a wealth of quality games to play, and the other doesn't have many games, but the few that it does have are of a good standard.

Simply from a GAMEPLAY standard, i'd say the Wii is CURRENTLY the lesser of the three, and you'd have a tough time disagreeing.

From that other post I see that there are 21 games that are at least "good." Opposed to the 24 games that are iffy, or shouldn't be bothered with. Not bad, considering the movie games and crappy ports.

Lets apply some of this thing called math.

Comparing based on  AAA numbers given.

AAA: 5 to 5

AA:  65 to 50

Other: 160 to 113

 

Comparing based on AA numbers given.

AAA: 3.85 to 5

AA: 50 to 50

Other:  123 to 113

 

Comparing based on Other.

AAA: 3.53 to 5

AA:  45.9 to 50

Other: 113 to 113

 

I think the numbers given show equally matched.

Icnlude how many of those mediocre games are downloadables if you're gonna show how many of the AA's are.
