This is Why People Say the Wii Has A Horrible Game Library

Okay so for the first seven months of the Wiis release, these are its top rated games, not counting the VC titles (which would have changed the list DRASTICALLY, as they unfortunately make up most of its top 10 games)

 1. WarioWare Smooth Moves 9.1

2. Legend of Zelda TP 8.8

3. Super Paper Mario 8.8

4. Madden NFL 8.4

5. Super Monkey Ball BB 8.3

6. Rayman Raving Rabbids 8.0

7. Trauma Center Second Opinion 8.0

8. Wii Sports 7.8

9. Sonic and the Secret Rings 7.6

10. Godfather 7.6

Average score of top 10 games: 8.24 

X360:

1. Oblivion 9.6

2. GRAW 9.2

3. PDZ 9.0

4. Project Gotham 3 8.8

5. Call of Duty 2 8.8

6. Dead or Alive 4 8.8

7. Burnout Revent 8.8

8. Kameo 8.7

9. Rockstar Table Tennis 8.5 

10. Top Spin 2 8.2

Average score of top 10 games: 8.84 

PS3

1. Oblivion 9.5

2. Resistance Fall of Man 8.6 

3. NHL 2k7 8.3

4. Fight Night Round 3 8.2

5. NBA 2k7 8.2

6. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 8.2

7. Virtua Tennis 3 8.2

8. Call of Duty 3 8.2

9. Tiger Woods 07 8.2

10. Def Jam Icon 8.1 

 Average score of top 10 scores: 8.38

Now keep in mind that these are all games within the systems first 7 months of release. Notice how there are 3 games in the top ten of the Wii that are in the 7s, whereas at least ever game in the other 2 are above eight? Also, notice how the top 3 games in the Wii are all first party? Isn't this the same trend Nintendo was trying to buck?

So please don't get mad when people say the Wii doesn't have a good library compared to the other systems first six months of the other two. The facts don't lie. 

the problem is you used opinions to create "facts".  Just because it's a number doesn't make it a fact.

The wii library is weak though even the high scoring games don't interest me too much.  Besides Zelda and Madden I don't really see any other game I'd look forward to playing. 

I think that the wii has a better library than the PS3 (Most of the quality or worth buying titles can be found on other consoles), the 360 has the best IMO.

But if 3rd parties dont start jumping on the wii bandwagon, the ps3 may pass it up, and the wii will be another gamecube, amazing first party games, but lacking third party.

No gears of war on the 360 list?Gears360

you give the ps3 way too much credit here

you listed one exclusive

when i compare libraries, i'm not really interested in the averages of a bunch of multiplats

especially if the ps3 only has 1 superior scoring multiplat... less than the wii

compare the ds launch to the psp launch... which was more horrible there?

 compare the DC launch to the PS2 launch... think about this topic again

All three next gen consoles will have good games eventually, why do people need to find fault with them... It was the same last gen but all consoles ended up with AAA killer games.

Same will happen again

you give the ps3 way too much credit here

you listed one exclusive

Good point, but keep in mind that the PS3s library is stronger than the Wiis library BECAUSE of those multiplats. Maybe if the Wii had the capability to have those games, it would make its own library more impressive. Exclusives don't always equal better games, as you can see.

 Edit: I see you edited your post and I'd also like to add, whether you are not interested in multiplats does not change the fact that those multiplats scored higher than the exclusives on the Wiis list.

why are you trying to argue about the score of launch games though?

look at the DC or DS launch versus their competition...

if we've learned anything, it's that launches don't matter as much as we think they do

and i'm way more of a sony fan than a 360 fan

but theres no way the ps3 launch looks decent, even with the multi plats (why? well.. when the wii has more higher scoring multiplats than the ps3... that's scary--even if the ps3 does have MORE, you're not getting MORE if you own a 360 or a pc.. and honestly, nobody should own just ONE gaming platform if they consider themselves a gamer)

nobody is shelling out 600$ to play the latest version of tony hawk rehash with no online compared to the 360 version

xbox has a lot of great multiplats too... thankgod i didnt waste my cash on a crappier version of my pc though... all i missed out on was NG and PDO basically

Some of those games on the PS3 list can also be found on the 360.VGobbsesser

But not on the Wii. 

When has 8.2 been horrible?

Thats "great" by GS standards.

All that proves is PS3 is redundant and overpriced 

Some of those games on the PS3 list can also be found on the 360.VGobbsesser

It is also true the other way around but it makes no difference they are still games on the PS3.

inion for fact here. Problem is, the Wii's library is not that bad and has many original titles to spare itself and differ from the competition.

So lest we go by score,t he average score is still "great" by the use of GS's rating system. I fail to see how it's a bad lbrary... and the comparison between competition means nothing, as the PS3 isn't too far, not to mention the PS3 and 360 aren't selling :|... Also not opting to use VC games is also another idiocy I see with people. Why can it not? Just cause they are old titles, does not mean that everyone here or those who buy a Wii has played them all. It's also content still only delivered onto the Wii, unless you wanna track down the old systems and buy ther games with them in working condition too.

Frankly, I bought a Wii because of the VC component as well, so that along with the great new library of games is more reason enough to own a Wii and IMHO make the Wii have the better gaming library. Sorry... I know you don't like it, but it's the truth.

 I would hope so, considering that they are the best the system has to offer. The point I was making was in comparison to the other systems top first games. The Wii is last place in game quality according to these facts.

[QUOTE="Zhengi"]To be fair, the Wii hasn't been out 7 months yet. It's barely reaching its 6th month. There are two games coming out that might boost the score. Big Brain Academy and Resident Evil 4.mjarantilla

 Check your math. Games were released in November all the way through May. It's now May and I included all the months games have been released on each console in their first 7 months.

It sure could use more good games. 

First, the 360 and PS3 got the benefit of being able to get games easily ported over just with updated graphics.

Second, the 360 and PS3 aren't getting PS2 to Wii ports half a year after their release. 

Third, noone has been saying the Wii has an excellent game library.  It will though.

 Listen, I don't know why you are overthinking this. There were games released in November. There were games released in December. In January. In February. In March. In April. In May. I am not counting up to the day I am talking about months that appear on our American calender. These are all months that appear on our national calender and whether they are complete months doesn't change the fact that games were released in all SEVEN of these months and that's what I am counting. I really don't know or care what you are counting.

Not according to your averages... it seems to be just about on par with the Xbox 360 and PS3... .09 and .6 diffrence... man that's a huge diffrence in the quality.
