FPS = ps3 has killzone2, COD4, haze, UT3, xbox360 has UT3, halo 3, COD4 WII has nothing except a wannabe FPS like metroid prime 3

RPG's = ps3 has FF13, white knight story, xbox360 has mass effect, fable 2, wii has absolutely nothing of interest

ACTION/ADVENTURE = ps3 has god of war 3, devil may cry 4, ninja gaiden sigma, MGS4, GTA4 xbox360 has ninja gaiden 2, devil may cry 4, too human, splinter cell 5, GTA4 WII has possibly another rehased zelda game with no voice acting

overall the 2 best genres IMO FPS, and RPG

wii has nothing for those genres, all they have is tired unevolving zelda franchise still with no voice acting....

Not really - the 'hardcore' nintendo fans go for nintendo systems for nintendo's games -- which are all present.

This sort of thing is across anyone looking to own only one console.

You miss out either way.

exactly what genre is the 360 going to miss out on?? The only one I can think of is JRPG and they've got Blue Dragon and that other crappy one coming out later.

smash bros is contender for best fighter of all time, much less best fighter on current gen consoles this coming holidays

mario contends for best platformer

BWii contends for best RTS (not sure about the genre exactly)

MP3 contends for best FPS

ever ocean maybe contends for best exploration based game

We dont know much about FF:CC the crystal bearers other than that it will very different than the GC games before it. Might contend for RPG of the year

Zack and Wiki has no competition in its genre, nor does ghost squad and RE:UC

Who knows what nintendo does with mariokart wii...

pikmin 3 will come eventually. Probably late next year

So, even if you dont like these games, I dont see how wii owners are missing out 'so bad'

how dare you say i'm not a gamer and dont know what a genre is. I only own Wii as my console. I have my DS for portable and PC for other games. Really you have no right to say that kind of statement.

Yes and every other consoles this generation are missing a lot of party games, platforms and Anime based games. (Yes, I'm even talking about the X360)

The only title I could envy from Sheep are the Zelda and Mario games, all the other kiddie crap is just annoying. 360 dones miss out on anything else, sucks to have only a wii as a primary console.

Not everyone has the same taste. Wii only owners are either casuals or fanboys. In either case they only really care for Nintendo games so why would they care about what's on other consoles?

would have sounded less fanboyish without the "wannabe fps and rehashed zelda". Because Unreal 3, Ratchet, etc can be considered Rehashes.

Also Metroid Prime is not a wannabe FPS. its not an FPS stop trying to insult it. ITs always been a hybrid shooter since it was first made. Is Bioshock suddenly a wannabe FPS.

Also so far Wii owners(still mad at Nintendo though) got or are getting

Zelda TP-action/adventure AA here. 95 on meta critic
Superpapermari-2D platformer AA here. AA on metacritic.
Resident Evil 4- Survival Horror AAA here. AAA on metacritic.

*getting*
Smash Bros. Brawl- fighting
Metroid Prime 3- Hybrid FPS/action-adventure
Mario Galaxy- 3D platformer
Fire EMblem- strategy rpg
Battallion Wars 2- strategy
No more Heros- action
DQ swords- RPG
FF chrystal chronicles- RPG
Zack and Wikki- Adventure game
Manhunt 2- Action
Disaster- Action
Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles- Survival Horro rail shooter
Nights- platformer
Dewys Adventure-platformer
etc.

There are lots of games coming to the wii. I just wish Nintendo didnt sell out and made those games there focus instead of some stupid non gamer crap.

Yes, that's what I meant to say. Wii ONLY owners who have /no/ intentions of buying another console arecasuals or fans of Nintendo who only have interest in Nintendo's games, not anyone elses.

I agree. But, it's really their loss, though. Open-minded gamers are the real winners in my eyes...too bad we also probably spend the most...

I know I can probably never convince any MS or Sony devotee of this, but I have simply never enjoyed FPS's. Ever. So why don't you tell me exactly what my options are?

I would love to have better graphics (except that Mario Galaxy looks amazing by any console's standards), but you're just going to have to believe me when I say that the PS3 and 360 simply do not offer enough games that I'm genuinely interested to warrant a $600 purchase or 33% chance of hardware failure.

Trust me, it's not denial or jealousy; I, and many other gamers really do enjoy Nintendo products more than the competition, alright?

This is some serious wii hate. It's gotten to the point where even owning a Wii makes you non-gamer or a casual. Yes, because I really want to fit in to your elitist definitions of what a gamer is and isn't. Jerks. Anyways, you missed tons of genres. You do realize that just because Zelda games play very similar to each other, does not mean it doesn't innovate. TP might not have been the greatest example, but look at WW. It had a completly different graphical perspective, it had an ocean, it had islands, it had swimming, it had a lot. It evolved so much from Majora's Mask and OoT. We see all these threads bashing the unoriginality of Nintendo, yet no one stops and says "hey, FF series hasn't been original since number VII." Yes, it's true, the FF series hasn't been very original since FF VII. Why? Simple, the formula hasn't changed. What we get year in and year out, is a different story, a different setting, and the exact same game play all the way up to number 12. And what happens when they change the gameplay? They get much worse, IMO, story. Nintendo innovates a lot more than people think. Just because they brand their series Zelda, does not make it unoriginal.

They are missing out on a ton of games. When I saw Star War Unleashed, Call of Duty 4, and GTA4 and RE5 trailers, I knew I made the right choice.
