Don't you think there might be some bias here, posting this in the Nintendo section? >_>

No More Heroes, at least to me, is far and away the best game for the Wii.

Probably Brawl. Overhyped and overpriced.

What? :? There is a large difference between owning a company and a console. A company needs to have everything as good as it can be to succeed. Gaming consoles don't, they just need to have good games in their libraries. Nobody is forcing you to buy bad games. Basically what you've been saying is that, "The Wii has had some good games this year, but since it's had more bad ones it's had a bad start." So if a console had 100 great games in a month (not sure how, it's just an example) but 400 bad games, would you sitll say it had a bad month? nintendofreak_2

Yes. I would still say it had a bad month, without a doubt.

Ugh, no.

Look, say Brad Pitt stars in only two movies for 2009. In one of his movies, his acting is hailed as excellent, but in the other, he does a poor job.

Should we judge Brad Pitt's prowess in acting this year solely on the first movie, just because he was good in the first one, and in the second one he wasn't? Or should we also look at his other movies? I don't know about you, but the answer seems obvious to me. 2009 was a good start, but still tarnished by third-party games.

Ugh, look...Oscars and Emmies are irrelevant in this example, because they're given on a single movie basis. They don't evaluate an actor's entire career over a year, they evaluate one movie that the actor was in. Something equivalent would be Gamespot's Game of the Year award.

But here we're talking about the console, about the performance of the console and its games as a whole. And in my opinion, in that case you don't just judge on positive aspects.

Let's give another example. I own a gaming company, and my employee and customer satisfaction is plunging. The company itself is almost bankrupt. However, my sales are going up! Does this mean that I'm off to a great start? Of course not; even if there are positive aspects, you can't just ignore the bad ones. They're part of the equation here too.

Wut. I never said they were great, I said they can be considered 'real' games, and they can be used to judge a console. I don't see any reason as to why they can't be used to judge.
