[QUOTE="Iyethar"][QUOTE="joeamis"][QUOTE="Iyethar"] [QUOTE="joeamis"]Content? The Wii is lacking in quality games more than even the PS3. Another Nintendo drought just like on N64 and GC, but its okay right because half baked ports of old games on VC more than makes up for it lol. I got GeoW and it was okay, not my cup of tea, but I have countless 360 games other than it that are great. GeoW is not an instant turn off, when its well on its way to selling 5+ million copies in its lifetime.joeamis
That is pretty much not competing with something like Wii Sports then. Content is King, and Nintendo has been crowned.
That made no sense. And how is Nintendo king of content when it has the least amount of good games of any system, even portables?Hello? Does the phrase "#1 selling games software publisher in the world" mean anything to you? Nintendo took the title back from EA in 2006, you know.
Your personal opinion is not relevant to this discussion. It can be quickly countered by stating that there exist other people who are of the opinion that Nintendo has the most good games on their current systems.
The sales are how we can tell which opinion is in the majority. So far things look very bad for your point of view.
You quote me and all you type is that GeoW is not competing with Wii sports THEN. Which is true, but the "then" in your sentence makes no sense. Then you type "content is key and Nintendo has been crowned" with nothing else. And now you're trying to say that because Nintendo is the #1 selling games software publisher in the world, the Wii does not have a lack of good games. But you fail to realize that we're talking about the Wii, not Nintendo's total software sales (which would include GBA & DS). It doesn't matter if there are a portion of people who think Nintendo "has the most good games on their current systems". By your logic because Nintendo has the most total software sales by combining all their software sales on Wii, DS, & GBA that somehow means there is not a drought of quality Wii games. Ya, that makes a lot of sense... Let's compare software sales for Wii to other systems... Software Totals: Console--- Month------ Total: FEBRUARY 2007
PS2---------------------------2,372,750---- 424,561,500
360---------------------------2,080,750---- 30,652,750
DS----------------------------1,974,250---- 42,076,000
Wii----------------------------1,590,250---- 7,866,250
PSP---------------------------1,023,000---- 29,861,000
GC----------------------------523,000------116,437,500
XB----------------------------516,000----- 166,826,250
PS3---------------------------438,000----- 2,684,750
Well not king in content, Wii doesn't have as many games, hasn't sold as much software. XB360 games cost more & sell more than the Wii. Take away the Wii Sports tech demo and software sold on Wii drops by a lot. In DEC 06 Wii only beat PS3 out of every single system/portable for amount of software sold and PS3 had less than half as many consoles available. Also compare XB360's tie ratio to Wii's now or at same points in their life cycle and 360 has a much better tie ratio... Wii looks to be continuing Nintendo's trend of having a slow release of good 1st party games, with lack of good 3rd party games, receiving ports from other systems. I guess you can look forward to ports of PSP & PS2 games on the Wii... http://www.vgcharts.org/amonthly.php?date=39114

Xbox 360 has a one year head start in North America, and a multi-million unit lead at this time. I wouldn't expect the Wii to sell more software units this February. Next February I do expect it to sell more software units.
The good third party games will come later this year, and they will never stop. Nasty PSP and PS2 ports are just to mark time while the third parties get their asses in gear.
You don't like the Wii's library. That's an opinion. I have to say that I've been unimpressed by the third party efforts that have showed up so far. But in my opinion, Wii Sports alone makes the Wii's software library much better than the PS3's.
I think that you'll find out presently that there are people in the world who hold the opinion that only a console with a software library that includes Wii Sports is worth their time. I think you'll find that there are enough of them to send Wii straight to the top.
