As a Nintendo fan I feel relief with the current drought.

True, but it's the same for all consoles. We're talking about Q2 ONLY, so UP TO JUNE, ONLY.

And as others have already said, there's only a couple big games for each console in Q2. It's a summer drought, it happens for all consoles.

Oh, you can add Carnival Games to the 360 list if you'd like. We aren't gonna buy it, but it'll still be a million-seller. So just because the games will sell millions, doesn't mean they're good games, SOCOM 4 is an example of this if reviews are correct.

I don't know how you can think that the Wii, which only has two notable games to your recollection in Q2 can be in the same situation as the HD consoles.  

After April which had Mortal Kombat and Portal 2 the notable games in Q2 that will release on HD consoles are: L.A. Noire, Witcher 2, and Brink in May as well as Infamous 2, Alice: Madness Returns, and El Shaddai in June.  That's 6 notable games on HD consoles (I even cut a lot out like Fear 3 and Hunted: The Demon's Forge) in those two months compared to one controller tie in game on Wii.  The situations are not nearly the same.  You can say "well it only has ____ games if you're saying a platform has a drought it shouldn't be dependent on your taste in games but just how many notable games in general are releasing on the platform, and in that measure the HD consoles are completely different from the Wii in Q2.

 

Quite a contradiction coming from the man who said he wasn't getting a 3DS till games he liked came out on the platform  

In reality it's all about your tastes I haven't bought a 2011 game on the PS3 or 360 since Little Big Planet 2 in January.  There are two sides to a "drought" one being the games that are coming out, the other being games you want that are coming out.  One is factual based on the numbers, the other is subjective and depends on the person, so from person to person the "drought"could be going for all platforms or just a couple, but then you have people like the topic creator who needed some time to pick up old titles for the cheap and finish titles he hadn't beaten on the console, technically for him there is no drought as those titles are brand new to him.
