IMO greater competition and diversity in the video game industry is a good thing

wii hasn't been competing with the ps3 or 360 until mid 2010.

and diversity is good, always good, but that depends on what type of diversity, and the "diversity" (which in my opinion isn't diversity at all but I won't go into that because I'll probably get banned again) the wii brings is definitely the wrong type of diversity.

In my opinion the industry would be A LOT better off with Nintendo being a 3rd party publisher, instead of a hardware manufacturer.

*note my feeling towards the wii are exclusive to the wii and NOT Nintendo*



The fact that most of the shovelware is ported from the PS2, it would have just moved over to the PS3 without the Wii around.



 

^^^thats funny i dont remember any exercise games on PS2, or dancing games, or Icarly, deer hunters, dora the explorer, Bacheolor games, biggest loser. oh thats right there werent any, care to elighten us on these shovelware ports. And actual video games ported from PS2 is not shovelware (Bully, Tomb Raider, RE4)

Ok let see, on the PS2 we had the great AAA titles like Teletubbies, American Idol , Animal Soccer World, army men, Australian Idol Sing, Bad Boys II, Beatmania, Bratz,  Britney's Dance Beat and i could go on!

So for the shovelware ports to the Wii, Cars,Guitar Hero, ice age, Ninjabread Man, Rock 'n' Roll Adventures, Myth Makers, London Taxi, Action Girlz Racing, Billy the Wizard, Kidz Sports, Over the Hedge, Rock Band, Rogue Trooper, AMF Bowling, Barbie, Brunswick Pro Bowling, Cabela's Big Game Hunter, CID The Dummy, British Motor Racing, Diva Girls, Hannah Montana and Anubis II and so many more that i don't have time to list.  

As for dance games don't you remember Dance Dance Revolution and it 15 sequels, Dancing Stage, dance UK or Dance factory.

he means the bullshit that wii fans spout when they say crap like the ps2 had the same amount of shovelware as the wii, which it didn't, and the shovelware it did have sold like utter shit unlike on the wii where it becomes the highest selling software in gaming history, furthering the wii userbase from that of the ps2.

Fact if the wii failed this gen would be short 90% of the crap shovelware it's now buried under.

 

 

 

edit: In my opinion
