Welcome to vgchartz :D

The ps3 has amazing games, resistance is considered one of the best FPS out, and Ratchet and clank is also amazing, also CHECK gamerankings UNchartd has a 90.

Besides, the wii has NO GAMES AT ALL that attract the Hardcore, All of there games attract mainly 13 year olds or smaller. Except MP3(which still has not sold 1 M).

My theory is that kids want the wii, the hardcore and older teens despise and dont want it. I know because Im in high school, and only an idiot would get a wii over a 360. Not saying anyone on the site is an idiot(90% of the site is Nintendo For life gamerz never played a playstation or xbox..), The 9th graders brag about how great the X360 is, and the ps3 is a suck fest(just because the xbox had better graphics they think the 360 has better graphics than the ps3..)
The sophomores are neutral, jouniors duuno, seniors are 360 fanbots.

the answer is already given
but you could have come up with it yourself if you would have thought three seconds about it before making this topic

all those people buying the wii or having a wii bought for them, don't care about those lists of yours as much as you do

u don't get the point what games does wii offer compared to ps3 n xbox 360?

 That's such a good point it deserves to be quoted.



I Blame Wii Fit!

If you were asking what games does Wii have to compare to PS3 and 360, then I apologize for my previous doubting you. I may have miscontrured your comments.

That being said

Released:

Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime 3
Super Paper Mario
Wario Ware Smooth Moves
Rayman Raving Rabbits (the best version of all because of the controls)
Mario & Sonic
RE4 (the best version because of the controls)
Zack & Wiki

Upcoming
Wii Fit
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Mario Kart
Okami (will be the best version because of the controls)

The list is dominated by first-party titles. And almost all third-party are Capcom.
Also, I tried to make it exclusives -- or noted why when I did not .

I think bushkadush was trying to paraphrase what everyone is saying... by then going on to say "u don't get the point what games does wii offer compared to ps3 n xbox 360?"

well firstly it doesnt matter what list of games are thrown at you that are available on the Wii as you seem convinced it has an inferior line up and to your self this may well be true.... but thats not the case with other individuals, people have different tastes (believe it or not)

Secondly.. well actually as more of a side note you should learn to type more coherently or you will get accused of being schizophrenic (by people like Fimbulvetr lols)

If it passes 20,000,000 and is still selling at its high rate I am confused.

 Its pretty much there already, one more shipment



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Dude.. you are like the second youngest regular on vgchartz.. most of this site is in their late teens or older, and since you said 90% of the site is nintendo fans, that would mean plenty, yes plenty, of wii owners are above the age you specified
