Hmm, I think the problem is that this list does not contain some of these Games (Although I do not like them all):

Final Fantasy XIII - Sucks
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Sucks
Resident Evil 5 - Sucks
Resident Evil 6 - Sucks
Devil May Cry 4 - Sucks
Metal Gear Solid 4 - Great
Assassin's Creed - Sucks
GTA 4 - Great
Red Dead Redemption - Better on 360
Dead Space - Sucks
Mass Effect - Better on 360
Elder Scrolls - Both better on 360
Dragon Age - Sucks
Batman - Both are great
Bioshock - Better on 360
Borderlands - Sucks
Demon's Souls - Sucks

Honestly, the Wii's 3rd Party is very weak compared to the PS3 and the X360. It is partly a fault of Nintendo, since most of the Games just couldn't be ported to the Wii due to technical limitation and due to Nintendos Control scheme. And since the Wii could not transform the install base into proper sales figures for most developpers the Wii never saw a good support. Some Games even got a version for PS3/360 and one for Wii/PS2/PSP Version... Somehow the Wii felt like its own Generation and it is very telling that games like Just Dance or Carnival games, etc are among the Games with the highest Sales on the Wii.

I really wonder how the Wii U will do. Will the Wii Crowd upgrade to the Wii U or will they have lost interest in gaming... This will be a very interesting christmas season.

Lets not drag the Wii down now. 


Sure, Wii may have only one excellent third party game but with the exception of the two great Batman games and GTA 4, every single fantastic non-exclusive PS3 game is better on Xbox 360.

AC3, Just Cause2, RDR, SFxTekken, Batman AA, Goldeneye Reloaded, etc. all say hi

True, but the PS3's and 360's first party games fall far short of the Wii's, so  it kinda balances out.


no they dont, well 360's first party games might, but wii exclusives fall short of those of the ps3's


First party games and exclusive games are not the same thing. If we're talking about fantastic exclusives (90%+ on GameRankings and/or Metacritic and 9.0+ Game Spot user score), all three consoles are equal:

Wii

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Skyward Sword
Xenoblade Chronicles
Metroid Prime 3

PS3

LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3

Xbox 360
Gears of War
Gears of War 2
Gears of War 3
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Forza Motorsport 3

Go ahead and dispute me. :)

I appreciate the sentiment behind this post, but Mass Effect 1 and 2 are exclusives?

Maybe you could make a case for Mass Effect 1 because it was on the 360 for six months before PC, but didn't 2 launch on PC and Xbox at the same time?

Bah, neither of them can even break the 90%+ or 9.0 mark on GameRankings, Metacritic, or GameSpot's user score. They idle in the high 80's. I'd give them another chance but there's too many 90%+ and 9.0+ games out there to play these days so I'd rather waste my time playing more of them. Maybe they are good but for the sake of this argument, facts are needed. I know review scores and user scores aren't facts but they're closer to facts than sole opinions for many opinions are greater than one. Actually, scratch all that. I just enjoy pissing people off by telling them their favourite games suck.

Can't make a case for either of them, because it was never exclusive. Even if one wanted to make that whole "console exclusive" argument, ME1 is still being released on PS3 in less than a month. Negating its exclusivity to 360

To me a fantastic game has to have a 90%+ review score average and 9.0+ user score average. All of those games except Red Dead Redemption, which is better on Xbox 360, and Arkham Asylum, which I actually mentioned when I said "with the exception of the two great Batman games," fall short.

To be fair, it does have some amazing exclusive gems, like Sin & Punishment 2 and Monster Hunter 3, but its seriously lacking in the multiplat department, and I say this as someone whose favourite console this gen is the Wii.

You mentioning Sin & Punishment 2 just goes to show how poor Wii third party games really are.


Sin&Punishment 2 is a great game! But is it second party, produced by Nintendo.

Wii has not a fantastic 3rd party game library but it has some fantastic third party games.

Mass Effect is being released on PS3? Don't they understand that both consoles are destroying each other's uniqueness by stealing their games? It's so annoying. Well all three consoles are tied for the time being. Once Mass Effect comes out for PS3 then Xbox 360 will be behind one game. And yes I'm not counting PC.



luigiman5555 on 09 November 2012

Wait a second, both Mass Effect 1 + 2 are coming out for PS3. Okay, that will scratch two off Xbox 360's list.
