While i can agree on brawl being one of the biggest titles of the generation, MKWii isn't. It's just another little yearly release that's doing crazy well because there are a huge number of wiis in existence and it's actually fun to play.
Brawl is selling really well, even better than Melee, and Melee alone made the Gamecube a non-failure.
Oh, and if Nintendo is in trouble for releasing Brawl and MKWii, then so are Sony or MS (depending on what flavor of fanboy you are) for already releasing what is WILL be their biggest games of the generation (Halo 3/MGS4)
Anyway, the claim in the linked article is that nintendo isn't really thinking about any more accessories. Again, if not releasing accessories = 'running out of steam', then the PS3 is way more out of steam with, what, 3 accessories (SixAxis, DualShock3, PS3 Eye) and the 360 is super boned with no major accessories! (Sarcasm) Note: I'm not a fanboy. Really. |
What exactly do you mean by "biggest title of the generation?" If we're going by sales, MKWii looks like it'll be the best selling game of this generation (unincluding Wii Series). A "little yearly release" that sells more than any other game is not just another game. Otherwise, you could say the same about a game like FF7. Also, by sales, MGS4 isn't Sony's biggest title, not even close.
If you're going by innovation, Brawl hasn't done much new either. Nor has MGS4, for that matter. Big innovative titles would go to LBP, Wii Series, etc.
That only leads to the assumption you're talking about game quality (opinion or reviews). However, for these companies making the games, that doesn't mean anything. Sales / money talks, the "hardcore" niche make up a very small % of the total people that buy video game consoles - their opinion is only worth the money they spend, no more. Remember that less than 5% of the PS2 population bought the MGS games on that console.
