I think the PS3 is doing better with games then the Wii. I think that the PS3 covers a bigger range of genre's then the Wii, and I think it has better games in alot of the genre's that the Wii does good in. Also, there're a few games comming in the next few months as well. Games like Lair, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Warhawk, and Madden 08. Seriouly, I I don't get how the Wii's Libray would be more diverse then the PS3's. The Wii is looking like the Gamecube (which is a very promising thing) then it is the PS1, PS2 or SNES. The problem is, the Gamecube really only had games that Nintendo fans would like. I see the same thing with the Wii, only with popular mini-games thrown in. However, I think the PS3 is looking like a smaller PS2 in terms of it's diversity; it's library just isn't as large as the PS2's. I just don't think the Wii is for everyone like the PS2 was...

 

So the Wii has 21 well-received games on twestern's list, including:
a unique action-RPG,
a legendary action-adventure,
a racing game,
a port of one of the greatest games of this decade,
Pokemon,
a movie license,
Sonic,
an original property,
four sports games, aside from Wii Sports and Wii Play,
two gangster games,
three sequels to DS games,
and two games full of minigames.

The PS3 has 12 mostly well-received games on your list, including:
a legendary fighting game,
a ported legendary Western RPG,
an FPS original property,
a Japanese RPG,
Ninja Gaiden,
a racing game,
two sports games,
Sonic,
a mecha game,
a stealth FPS,
and a gangster game.

I think that the above competing lists indicate that it is in fact the Wii that has a more diverse lineup than the PS3, covering a wider range of genres. It's true that the Wii has nothing like Virtua Fighter or Oblivion, but then the PS3 has nothing like Zelda or Paper Mario.

As for what's coming down the pipe, I really think that it's not the best move for a PS3 advocate, in 2007 at least. Mario Galaxy. Brawl. Metroid Prime. NiGHTS. Umbrella Chronicles. All in genres the Wii has not exploited yet.

"Wii is just a minigame machine" is a popular misconception that, like many such, does not stand up to even five minutes of honest inquiry. You do yourself a disservice by simply repeating such falsehoods, let alone trying to justify them. Yes, the Wii has more minigames than the other consoles. No, the Wii does not have more minigames than anything else. Not even remotely close.

I think it's already clear that the Wii does not and will not have the lackluster third-party support the Gamecube did, and in fact NINTENDO's support of the Wii is stronger than it was for the Gamecube. (i.e. Zelda, Mario, Brawl, Paper Mario, Metroid, all in the first year-and-a-bit; what awesomeness will they give us in the future?)

Extremely excellent post! Don't think I can agree more honestly.  

I have to compliment the fact that rather than bashing one console over the other you show the strengths of both and make your point with that. Well done.
