I actually completely agree with this. I've said this before in another thread:
The Wii is going to be the only console to win NOT because of it's software. But I guess they went the right direction this gen. Sony and M$ have said "you can have all the hardware you want, but it means nothing without software" or something of that nature. Ninty just took that train of thought and wrecked it....but it that good for gamers?

What? If not for its software, what do people buy the Wii for?
Like it or not, people are buying software for the Wii. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Music, etc. are software. The Wii sells because of its games.
If there's one console that isn't selling due to its software (in terms of games, at least), it's the PSP.

Name software that either doesn't have "Wii" or staple Nintendo franchises in it. It can't be the staple first party titles that are making it sell, because otherwise the GCN and the N64 would have sold trememndously (I don't think that the GCN couldn't get to 30 Million because of Super Mario Sunshine, and that all of a sudden Mario Galaxy turned things around). And the whole "Wii (insert game name here)" focus that Nintendo is going after is what's making all the hardcore Ninty fans get pissed.

Perhaps you didn't see the stats from nintendo and NPD that showed 3rd party software on the wii outsold TOTAL software on 360 and PS3. That's just 3rd party software. That was from last year so we have yet to see it from this year but after the holiday season i think we'll see the same thing again.
I'm sick of the wii doesn't sell software argument or 3rd parties don't sell. It's been proven wrong over and over. You might have a case in Japan, but there certainly isn't a lot of big names released yet from 3rd parties for wii in Japan and the japanese console market is getting pretty small.

You mean the likes of Cooking Mama, Carnival Games, and Mario and Sonic, which are all multimillion sellers? You think THOSE are the reasons why the Wii is selling? (Laughs).
I think you jumped the gun, and dismissed my original argument. The Wii will win this gen NOT by having the BEST library. Sure, Mario and Sonic sold like 5+ Million.....that doesn't mean it still wasn't rated 67 aggregate on Metacritic
