Ya know. I like how it's been explained the the PS2 did so well because it had huge 3rd party support. And tons of those 3rd party games were crappy. But now, that the Wii is getting 3rd party support, and inevitablely crappy 3rd party games come along with that, it's a terrible thing.

::shakes head::

Yes but also it had plenty GREAT 3rd party games, wii does not have those.

Its just a small difference.

 

Just curious Killzone3, since you are criticizing the Wii's library, I figure I might as well ask, do you like sports games?

 

i play them, but not buy them.
i get bored to quickly, at a buddies house with a few others with some money on the game then its really fun.

 

I ask because of this:

According to gamerankings.com, there are 20 PS3 titles with a 7.5 or above and 13 Wii titles with a 7.5 or above. If we take away all sports titles on both sides (including Wii Sports) it becomes 10 Wii titles to 10 PS3 titles. Exactly even. My point is simply this: Depending on what you are looking for in a console, the Wii is getting plenty of good games. There is a misconception that it's library is far below the PS3's at this point because the PS3 was flooded with high rated launch and soon-after launch sports titles. It may not appeal to you, but it's certainly not devoid of any good games.

Not only are they sports titles, they are ports of sports titles, and they didn't recieve massive graphical overhauls a la Ninja Gaiden.
