Well since my responce means the world to you. Everything in the article i though was good. They way it does not hold back on crappy wii 1st and 3rd party games, how it mention many multiplatform games selling the least on the wii.  A fact that is very denied on here.

A good part

"Publishers need to realize that casual gamers don't play games very often and hardcore gamers don’t give a crap about crappy games. And while the Wii looks like a great opportunity for video game publishers to cash-in on a gullible and naive consumer (i.e., the casual gamer) gamers and video game journalist really need to step up and let their voice be heard against this pathetic and money-hungry tactic."

and my favorite.

Alternatively, Nintendo really needs to step up and be the guiding light for other publishers out there. They need to either regulate the kind of quality that’s being put into these games or at least show that the Wii can have quality made games that match their quality made retail prices. Because after Metroid and Mario are out and about, gamers will be left with Nitro Bike sequels, unplayably bad Ghost Squad shooters and Alien SyndromeNitro Bike sequels, unplayably bad Ghost Squad shooters and Alien Syndrome spin-offs.

Well first has no problem with the first part if it wasn't that he then complains that Wii owners doesn't buy the crap. I mean isn't that the same arguemt?

The last paragraph is intressting because if not Metroid Prime 3, BW2, FE, Mario Galaxy and SSBB is stepping up and showing the way what is? Other than that if Ghost squad and Alien Syndrome is bad games they wont sell and if that is the case we wont get more of those either. The whole arguement this articel is has is going in a circel. First Wii gets a lot of crap 3rd party games, then those crap games isn't selling which is bad, then later one he complains that Wii owners will get even more crap games because they sell? I don't get it.

It gets even better when he complains about RE4 sales isn't good when they actualy is on a good way to pass what capcom excpected.

Then a question to the whole crowd, isn't Nitrobike made by the same company that made Excitebike64? Wasn't that game good?
