good post. the wii cant be dead in a year and a half. its getting better 3rd party support than any other console, and nintendo has ALWAYS had the best platformers, and no one can argue that. thanks to the platformers, nintendo consoles could never die, and the Wii the greatest nintindo console to date, and no one can argue that either. so now, if you cant argue any of those things, then how can it die...ever?
Just because they have gotten "some" third party support I don't think they will still garner "the most" simply because they will be missing out on a large chunk of HD only games coming from all 3rd party devs to both the PS3/360. Simply look at the release schedules for the systems currently. Both 360 and PS3 have more games coming on tap than Wii does. So how is it they have the most 3rd party support?
If you consider Metroid, Zelda, Mario to be the best platformers. I guess.....but I grew up and out of that phase.
I can name a few platformers that would certainly challenge Nintendos these years.
Wii is the greatest? Lets see if it can top the Nintendo before we argue that. That's a pretty tall order in and of itself.
I see a lot of people saying Launch numbers don't mean anything. So I'm inclined to wait and see. I might get a Wii one day, but for me I could spend 200 bucks better. On a video Ipod, or a PSP which has much more functionality. At this point in life and technology I'm simply no longer interested in products that only do one thing.
