@Vagabond :
There is a difference between Nintendo consoles and other consoles.
Nintendo first-party usually dominate the top 20 in sales by a 4-1 ratio.
It is the inverse for Sony and Microsoft.

Just listed (finally) to the posting. It seems to me to a be a combination of "let's recycle old untrue lies about the Wii" (i.e., it does not move software -- debunked here, by NPD and Nintendo itself) and "let's lament the potential end of hardore gaming."
Basically, you have a bunch of guys complaining about changes in gaming that they don't like and can't understand.
Honestly, I cannot take seriously any people who as part of a formal on-line presentation decided to debate the definition of cluster f--k.

I don't see how that's remotely relevant to what  I said. Nintendo does sell a crazy amount of software on it's system (not something to brag about given the reason)...that doesn't change the fact that it's system is getting crumbs compared to every other platform and the number of quality titles that have come out in the past year and especially the holiday season pale in comparison to every other platform save for the PSP. You do hold a console accountable for it's games, people don't buy a system for the system, they buy it for the games, the bulk of which come from 3rd parties.

 

And for your OT post, that too is just a completely irrelevant strawman. Who cares if game party is selling like gangbusters? It sucks. Not because it's casual, but because zero effort and zero budget went into creating a game that preys on the ignorance of the consumer. I don't care about the "end of hardcore gaming" I love Wiifit and boom blox and all the other QUALITY accessible games are that made. But there is a severe lack of quality casual games and quality hardcore games, quality games in general. 3rd parties put almost no effort towards the wii and Nintendo can't produce 16-24 high quality games a year in varying genres to support it's own platform. That's why it's being called a turkey. A gross lack of quality games in the past year, that's not to say no quality games, but in competition with all other platforms a lack of quality games across all genres, casual included.
