There are no lies in my words, Im basing all of the games off Metacritic 90+= AAA, Super smash, and world of goo were the only AAA titles released on the wii this year. Also sorry, there was no need to mention the wii, but since this was a sales thread, and its obvious the games arent what is selling the wii, then what is?? Thats just what im trying to figure out. 

 

 Just because it isn't adored by critics does not make a game not worthy of consumer demand. We all know Wii Sports sells a ton of Wii's, yet the critics game it a score of 76. That fact alone shows that the opinion of game critics does not matter to the consumer. MKWii is not AAA by your definition, yet it is a system seller, Wii Fit as well.

What you are missing is that the Wii offers a WIDE VARIETY OF AFFORDABLE GAMES FOR EVERYONE. So did the PS2. That's why both of these systems are winners. The PS2 offered ICO & Disney princesses, GTA & Snoopy vs the Red Baron, MGS2 & Scooby Doo's Night of 1000 Frights. It never became #1 by catering to the niche hardcore. It became #1 because it was "The People's Console", something for everyone. If you took out all the non AAA PS2 titles from the PS2's library, you would be catering to a niche market. Sony is doing exactly that.  

There's more to the toppling of Sony's console empire than that, but that is a huge part. The price, the arrogance, the lies, the abandonment of "core values", the delays, the broken promises..... PS3 is exactly were it deserves to be ATM. If sony went back and looked at what made PSX & PS2 succesful and made a console for "everyone" they could gain back much of what they've lost.

Is Sony the republican party...lol?
