What I find scary is that almost every one of those titles interests me, and could be a potential purchase - at least. The Wii easily has the best spread of titles across all genres - and for harcore/casual gamers.

Most of the PS3 AND 360 titles hitting will only appeal to the same people who have already bought those consoles (or already intend to buy one). The same doesn't apply to the Wii lineup - and that is what makes it so powerful.

(so if you think in terms of the colour spectrum - the PS3 & 360 are putting out really strong light in one or two colours. It helps the PS3 to have titles like SingStar available, although it doesn't help that the console is still not priced casually. Nintendo on the other hand is generally fairly strong white light - across all spectrums - something that everyone can see!).

(and its not like the Wii needs more reasons for people to head out and pick one up anyway - as its still selling out. This just ensures that whatever extra units are available for Xmas will be snapped up, and that there is sell-out pressure through most of next year).

 

 

Bingo! 

It's NOT that the 360 line is all shooters, it's that all the big games are either FPS or Action; throw in 2 decent JRPGs

PS3 is about the same but has a big adventure game (Uncharted) and a big platformer (R&C), throw in Little Big Planet which is a hardcore game; any game that worships a genre (2D Platforming) adds in level creation and the online play is online.  It drives me nuts when other PS3 owners call it casual.  Oh and the big one GT.

Wii has the FPS, Action, Adventure, Platformer, RPGs, Racing, etc.  It also has the new genre hardcore stuff like Trauma Center.  Then it has the cooking games, more music games (with motion!), brain games, creative games, etc. etc. etc.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
