I never said it didnt have a good lineup of games, I said compared to the amount of AAA ip released this year on the ps3 and xbox 360, its not so stellar.

 

That means 2 things, but neither of them is "the Wii had the worst 2008 lineup."

1) The majority of gamers don't care about Metacritic ratings.

2) Game reviewers really prefer shiny games, whether they sell or not, and whether anybody else likes them or not.

Game reviewers are obsolete.  Don't bother with Metacritic.  Develop your own tastes.  You don't need those nerds to tell you what is good.

 

leo, do you enjoy games that aren't AAA?  What are the lowest-rated Metacritic games you enjoy?

Metacritic shows how in step reviewers are with the PS3/360 and you can see a clear causation between high reviews and high sales.

Metacritic also shows out out of step reviewers are with the Wii and you cannot see a clear causation between high reviews and high sales. Both Wii-Fit and Mario Kart scored 80s and yet they sold in the 10s of Millions.

I agree with that, but it makes it impossible to compare PS3/360 game reviews with Wii game reviews.
