Kwaad, you mention only two games of intrest to you in Nintendo's lineup. I am assuming you just don't like the classic Nintendo titles like Zelda or Mario? What about SM Galaxy. Every editor I have read said it is on par with SM64, you mention it was the last one you liked. What about red steel, wii sports or play, battalion wars, Dragon Quest, Project Hammer, Sadness just to name a few of interestingly fun games. Plus the many multi console ports that I think will play better on the wii, though not look as good. I prefer great gameplay and good visuals over good gameplay and great visuals. I agree with you on the 360 and borrow the unit that I bought for my little brother every so ofter when a good games comes out like gears of war. However, on the PS3, all of there once great exclusives are jumping ship and becoming multi-platform items. There are only what a few exclusives left that aren't published by Sony? In terms of ports, Nintendo has the best situation. Xbox has only 2 geat IP's that are MS published, Gears of War and Halo. Sony has about 4, and Nintendo has 10 or so. All of the 3rd party devs are starting to put ports of their best items on all machines because building games is just too expensive to keep it exclusive, plus porting to Nintendo is the least expensive option. As Wii's base build to nearly match that of 360 by years end you will see 3rd parties have ports of all of their best titles to 360 and Wii and Sony will have no more 3rd part exclusives. Sony will be in 3rd due to it not having a much greater hardware tech than 360 and those that want visuals will buy the less expensive maching that has all of the same games. The 1st/2nd place will be between 360/Wii. 360 for hard core, who will also pu probably all machines anyways, and Wii for casuals and families. That might put Wii in the same boat as DS, which is a great arguement to show that Wii could very well blow them both out of the water. My personal prediction.
