Everyone here who is saying that the quality of Wii games are below par and site reviews as their proof are complete idiots.

Game reviewers are biasied idiots. If they see that it's going on the PS3 or 360, nine out of ten times it'll get a 9 or above. I hate seeing games like Halo 3 or GTA IV getting 10/10's when the game was barely fun at all.

Everyone here who is bashing the Wii's library should do the following:

1. Go to your local gaming store, such as GameStop
2. Ask where the PS2 section is
3. Realize that you're looking right at it because 1/4 of the entire store is dedicated to the PS2
4. Look through all the used ps2 games
5. Realize the shit the ps2 had on it


90% of the PS2 library was uttershit. So, with your logic that the massive amounts of "bad" games on the Wii will kill the industry, this gen shouldn't even exist now.

The difference is when the uttershit for the PS2 came out. It wasnt in the 1st 2 years of its life.  More "bad" games on the Wii have came out early simply because some pretty poor quality games have sold very very well. Thus the bandwagon jumping started really early.

 

 

 I disagree on two levels. 1) There was no bandwagon jumping on the PS2, the third parties expected the PS2 to be the marketleading console.  2) PS2 didn't get the games it is remembered for until late 2nd and 3rd years on the market. Its first yr was actually, pretty crappy.

I don't get this idea that the shovelware for the PS1/2 situation is so dire and different for the Wii this gen. The only difference I see is that thirdparties completely wrote the Wii off and to everyones surprise the Wii is the Marketleading console. Other than that shovelware has always found its home on the most succesful consoles.
