they know sony wont let them down? isnt that basically what sony did, let them down? they made the by far most expensive console, and for what? so games can be so expensive to make for em that it loses all its 3rd party exclusives?
the wii sells because its not just fun for gamers, (that includes hardcore gamers such as myself) but for the whole family. actually a friend of mine whos a sony homeboy actually said the wii is worth paying 250 for just for wii sports. he might be right, but he didnt exclude the other games. zelda is much more fun for the wii. red steal, might not have been the best rated game, but it gives an expirience that no other console has. that is slashing with your sword and aiming realistically with your gun. warioware, it is fun for everyone, and the stuff it does is only possible on the wii. excite truck, alot of fun and steering with the wiimote is a new expirience. all the platformers nintendo has makes any nintendo product worth it. zelda, metroid prime, mario games, SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, BABY! who doesnt like that game? seriously. wii sports, wii play, both great reasons, not to mention other sequels to that simple game, (i think its called wii fitness). playing sports games like madden is amazing, simply amazing. i think most hard core madden players will agree, made on the wii is simply AMAZING. it got a higher review than all other 07s for the other consoles and handhelds.
another thing, some of the big games you sony fans like to think of might not be so exclusive. a GTA port to the wii is still a very much alive idea. KH comming out for the ps3 AND Wii is a big thing on the table right now. it very well may happen. guitar hero is possibly comming out for the wii (most likly, although nothing official), dance dance revolution is comming out (or has it already come out?) and can be revolutionized with the wii mote worked in. (anyone whoes played the final boss in warioware knows what im talking about)
did i miss anything?
Sony hasn't let me down yet. I have games to play, and I'll have more later. Sony lost 3rd party exclusives because the 360 has a decent number of consoles out there, but not all of them for sure.
As for the Wii, I agree that it's great fun for lots of people and I plan to get one (I was going to get 1 sooner but I'm busy with the PS3 for now). However, let's not stretch the truth. Red Steel has bad controls and there are plenty of games that had light guns before. Remember duck hunt? Yeah, those have been around for awhile. As for slashing, the same thing is possible with the PS3. In fact, 2K7 uses a "swing" motion to hit baseballs. (Just played the demo yesterday.) Warioware was on the gamecube, granted the controls may be more fun. Wario gets old soon, at least according to most reviews. Warioware is the 2nd highest rated Wii game at only 82.3% on gamerankings. Granted, I'd like to rent it.
Now, something you just flat out lied about: Madden 07 might be the 3rd highest rated game on the Wii so far but it was beat out by the ratings on both the Xbox 1 and PS2 versions. I think most "hard core" gamers will agree that the defensive controls were not on par with normal controllers. And for some reason EA did not put all the features that the last gen games had in the next gen games. This year, most sports games will look a lot better on the 360 and PS3; I hope the controls are far superior on the Wii to compete with that. Basketball with a wiimote? Should be interesting.
*sigh*. GTA would not be the same game on the Wii. The Wii could not handle the graphics. Kingdom Hearts, we shall see, but the game would certainly look better on the PS3. Guitar Hero and GTA are already on the 360 as well, but I suppose the Wii might get it. Big deal, the 360 has downloadable songs, would the Wii version? I'm glad you are on top of all the rumors for games going to the Wii, but some games will just not play as well on that system.
Btw, stop giving away game elements such as the Zelda stuff above. I will play the game eventually and I don't want to know what happens. So yeah, you missed a lot of stuff.
