| cura said: I think the wii's exclusive lineup is mediocre at best though I am looking forward to a couple of wii games in 2009 - punchout and wii sports resorts in particular. I just wanted to say though, whilst the wii may have the longest list of exclusives, it misses out on the majority of triple A projects by 3rd parties that both the 360 and ps3 recieve, and without those efforts, the wii's lineup looks even slimmer. The wii misses out on some key games such as Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, Final Fantasy XIII, Tekken 6 and Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams - all of them gracing the 360 and ps3. Then you've got a whole array of 3rd party games that whilst may not have the same hype and expectation of the aforementioned games they'll probably end up being pretty decent nonetheless. Both the 360 and ps3 will be getting FEAR 2, GodFather 2, Fight Night Round 4, L.A. Noire, Just Cause 2, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Red Fraction Guerrilla, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Prototype, Tom Clancy's HAWX, Bionic Commando, Dark Void and Brutal Legend. Now, some of these games may end up being mediorce but some if not most of them will end up being great additions to the 360 and ps3's library. (Not sure if any are planned for the wii, correct me if I'm wrong!). Anyway, I just wanted to say that although the wii may have the longest lineup of exclusives (which I personally don't think matches either the 360 or ps3's list) they do not get the same quality or breadth of 3rd support that the 360 and ps3 recieve and it makes their lineup considerably worse. Yes, there are quality 3rd party efforts like Mad World and The Conduit and maybe more but they hardly put a dent in either the 360 or ps3's lineup (my opinion anyway!). P.S. I'm not purposely bashing the wii - the technical capabilities of the console precludes many of the games that are hitting the ps3/360 from hitting the wii otherwise it would be getting them as well. I only mention 3rd party multiplatform support because it goes hand in hand with exclusives - if either is weak the consoles software lineup suffers. At least in 2009 it's is somewhat (though minimally) alleviated by 3rd party exclusives for the wii. |
And there we go: the goalpost moves another 100 meters away from its initial position. It's almost out of sight.
