@theprof00: It's true, Nintendo is sort of doing their own thing right now. Here's the situation:
- Third parties decide not to support the Wii? Less competition for Nintendo = more first party games bought.
- New games cannot possibly sell any more systems. The Wii is still supply constrained, 26 months after release...
- You said yourself, you're a future Wii supporter. I think most core gamers are - Nintendo isn't in a hurry. They'll eventually get around to everyone.
I can see why one would be pissed off at Nintendo for this, but I don't really mind. I have a gigantic backlog of games as it is, not to mention I have a PS3/360/DS to hold off if there are any gaps. Hell, since WoW covered me for so long (04' - early 08'), I just bought 3/4 of these consoles 2008.
I bought a Nintendo console only expecting Nintendo games, so as long as I get ~6 good games a year, I'm set. So far, the system has delivered more than enough for me. It's also undoubtly the main console for local multiplayer, as the HD consoles are much more focused on single player / online play.
@BTFeather55: The deal is done. Race is over. For anyone who was skeptical of it, well: DQX sealed the deal. MH3 is a bonus.
