I bought 3 games last year I prefer to No More Heroes, which considering I only bought 5 games must mean NMH is a bad game right?
True one of those games was Metroid Prime 3, which was released the previous year, but then going by American release dates I could add Endless Ocean int if I lived over there, as I wouldn't have been able to get it for Christmas like I did here.
Games (retail) I bought this year, in order of my personal taste for greatness:
1. Mario Kart Wii
2. Battalion Wars 2
3. Metroid Prime 3
4. No More Heroes
5. Zack & Wiki
Endless Ocean would fit between MKWii and BWii if needed, while Lost Winds and Toki Tori would lie between NMH and Z&W.... and my only dissapointment of a game last year would sit way out in last place: Sin & Punishment.

You just made me think about how many Wii games I bought in 08... in no order, but enjoyment (+) vs crap I(-)...
Bully (+)
MLB 2k8 (-)
Alien Syndrome (-)
Wii Fit (+)
No More Heroes (+)
House of the Dead 2&3(+)
Battle of the Bands (-)
Guitar Hero World Tour (+)
Fortunately, everything except for MLB 2k8 was a bargain bin game, and I did enjoy for a bit, but wore off quickly.

Wow... I really would only have bought 1 of those games (NMH) and the only other I would even consider is Wii Fit.
This is why the Wii is selling well, jst like the PS2 it has a wealth of games substantial enough that most people can find at least 10 games they want on it (and gamers like us can find considerably more)

That is why the Wii is selling so well.
As I have said before, the majority of all gamers are casual (otherwise why is the attach ratio for all systems between 5 and 10 games) Even I as a more avid gamer couldn't find 10 games I am willing to pay for on the X360, I think I would for the PS3, but not many more... and it costs more to start up so the extra games are not fully worth the extra price.
On the Wii I could probably name 40 games I would buy at a push, and certainly at least 30.... I likely won't buy that many in the long run unless I come into some cash.
On the GameCube, over it's lifespan I could probably only name 40 games worthy of purchase, so despite me liking the games I have it's a good enough reason for the majority not to buy it.
