I think Kesten hates Nintendo more than the Wii.
His next item in his current column talks about Sega and EA's offerings for the Wii.
Wii abides: Oddly enough, it could fall to Sega to keep hardcore Wii players happy. Once a competitor for Nintendo, Sega is releasing three of early 2009's most anticipated Wii titles: the zombie-survival game "House of the Dead: Overkill," the gory brawler "MadWorld" and the sci-fi shooter "The Conduit."
And Electronic Arts, whose "Boom Blox" was one of the Wii's unheralded delights last year, has announced a sequel: "Boom Blox Bash Party." So while Nintendophiles are waiting for news of the next "Legend of Zelda" games, third-party publishers could be keeping their Wiis humming.
But he does miss a lot of harder edge games coming out by a lot of different people -- as Nintendo prepares its next releases and let's third parties do what they can. And people seem to forget that NIntendo has a 4/5 ratio of first-party top sellers on its consoles -- compared to a 1/5 ratio for Sony and Microsoft.
