The way ROI makes a new thread criticizing Wii third party support every week one would think he's not happy with his console...

Interesting theory. What do you think about people who make threads about third party failures on the Wii and suggest that third parties generally should make their games elsewhere, because there's a single example of a game that didn't do well?

My view is simple.
At the time most of you purchase the Wii, were there many third party titles announced or in the work for the Wii?  Answer I would wager is nope.
So why exactly are you surprised those titles are not there?
Buying a product in the hope that in the future it will get stuff it doesn't have now, even if that stuff seems to be common sense is never a good idea...
And if that is not the underlying issue, why do we have to get a few new threads every week criticizing Wii third party support?
And if I am wrong and people are generally happy with third party Wii support, why so many threads criticizing third parties?

First off, I don't think this answered his question at all. 

Second, the bolded part:  When did you buy your PS3?  Would you still have bought it even if you knew for a fact that it would never get another game, ever, beyond what was already released?  Not to mention Blu-ray movies. 

When I bought my PS3 (November 2007), MGS4, GTA4, FFXIII, GT5, Gow3, Re5, DMC4, CoD4 were already announced and in the work. (I didn't buy it in 2006 because I wanted to wait a sufficient library had been released to keep me busy and I wanted to see how things shaped out)

I knew all the sport titles would be supported in the following years too (because they had been released once already) and by the end of 2007 most of the third parties had released or announced a PS3 title (I already knew I was screwed for Mass Effect, thought I was too for Bioshock, turned out I wasn't).

Sony and some third parties have actually made a decent job of laying out a roadmap  for future releases (the only critic would be that in some cases the titles actually are taking quite a bit of time to come out)

None of those count -- they might have gotten canceled, even if common sense suggests otherwise; that was your rule, wasn't it?  Also, there was no assurance that they would be GOOD.  Were you looking forward to Haze and Timeshift as well? 

Anyway, are you really suggesting that we're not allowed to criticize anything that wasn't promised?  If Sony never cuts the price on the PS3 ever again, no one can criticize Sony for that if no price cut was announced?
