NES, SNES, PS1, and PS2... all of those consoles were truly the best of their generation and best selling.

But the Wii just does not make any sense to me.

I'm sure a lot of xbox fans didn't get that the PS2 was the best of it's generation either.

Fan or fanboy? I had an original Xbox and Gamecube, both were great. But the PS2 had an huge library of great games and tons of variety.

Just fans.  Plenty of people could of liked the Xbox but disliked the PS2 for some reason or nother.

The bolded could also be said about the Wii... to people who enjoy the Wii.

 

I'm saying people who actually prefered the Xbox over the PS2 were MS fanboys. The PS2 pretty much won hands down in every genre. The best reasons to own the Xbox was FPS and couple of adventure/RPG games.

The Wii may have variety but that's not worth much when the games are weak.

 

Looking at Metacritic, here are the amount of games with scores 75 and up.

Wii - 76

PS3 - 144

Xbox 360 - 233

 

Obviously a score of 75 shouldn't be considered high, how about scores of 80, 85, or 90 + because there is no way you could say that Wii has 76 games that are really all that great.

I completely agree with you about the Wii Library though, The problem here is that there are a thing I like to call elite games that define the console / generation. Examples of games like these would be like Vice City / San Andreas for the PS2 or Gran Turismo or FInal Fantasy VII for the PS1. The Wii doesn't really have this yet.  There are about 5-10 great games for the Wii (not quite elite games) and unfortunately after those 10 or so the quality of titles even for the average gamer falls fast.
