Something interesting to note: Super Mario Galaxy, if it remains on it's current review path, will be the Wii's 4th AAA game (9+ on gamerankings) in its first year. Take a look at these fun numbers from the first year of each console:
9+ rated games in year 1:
Xbox 360
-Gears of War (TPS)
-GRAW (FPS)
-Call of Duty 2 (FPS)
-Oblivion (WRPG)
Playstation 3
-Oblivion (WRPG)
Wii
-Twilight Princess (Action-Adventure)
-Resident Evil 4 (TPS/Survival Horror)
-Metroid Prime 3 (FPS/Adventure)
-Super Mario Galaxy (Platformer)
All games listed above are based on Gamerankings.
So, everyone bitching about the Wii's first year of games should really take a step back and look at the bigger picture. It's had the same amount of AAA games as the 360 in it's first year, but a much more diverse range of genres. Now, that said, it's list of 8.0 games is much smaller, but I really don't see how people who bought 360s and launch and Wiis at launch can suddenly complain about the Wii's first year offerings when the 360's were arguably even worse.
