No, that's not what I meant; all of your points are well taken. What I meant was my own opinion of how its games and system capabilites fared against competition. The Gamecube had great tech for its day where as the Wii hardware is FAR behind the 360 and PS3. The Gamecube is where Metorid Prime and RE4 were born. True that the Wii has them both, but being the same games, they don't have the impact several years later on a current system as they had back in 2002 and 2005, respectively. To me the Wii has only two games so far that I would say are worth buying the system for alone: Twilight Princess and Galaxy (And the GC has the former too, although since they released at the same time I like the Wii version much better). The Gamecube, however had Metroid Prime, RE4, Eternal Darkness, Wind Waker, the beautiful remake of Resident Evil, Rogue Leader, etc. And lets not forget that it did receive many versions of third party games that were on PS2 and Xbox, such as Splinter Cell and Soul Calibur for example. The Wii never receives cross-platform games that the other two systems have simply because the hardware just isn't on par. Look at Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter 4. How about Call of Duty and Bioshock? Batman:AA? Final Fantasy 13? See a pattern? Pretty much everything that's a big 3rd party game always finds its way to 360 and PS3. Instead Wii gets on-rails RE games and Final Fantasy hand-me-downs from 3rd partys, so I disagree with that point. That's not to say I don't like the Wii, I do. I LOVE the fact that Nintendo came out with something different and kicked Sony's and Microsoft's ass this generation, only to have them both scrambling to copy the trend that Nintendo created. And there are plenty of good games on Wii; NSMB is great fun, MK Wii is FAR better than Double Dash, SSBB I like better than Melee, and games like Zack and Wiki are very unique AND only possible on Wii (until now, anyway). SMG2, Metroid other M and the inevitable masterpiece that will be Wii Zelda are just as high on my anticipation list as God of War 3. I'm definitely not saying that the Wii isn't doing as well for itself as Gamecube did, as I stated by pointing out Wii's incredible sales. I'm just saying that, so far, it doesn't have as many excellent games, first or third party, as the 'cube did. So far.

The wii has a lot more games that are worth buying. You are full of BS. I own 18 wii games, 31 VC games, 9 wiiware. I also play 20 cube games on it. Gamecube sucks deal with it
