To the guy above this post: What do I have to say to "negate my fanboy status"? That I utterly love the Wii? Well, I don't, and that's the end of that. To Gnizmo: The reason I said cross out the multiplatform games is because they can be found elsewhere, thus not the considering factor between a choosing a Wii/PS3/360. Why should you get a 360 for the game when it's on PS3? Why should you get a PS3 for a game when it's on Wii? Why should you get a Wii for a game when it's on 360? You say crossing out multiplats when talking about the library is stupid, but it really isn't, otherwise, why isn't the PS3 selling better than 360? It's got COD4, Madden 08, Skate, etc...but those games are also on 360, and therefore aren't games that say "I HAVE to get a PS3 for those". GH3 is on all consoles, so how does that help in choosing which console to get? And also, as a side note, you can simply go into the SFX in options to mute missed notes. So now you agree that it's the Nintendo family that's carrying the system, even though before you tried to say "why'd you only talk about the 1st party title, look at thhe 3rd party"? Well it looks like the "only has Mario/Zelda/Metroid" statement still stands then. And for the LAST TIME, I never said that the games suck, I said that I don't like them. In my opinion, MGS > Carnival Games. Halo > Mario Strikers. Uncharted > Elebits. Is that so hard to understand. WHERE in my argument did I say the games suck? Along with not saying the games suck, but also acknowledging its' appeal, and that it's a great market strategy, how does this come off as "insulting the system" again? The majority of the games I don't like, I did NOT say "the majority of the games are crap", when you guys understand that, then this will make sense |
So what you are saying is the PS3 should be judged solely on games like Heavenly Sword, and Lair right now? The reason they count is because they still motivate you to buy a console. Suppose I have no console whatsoever and need to justify the expense. Guitar Hero 3, Rockband, Assassin's Creed, Madden 0*, and the other various multiplatform releases start factoring into it. And how exactly do we deal with games on 2 platforms, but not 3? Or that really suck on one platform due to bad porting? Does Madden 08 not count as a reason to get a 360 despite it having a way better version? Does the sea of inferior ports on the PS3 not make the 360 counterparts look better? If you start with the assumption of "I am going to buy a game system and need to decide which one," I can see where you are coming from. That is not how it starts though, and is not even the arguement I was making. I am saying there are a ton of good games that will play if you put the disc in the Wii. The Wii's game library is defined as the collection of discs that you can put in the system and have play. You cannot take out multiplatform titles and then claim to be judging the strength of the systems games library.
And I said, and will continue to say, the Wii has a good library of games including third party. They also have far more than just "Mario and Zelda lolz" but a lot of that does come from Nintendo. It just happens that their strongest supporter has a large range of games they can make well. Wii sports, Wii Play, Wario Ware, Mario Strikers, Mario Party, Wii Fit (soon), and Big Brain Academy are all very different games made by Nintendo that are lost when you sum it up as just the big 3.
