The 360's weakness is now its strength

[kn]

I agree to a point... The 360's best games are primarily Teen or higher with an awful lot skewed toward M. There are, however, quite a few games that appeal to my daughter and she has become interested in not just the game, but the overall presentation of that game.... So, when a game is multi-plat and isn't specifically enhanced by the wiimote, she goes 360... Lego Star Wars and Thrilville are a couple of recent examples...

I will admit the 360 has a long way to go in order to get more family oriented titles but it is definitely making some progress. The problem is, they don't "think" like nintendo when it comes to content. Viva Pinata is a good example... Yes, it is a GREAT game, and I know they wanted it to do well. My daughter loved the game up until the point she realized that the pinatas ate each other. That one little facet of the game ruined it for her. Back it went to the store... I have talked to so many people that tried Viva and didn't like that aspect that it makes one wonder what the hell MS/Rare were thinking when they made the game... "I know, let's make a visually incredible "animal-crossing" and let them eat each other... yeah, the kids and parents will love that!"....

Nintendo is the king when it comes to family entertainment. Period. A 360+Wii or a PS3+Wii is mandatory, in my opinion, for a diverse gaming household with both adults and kids playing....
